Hello

My name is Helena, I am 25 years old and I live in Belgium. I study journalism (almost finished my master) and I am doing an internship with the national public-service broadcaster, namely the VRT. I got addicted to the Wheel of Time series when I saw the books standing on the bookshelves of a friend when I was fourteen. I whined to my mother for the books (they were so pretty and I was hooked after reading the first chapter of EOTW, where Lews Therin is creating the Dragon Mount) and got a deal with her: one book a month. Naturally, I devoured each book as soon as my mum came back from the bookshop. I recently started to reread the books, since I spent two hours on the train getting to my internship. I love the books so much, but since I read a lot of hate on the internet, I understand that I would found more likeminded people on this forum. I am still deciding if I should by the WOT Companion, so if anyone has good experience with it, please let me know.

Kind regards

Helena

Welcome to TarValon.net! :D

I made the mistake of lending my copy of the Companion to my dad, so I haven't had much time to look at it myself.

Welcome, Helena! I recommend buy the Companion, because the series is long and detailed. If you ever get confused about something, or need a few more details, the companion is great for that. :pleased-1:

Welcome to TarValon.Net, Helena! I'm going to chime in on the side of buy the Companion; it's a neat book to have, and provides some more depth on some topics, should you want it.

Hello and welcome. I saw the Companion last time I was at borders and was so close to picking it up. One day maybe.

It would have had to be a Barnes & Noble, Borders closed down YEARS before the Companion came out :pleased-1:

And welcome, Helena!
