I just finished The Other Wind by Ursula K Le Guin, completing my Earthsea readthrough. I loved the series and watching how her growth as a person influenced what she did with that world.

I just started New Spring by Robert Jordan, the Wheel of Time prequel. I’ve only read the first book of the main series so far and am a bit apprehensive of my decision to dive into such a massive series.

Yeah I was originally going to leave it for later but the next book wasn’t available at the library and someone told me I should have started at the prequel so I went for it. I’m almost done with it and I have to say it’s been a really enjoyable read! Hopefully I don’t regret it later on

I wish I could wipe my memory and reread those books fresh. How are you liking them so far?

I just started The Great Hunt (Wheel od Time book 2). Too early to say how I’m feeling about it but the series overallhas me intrigued.

Just finished Wheel of Time book 2 (The Great Hunt) and about to start book 3 (The Dragon Reborn). I absolutely devoured book 2 so I’m super eager to continue.

I read through Earthsea last year and I just went in the order they were published in. I would caution that books 1 and 2 feel very different so if you aren’t big on the first one, give the second one a shot before you call it quits.

I’m still on Wheel of Time book 3 (The Dragon Reborn). I’ll probably finish it this week and move on to… book 4 lol. Trying to keep my momentum up as long as I can. Helps that I’ve been really enjoying the story so far.

Yeah historically I’ve just binged through series but I’ve never read one so long and am a bit worried about it. I plan to join a monthly book club run by my library starting next month so that will force me to break things up (and push me away from reading almost exclusively fantasy). Hopefully it helps!

I’ve been meaning to read his work. Do you think it should be read in the order it was published or can the related series be read in any order?

Currently on The Shadow Rising (Wheel of Time book 4). Been reading it at an insane (for me) pace to hopefully finish this week. This book had a slow start but for the last few hundred pages, I’ve been absolutely hooked. Can’t wait to see where this series goes and how the characters continue to grow.
