Origins of the Wheel of Time: The Legends and Mythologies That Inspired Robert Jordan by Michael Livingston

3.0

informative slow-paced

---

A huge fan of the Wheel of Time series, I’ve been wanting to check this out for a while. The first half is a bit of a biography on Robert Jordan and how the story came together… and the second half is literally just a giant glossary. If you like reading definitions; this is the book for you. I sort of enjoyed it, but it also kind of took the magic away from a lot of the names/places. I’m not sure what I expected?? Either way, skip if you’re just a medium fan of the series. Read if you’re a super fan.
