Wow...

So, I picked up New Spring years ago now, and for some reason, apparently, I NEVER ACTUALLY READ IT. I thought I had read it, but yesterday when I picked it up and started it, I realized that what I read is the short story from the Legends anthology, and not the novel. Moiraine has always been my favorite character from the series, so this was a pleasant surprise and a nice read.

Somehow I didn’t even realise there was a distinction. I’ll have to check this out, thanks.

That's good to hear.

My husband & I have been reading the set again, we're up to book 10 /11. It was funny. I'd complained about the Elayne chapters in 10 & said I more than likely would never reread them again. He got to that part & he started complaining too. One whole chapter for her to walk down the hall. I looked at him & asked if he wanted me to just tell him what happened so he could skip them. He thought about it for a while & then said yes, just to tell him, what happened. I covered everything that happened - then told him he needed to read the darkfriend part himself.

We still need to get Legends & A New Spring. I'm looking forward to the comic books / graphic novels. (Moiraine is also my favorite character female wise. Mat is my favorite male character.)

I liked New Spring pretty well too. I wish he had had time to write more side stories (more like the length of the original novella even) since I liked getting the background and they didn't succumb to the loss of direction the main story did.
