Annie asked this question about New Spring (The Wheel of Time, #0):

Should this be the first I read out of the wheel of time series? I see there is a book #1 and this is book #0 and was written after. I would like thoughts from people who read this series. Thanks.

Here is my reasoning: I bogged down in the series in the 4th or 5th book, some years ago. I bought "New Spring" soon after it published, and a lot of what was going on in the series began to make sense to me. I have just re-read "New Spring", and now feel ready to tackle the entire series, again. Of the people who posted before me, I think that Emma has it best: reading this absolutely first might not work, but waiting until the end won't, either.(less)
