  • New Spring: How the Hunt Began

    To bring an end to our journey, we must go back to the beginning. What better place for our epilogue to happen then the prologue? New Spring is probably one of the less interesting Wheel of Time books to me. Which is a shame, because it stars two of my favorite characters from the series!…
