So you've heard about this "Wheel of Time" series that is going to be (or, by now, is) on Amazon Prime and you got curious about it and did a web search and ended up here. This site is huge, and has information on everything in the books, but where do you start? Here's a guide to help you.
- Yes, the series is based on a set of books. Fifteen of them, and each one is thick, with on average 800 pages each. The covers of those books are on the main page of this site. Click on one and you can get to the chapter summaries of each book, which is NOT recommended unless you've seen the TV series or already read the books.
- The TV series is an adaptation of the books, and therefore will not be exactly like the books.
- The plot of the series is the classic Good vs Evil on a global, apocalyptic, scale. We'll be watching about both sides trying to win. Part of the trick for us viewers is determining who the good guys are and who the bad guys are.
- The setting is sort of a mix of Medieval/Renaissance time periods. It's tough to say exactly what it is because...
- This is not the first time this fight has been fought. There's the concept of a rotating "wheel of time", divided into spokes, with each spoke being an age. You and I are currently living in the 3rd Age.
