New Spring by Robert Jordan

New Spring (Wheel of Time Prequel) New Spring by Robert Jordan



My review


rating: 4 of 5 stars
This is the first one of Robert Jordan's books I have read since he passed away 2 years ago. I very much enjoyed this prequel but and I am quite dissappointed that Jordan will not be able to complete the other 2 prequels he intended to write (not to mention the last book of the series).



I recommend this book to anyone who enjoys fantasy and has preferably read the other Wheel of Time books; It does not give much back story on the characters, so you will enjoy it more if you are already attached to them through the other novels. It is much shorter than the other Wheel of Time novels, but it has some great background on Moiraine, Lan, and Siuan.



Also, I just learned that Robert Jordan was a pen name of James Oliver Rigney, Jr. I feel pretty stupid for not know that before. :-) You will be missed Mr. Rigney.
