Awesome that you guys are doing this series together! I'm on book 6 atm and really liking the series. Parts are definitely slow but still really enjoying the overall story and very excited to see where it goes. Heard Lord of Chaos gets crazy at the end so I'm excited!
I'm glad you're excited about the video series! I still can't believe I convinced Richard to do every book with me. Lord of Chaos is easily one of my favorites!
@@DiggerdanReads hey! Will absolutely be tuning in to every episode. Lord of Chaos ending was indeed absolutely insane! I’m now about halfway through A Crown of Swords and enjoying it so far. I’ve kinda gotten the vibe that a lot of readers think book 7 is either bad or the starting point of the series being really slow paced but so far book 7 has had a lot of cool stuff and I don’t really feel that slow pace. I even thought book 6 was slower in the middle. What’s your take on that? (With no spoilers of course) 😄
@@CvpArt I'm happy to hear it! I agree that what you said is the general feel for a lot of readers, however I disagree. Although key in mind that I never experienced "the slog" and just ripped through the books one after another. In my opinion Crown may be a touch slower than other books because of how much time is spent in Ebou Dar, but for me personally it never really dragged.
@@DiggerdanReads yeah that makes total sense. I do see how the Ebou Dar story is a bit slower than for example Rands pov chapters but I’m having a good time with Mats pov. My plan is also to try to get through the “slog” books pretty fast and keep momentum going. I’m generally a pretty slow reader and it took me like 2 months to get through Lord of Chaos, but I’ve read half of book 7 in 6 days or so so that’s pretty fast for my standards haha. Also not bad that 8-10 are some of the shorter WOT books. Heard it really picks up again in Knife of Dreams. Excited for your next episode btw! Hope it’s coming soon. 😄
@@CvpArt Hey everyone has their own pace! I think I averaged about four week a book for the first 7 or 8 and slowly got faster. Honestly what is saving me now on the reread is the audio book. Now even with very limited time I can knock out a WoT book in a week and half to two weeks max. Book three video should come in the next few weeks, I just gotta coordinate with Richard to sit down and record!
I wasn't really feeling the series after reading book 1. But my friend, who recommended the series to me, said to give book 2 a chance, and if I didn't like it, to stop. So I read book 2, and now, 8 months later, I'm on book 11.😂
Take your time! Trust me, if you stress yourself out and try to rush your enjoyment will suffer. I always have to remind myself that reading is supposed to be fun haha
I did the whole of Wheel of Time last year (it was a mammoth undertaking). I cannot wait to re-read, I really look forward to seeing the subtlety that I missed on the first run.
That's awesome! It took me about a year and a half to get through the entire series. For me so far, the reread has been even better than the first time through
@@DiggerdanReads Dude I cannot wait! The 2nd book is the one that really hooked me to the series, the Seanchan, the Horn, multiple characters stepping out of the shadows in good and bad ways. Cannot wait for the re-read
I love the videos! Can we watch the spoilers though? I dig the book reviews but hearing spoilers for future books makes it hard to watch while we read.
Thanks Joe! That is fair, I apologize if I ruined anything for you. I find it really hard to not go full spoilers during discussion. I promise I'll be better about avoiding things that come up in future books
Dude if I had to talk to a buddy about like stormlight, red rising, or any series I’ve read and try not to do spoilers it would be so hard! I totally understand! Hopefully my comment didn’t come off as rude!
I really didn't see it until the reveal, but if I payed closer attention maybe I would have gotten it the first way around. That is a great comparison! Both are very honorable in the end
Haha no worries. I could have done a better job conveying that this is each of our own second time reading the series. I will tell you though, I finished WoT at the very beginning of this year and I think it’ll probably always be my favorite book series of all time
Awesome discussion. Can’t wait for the rest. I’m 4 books in so far.
Thanks man I'm happy you enjoyed it! That is awesome to hear, you're in for the ride of a lifetime.

Thank you, boys. Great content!
Thank you Scott, I'm glad you enjoyed the video!

Way to stick with it! I'm always happy when I hear that someone gives WoT a second chance and they end up enjoying it
I'm so excited to read book 3 and beyond now!
That's awesome and makes me so happy to hear! I'm excited to be part of your Wheel of Time journey
oh my you're rereading it way faster than me reading it now for the 1st time! I'll have to hurry up
Take your time! Trust me, if you stress yourself out and try to rush your enjoyment will suffer. I always have to remind myself that reading is supposed to be fun haha
Oh Dan, One Day I will read these, and one day I will enjoy these videos so much!
I will patiently wait for you Benjamin and than who knows, maybe we can have our own discussion 😉
Let's GOOOO
Made it through book 10. Loving book 11.
Yes Thomas! You’re nearing the end! I’m my opinion, the last four each get better off of the last so you’re in fora treat

Thanks for understanding! No not rude, but even if it was I wouldn't be upset lol Spoilers can cause a lot of emotions
Thanks for all the spoilers for the later books 😂 I thought the Ingtar plotline was so predictable.
I thought he was a lot like Boromir.
I really didn't see it until the reveal, but if I payed closer attention maybe I would have gotten it the first way around. That is a great comparison! Both are very honorable in the end
Dude, if you already love this series, you're in for the ride of a lifetime
edit :oh nvm sounds like you've already read lol
Haha no worries. I could have done a better job conveying that this is each of our own second time reading the series.
I will tell you though, I finished WoT at the very beginning of this year and I think it’ll probably always be my favorite book series of all time
Are you guys going to be doing this for all of the wot books?
Yes! The plan is to review every book, including New Spring!

The irony of minute 1:14 that randland has 10 day weeks...
That is very funny, and I didn't catch that myself until I went back to edit this video. Good catch!
