New Spring (The Wheel of Time #0) 
Okay, so, two and a half star book, for me. I waffled between two and three stars for ages, but I'm going with two, I think, for a couple of reasons. One, what is the arc here? It's sort of Moiraine becoming a real Aes Sedai, but there isn't really any emotional development on her part. She is the same person before she passes the test for the shawl as she is after. I liked that person for the first half, then she did some questionable shit, and I stopped feeling so charitably towards her.Plus,
There are no beginnings or endings in the wheel of time but this is an ending. The prequel was the only book I hadn't read (listened to). It was enjoyable. Kramer and Reading are just two of the best narrators out there. The book itself while classic wheel of time was disappointing. There wasn't anything new of note and the first 60% was all white tower not Moraine and Lan off figuring out things about the Dragon. If you're a WOT fan, and I am but see it's many flaws keeping it from being the

The expanded version of the novella first published in the first Legends anthology. This is my third reading, although this time it was a listen. I first read it in Legends, then I read the hardcover upon its release. Now I listened to the audio version. Well presented.
Reviewed by: Rabid ReadsThis book gave me FEELINGS . . . . . . few of them good.For the first time in a WoT reread, I found myself absolutely hating the content. HATING. The only reason NEW SPRING didn't get one-starred is b/c there are more than a few poignant Lan moments. But without those . . . *flares nostrils*The first problem is that the front half to two-thirds of the book is slow as molasses. Noooooothiiiiiing haaaaaappennnnns. Well, okay, something happens--Gitara, the same Aes Sedai
A pleasure. I enjoyed it more than the later books in the main series, way more than Crossroads of Twilight for example.

The city of Canluum lies close to the scarred and desolate wastes of the Blight, a walled haven from the dangers away to the north, and a refuge from the ill works of those who serve the Dark One. Or so it is said. The city that greets Al’Lan Mandragoran, exiled king of Malkier and the finest swordsman of his generation, is instead one that is rife with rumour and the whisperings of Shadowspawn. Proof, should he have required it, that the Dark One grows powerful once more and that his minions are at work throughout the lands. And yet it is within Canluum’s walls that Lan will meet a woman who will shape his destiny. Moiraine is a young and powerful Aes Sedai who has journeyed to the city in search of a bondsman. She requires aid in a desperate quest to prove the truth of a vague and largely discredited prophecy—one that speaks of a means to turn back the shadow, and of a child who may be the dragon reborn.Specify Books Supposing New Spring (The Wheel of Time #0)

*** 4 ***A Buddy Read with the best Fantasy Fans at BB&B!!!A very nice recap of how the search for The Dragon Reborn started and the two Aes Seday who sacrificed much and dedicated their lives to finding and keeping him safe in order to live and be at his strongest at the time of the Last Battle between The Light and the Dark Lord. We also got to see a young Lan , who is wonderful even as a pup. A nice addition, but not an essential one. I wish you all Happy Reading and find time to enjoyOkay, so, two and a half star book, for me.
