Nobody seems to have posted here yet, so I’ll start with some useful resources for readers and show watchers alike.

I personally think that TarValon.net’s Library is the best Wheel of Time resource for people who are currently on their first read-through of the series. They have excellent chapter summaries for helping you remember what happened 5 books ago, and their chapter summaries are, in my experience, meticulously spoiler-free. They are very careful about marking spoilers on TV, and hiding them so that you don’t accidentally find yourself reading them.

The Wheel of Time Wiki is generally well maintained and accurate, but be warned- it is extremely full of spoilers and spoilers are often not tagged and in introductory paragraphs of pages. I hate that it is indexed so high on google, because a lot of the search results for main characters immediately show end-of-series spoilers.

Brandon Sanderson is very active on Reddit, and sometimes talks about the Wheel of Time. His username is u/mistborn. Be warned, his comments contain spoilers for all of the Wheel of Time, as well as for all of his other currently released books. He interacts with fans quite a bit, and has some great discussions with them- but many of them are very full of spoilers.

For TV show news, The Wheel of Time Twitter Account is a good go-to. They may occasionally post mild book spoilers, but nothing serious. Rafe Judkins’s twitter is also a good place for news.

    There’s also the Wheel of Time Companion App. Choose what book your on, enter the characters name, and it brings up their info mostly spoiler free. I stopped bothering with most Aes Sedai, its great if you need to know the difference between all the S names.

    Thanks! I spun up these subs when 6/12 hit and hadn’t gotten to sticky any posts.

      No Problem! r/wot was one of my most visited subs. I’m a commenter/lurker though, IDK how to post for a sub like this. I’m good at joining discussions, not starting them.

    @Landrin201 Another great source of TV show news is WoTSeries.com. They get all of the scoops. If you’re trying to avoid getting spoiled about stuff on upcoming seasons, it may not be the best place to look. https://www.wotseries.com/

    If you’re a fan of the show and want to know more about the world without spoilers, Unraveling the Pattern on YouTube has done some great spoiler-free videos. https://www.youtube.com/@UnravelingthePattern
