I'm on a mission to help you find your new favourite books.

This video is a spoiler free and (mostly) unbiased introduction on the Wheel of Time (aka one of the best fantasy book series of ALL TIME). Ideal for new readers who want to know more about the series and if it's worth the commitment to read all 15 books.

I cover general world building concepts, characters and plotlines, content guide/warnings, readability report, rating each book in the series, and THE SLUMP. Plus tips for how to read a series of this magnitude.
