Finally started book 6 of The Wheel of Time after a multi-year break. So far, Jordan is doing a fairly decent job of catching me up with things I read through book 5 by have forgotten in the intervening years.
Doesn't help that the divergences from the show are freshest in my head. Alas.
I read fiction for two solid hours last night, and that feels like a win.

@djwfyi@fosstodon.org Yeah, the prologues tend to be very detailed. If you haven't read the series before, I should warn you that books 8-10 are kind of a slog. He was adding more and more story threads and trying to fit all of them in, then started pulling things together. I don't know if writing New Spring is what got him focused again, or if that was when he got his diagnosis and realized his time was limited.
