A couple months ago I found an anthology of the Wheel of Time.

I had watched the first 3 or so episodes of the Amazon adaptation and wasn’t super invested into the characters, but wanted to give the book series a shot.

Basically I’ve read about 7 chapters of New Spring and was wondering why literally none of this was brought up in the Amazon series until I realized that adaptation started with Eye of the World. Should I just skip New Spring and come back later? Does this even add to the new reading experience outside of a glance at Tar Vallon and the hierarchy of the Aes Sedai?

I don’t hate this book - but I already know Lan becomes Moirane’s Warder and that she meets/finds the Dragon Reborn.

My answer to pretty much every "reading order" question is always "it's hard to go wrong with publication order" - New Spring wasn't published until after Crossroads of Twilight (book 10).
