Series Summaries

[Joe Hempel]

Hey everyone!  New to the forums because I figure this was the best place to ask this sort of thing.  I didn't know where spoilers might be, so I posted without really doing a search to see if this topic existed.  If it's been asked, I apologize.

 

I've read up through book twelve, the first one Sanderson co-wrote, but it's been a while since I've re-visited the series.  I read The Gathering Storm about a year after its release so it's been a good 3 years since I've been back to the series.

 

While there are certain things that are clear in my mind, I'm sure I'm missing certain details that are important.  So, would finding just the summaries of the books be good enough to get me started in finishing off the series?  I'm really not all that interested in going back and re-reading 12 giant tomes.  If so, where would be a good place to get them?

 

Thanks for the help!

I like the Encyclopedia WoT:

Yeah, the above link is pretty solid.  I've not noticed much issue with spoilers.

I'm doing a re-read of the series, a chapter at a time, and each chapter has a synopses.  I intend to take all of the recaps and put them together at the end, kind of 'CliffNotes WoT'.
Nothing really beats a re-read, though.  There's a lot of things that I am sure you missed the first time through, details that seemed unimportant at first.

Thanks folks I appreciate it!

 

I know re-reading it would be better, but I don't really have the time to do that.

the encyclopaedia site (which another poster linked to) gives chapter summaries.  only the footnotes contain spoilers.

 

whole book summaries; I think Wikipedia has them.
