Here’s how to read all of Wheel of Time in chronological order. Jordan also wrote a prequel in 2004, which delves into backstory leading up to the series main plot. Jordan wrote all but the last 3 books in the main series, and author Brandon Sanderson finished the books using Jordan’s notes. Unlike the Dune books, the chronology is actually fairly easy to follow. So before Amazon fills our heads up with their version of what Wheel of Time looks like, get started on the Hugo-nominated book series now.
The books are epic in every sense of the word, from their incredible world-building to an extensive cast of characters.Īlthough there’s not much time before the show debuts, there’s no way the entire series could be contained in one season. The series’ plot centers on a member of the magical Aes Sedai (Pike) who is tasked with finding the prophesied “Dragon”, a person with immense power who will one day save humanity from the Dark One, an evil god. Starring Rosamund Pike, if successful, the series could become a crossover hit, akin to Game of Thrones. That’s where Robert Jordan’s popular fantasy series Wheel of Timecomes in.īeginning with The Eye of the World in 1990, Wheel of Time spans fourteen books, and on November 19, will have its first television adaptation thanks to Amazon Prime Video. We’re fresh off the success of Dune’ssecond film adaptation, and since the sequel to the sci-fi epic isn’t expected until 2023, we need to get our fix.
