Brief Chapter Summaries of Robert Jordan's WOT Series

This site is a growing resource of brief chapter summaries of Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time series. As far as I know, there is no way to read the Wheel of Time series online, so I wrote a synopsis of each chapter. This way, you can catch up on the plot of the books, going chapter-by-chapter to get an in-depth review. This site is meant to keep you from needing to do a full read-through of the series before you go on to the next book. The summaries are detailed enough to cover the major plot points, but brief enough that reading through them should hopefully not take too long.

The site's unique Spoiler Settings™ feature is designed for those readers who have not yet finished reading the series but want to have a reference for the series without fear of stumbling onto a spoiler. That's right: there are NO SPOILERS on this site, unless you choose to see them. This feature uses cookies, so please enable cookies in your browser.

In addition, the character biographies will help you remember who everyone is in the wide world of the Wheel of Time.

Future features of the site include locations lists, prophecy lists, and notable objects and events lists.
