www.melissa413readsalot.blogspot.comUm, I don't know. I couldn't really get into this graphic novel too much. I wasn't too sure about some of the things going on. That being said, I have had all of the Wheel of Time books for some time now and have not gotten to read one of them yet!! There are just so many books and too little time. I don't know if I would have started the books first if that would have helped, although I'm not sure what that would have to do with it. I thought the graphics wer...

This is a very solid adaptation of the novel, but they changed artists or something partway through and it's very noticeable. I don't think I would mind the art style in the back half so much except that the art in the first half is so beautiful and detailed that losing it towards the end really sucks.

I have not read any of the Wheel of Time books. New Spring is an introductory graphic novel to the world of Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time. We follow Moiraine Damodred, a young Aes Sedai and her companions in the search for the Dragon reborn, a mythical person that will champion the forces of good. An interesting primer to the series. The art could be better at times but overall the artist provided a good representation of the story.

As true to the original story as a graphic novel could be. A nice adaptation!

I received this book through goodreads first-reads.Okay it's really hard for me to judge this graphic novel, so I will do my best to be fair. For one, I found this to be a very confusing read. And that might just be my ADHD talking, but there is SO MUCH going on all at once, it was very difficult for me to get a lot of this straight. I would need a long time to try to explain everything to someone else. I would have found the illustrated guide to characters and meanings a lot more helpful if it

I'm still making my way through A Memory of Light, but I came across the New Spring graphic novel at the library and thought I would give it a try.It's been almost exactly a year since I first started the Wheel of Time series, beginning with the prequel (though it wasn't published until the series was already well under way, I wanted to get the plot in order). So it's been a while, enough time for the graphic novel to be a lovely refresher as I make my way through the culmination of the story.I

Cheesy, as to be expected. I like some cheesy Robert Jordan.

Reading this shortly after reading the novel to see if there are any differences in the story. There are a few things much sped up, which is necessary for the medium. I did spot Elyas in here (a fun little easter egg), can't remember if he is mentioned in the book. I love the emails from 'Jim' at the end showing how involved Robert Jordan was in adapting this graphic novel. I really enjoyed the art.

Rating: 5 starsOk, let's begin with some preliminary stuff so then I can just rave about the illustrations. I loved this graphic novel. Maybe more than all the other ones. Maybe that's because RJ was alive and actively involved in the development of this volume, but I just think New Spring simply translates better than The Eye of the World because of its length. There were a few things I was kind of irritated by (like Siuan does not have a fringe) but mostly I was completely blown away. I will n...

I picked this book from the library shelf because it looked like it would take me more than one session to read, the cover was beautifully illustrated and it was written by Robert Jordan, whose Wheel of Time is on my bucket list. I should have left it on the shelf when I saw Robert Jordan. Simply because I had been warned previously of the depth and breadth of his writing and that it takes time to get in and through it. It was too much for me, with zero WOT context and being a Robert Jordan virg...

Loved it! New Spring is the prequel to the Wheel of Time massive series, and here it got graphic novel treatment, with full input from the author, Robert Jordan, before he died. I loved finally seeing Tar Valon, the White Tower, Dragonmount and many other reference points from the novels. Lots of "tasteful" nudity (no nipples!) which was distracting but very true to the books.Also fun to see major players from the end of the series appearing as novices and bit players. Kind of ominous to realize...

For whatever reason, I was never a big fan of Robert Jordan's fantasy work, but I came across this graphic novel and figured, "eh, what the heck, I'll take a look at this prequel and see if I like it."Well, yes and no. I suspect I'd have liked it better if I'd read the book prior to reading this graphic adaptation, but I'm not certain. Chuck Dixon is a good comics writer, and for the first half of the book, the artwork telling the story is outstanding, but then...I'm not sure why, but it felt li...

For the most part I felt like this was a really great adaptation of the novel. I loved the detail and faithful retelling. The first 7 chapters had fantastic art and I loved seeing some of my favorite characters and favorite institution of the series put into visual form. Unfortunately the 8th chapter is done by a different design team and it really shows. It's not the worst art I've seen (it's better than some of the Buffy season 8 stuff) but it detracts from the great 7 chapters before it. I kn...

The artwork in the first seven issues was just beautiful, and really did justice to the imagery put forth in the book, but the drastic change in the eighth issue was rather off-putting, I'd say, if not completely disastrous.

Overall this is a really decent conversion of New Spring into a graphic novel. For the first seven chapters the artwork is just beautiful, almost making up for the crappy TOR cover art of the Wheel of Time, and in general the story was converted with care. I most definitely enjoyed reading this novel.HOWEVER, I don't know what happened with chapter eight, but suddenly the artwork was shit and the typos in the text went through the roof. I'm being hyperbolic but the decrease in quality really was...

This was interesting. Never heard of this before. Good volume.

A New Spring is the prequel to the Wheel of Time series and it tells the story of Moiraine and Siuan and how the began as Accepted and were put on the path to finding the Dragon Reborn, before finally being raised Aes Sedai and being able to search for him. Moiraine also meets Lan and bonds him as her warder.I actually really like seeing Moiraine and Siuan and young women, it makes it easier to relate to them. The only thing I didn't like in this story in general was it didn't span enough time a...

Figured I'd start this fresh off my reread, which worked out great for direct comparisons. For starters, it's amazing how you can halve the page count by simply switching to a visual medium... and a lot of things look as Robert Jordan described them (notable to me: Gitara Moroso's outfit, the Ogier stonemason, Moiraine's mourning dress). This is largely because those earlier issues/chapters were made while RJ was still alive, and in this edition there are emails from him to the Dabel Brothers on...

An excellent transposition of the prequel of The wheel of time series where we get the knowledge of the prophecy about that child who will defeat the evil. The graphic art is truly beautiful and effective and brings a mystical aspect to the story. An invitation to visit or revisit the original series.

I liked it better than the Eye of the World Graphic Novel. Probably because I didn't read New Spring.
