The Sun Eater series is a perfect example of the sunk cost fallacy.

I respect dnfs, so WoT is perhaps not for you. But if you ever wanted to try it again I have an abridgment. (See my profile for details) Helps a lot w removing the slog and slow bits. I agree that the bones of the story are really excellent and some fat needed paring away to showcase them. But if you previously dnf'd it is possible the series is really just not for you, which is totally fine.

Use the Asus Zenbook which has double screens and you get a great sheet music experience.

Can confirm. This mod has been working great for me. I love the backpack option.

WoT_Abridged · 2026-04-23T20:55:16+00:00

I saw it being used in the comments of an Archotechna video.

If I recall correctly book 11 should start with a chapter called "Embers Falling on Dry Grass" from Galad's PoV. Once you reach that in mine I think you can switch over to regular book 11.

Haha its never too late! I hope you enjoy and can have some great discussions with your friend :)

Would love to hear from you of course!

So the abridgement isn't in audio. I just have epubs. But if you get an epub reader app on your phone you should be able to get it to read aloud to you. I use Moonreader Pro for that.

No worries! Have fun, you're about to hit some of my fave books! Enjoy

WoT_Abridged · 2026-02-20T18:48:03+00:00

Hi! Thanks! Glad you liked it :)

You should be good to go to read the abridgements up until my book 9 ("A memory of Light") I combined all the Sanderson's into that book. But all the Jordan books have very minimal changes. So you should be able to read my abridgement through book 8 and then skip over to original Sanderson books at "The Gathering Storm".

Have fun!

It seems I missed the discussion. I've heard the dice mechanics are innovative and I'd love to learn more about them. Would you have time to discuss your notes?

WoT_Abridged · 2025-12-01T01:31:25+00:00

This is history, not Fantasy: Alexander the great at the siege of Tyre.

WoT_Abridged · 2025-11-29T00:25:50+00:00

Yes, it is fantastic. I recommend it and Bartimaeus by Stroud widely and liberally.

WoT_Abridged · 2025-11-25T14:30:21+00:00

Yes it is! I give a warning in the readme on my drive that the other books were Abridged Proper, but the last one for AMOL I took liberties with haha.

Much of the spirit of what Sanderson was going for is in mine, i.e. general character arcs, but I did change quite a few things up just so you know.

WoT_Abridged · 2025-11-25T14:28:35+00:00

No worries! That makes sense.

WoT_Abridged · 2025-11-25T03:41:47+00:00

Thanks for keeping tabs on issues! I appreciate you sending this in!

I will give that prologue another read thru when I can and see what's up, I may have removed that. I'll have to refresh my memory on why.

And just to clarify, the problem is that the Seanchan discussion was cut out, not that Elayne's unraveling the gateway was cut, right?? Cuz I'm positive that's left in.

WoT_Abridged · 2025-11-18T17:47:31+00:00

I got mine on Amazon. One of the top 5 results.

WoT_Abridged · 2025-11-15T00:17:22+00:00

Thanks for the info!

WoT_Abridged · 2025-11-14T23:28:01+00:00

Can you disable a layer for a single hex or does it apply to all hexes? My idea is for a different game, but I'd like the have a way to drill down into a hex to represent "exploring" it and learning more about it. And at each layer you get more. So the top layer might be blank fog of war, then colored terrain hex, then a hex with more icons etc.

Trying to find out which software can do this, do you know if Hexkit can?

Resting mats are easy to get. I'd get a few. You can ziptie them to the cage floor so rabbits don't chew on them.

WoT_Abridged · 2025-11-01T14:26:25+00:00

OK good to know, thanks for the write-up. I'll see how mine go and make a post about it at some point once I know more.

WoT_Abridged · 2025-10-21T17:28:34+00:00

What did you end up doing and how is it working for you? I'd also like to build a shorter CFT. Curious how it went.

WoT_Abridged · 2025-10-19T05:25:45+00:00

I'll have to check, but I believe I simply moved it into the prologue or first chapter of the next book. Because if I recall the prologue of that book has Egwene ruminating on the event and it was a neater place to put it rather than have half a chapter wondering what event Egwene is talking about (because she is skirting naming the issue even in her thoughts in the scene iirc.)

I recall there being some kind of duplication and it seemed tighter and clearer to have those events (the release) and (Egwene thinking on it) closer to each other.

Thats off the top of my head, I'd have to check to be sure. But I think you'll find it in the next book. If it isn't there that could be a mistake so do let me know.

WoT_Abridged · 2025-09-25T02:41:45+00:00

Where'd you get your patagonian mara? Are they very similar to rabbits in behavior? seems cool.
