About this listen
Since its debut in 1990, The Wheel of Time by Robert Jordan has captivated millions of readers and listeners around the globe with its scope, originality, and compelling characters.
The Wheel of Time turns and ages come and go, leaving memories that become legend. Legend fades to myth, and even myth is long forgotten when the age that gave it birth returns again. In the Third Age, an Age of Prophecy, the World and Time themselves hang in the balance. What was, what will be, and what is, may yet fall under the Shadow.
For three days battle has raged in the snow around the great city of Tar Valon. In the city, a Foretelling of the future is uttered. On the slopes of Dragonmount, the immense mountain that looms over the city, is born an infant prophesied to change the world. That child must be found before the forces of the Shadow have an opportunity to kill him.
Moiraine Damodred, a young Accepted soon to be raised to Aes Sedai, and Lan Mandragoran, a soldier fighting in the battle, are set on paths that will bind their lives together. But those paths are filled with complications and dangers, for Moiraine, of the Royal House of Cairhien, whose king has just died, and Lan, considered the uncrowned king of a nation long dead, find their lives threatened by the plots of those seeking power.
New Spring begins Moiraine and Lan's quest to find the Dragon Reborn that will lead to the events of The Eye of the World...and their fateful meeting with Rand al'Thor.
New Spring is a perfect jumping-on point for fantasy listeners wanting to know more about The Wheel of Time and the forthcoming TV show.

Great addition or starting point
Not only does this provide some insight into two of the main characters backstory it also works as a good jumping on place for those curious to get an idea of the Wheel of Time series almost in its own contained book.

This is what Amazon's Wheel of Time should be.
Excellent read. Totally recommend. Loved how the story developed the characters. It really made them come alive to me.

More please!
This was a wonderful glimpse into Moraine & Lan's early days, my only critique is that it finished and left me wanting more! This could easily be extended into it's own prequel series.

An excellent beginning to the Wheel of Time series
Great for both those new to the Wheel of Time series or an old reader returning…
If you are new to these books or have just finished the TV series and wondering where to start, this is a very good place.
Having started reading the Wheel Time books many years ago and now coming back again, this answered many unanswered questions that had always lingered in my mind…
Also at the end of the narrative, it was a lovey surprise to hear from the author himself, Robert Jordan, a true Master of Fantasy.

A Back Story Must
The story of Lan and Moraine. Yet another brilliant read from Mr. Jordan with a climatic ending. Highly recommended,
Hanzo

Well, the start was
long but I am very pleased I persisted through, what both my Daughter and GrandSun , described as the construction of the foundation frame-work . New Spring is a Top book 📕, 💯 percent recommendable. Love the Romantic twist in the epilogue 🤍

Robert Jordan made another banger
This book really got me to warm up to the character of Moraine, I liked her in the previous books but experiencing a story as her as the protagonist (and younger) really showed a different side to her then that of the rest of the series. outside of that New spring answered some questions from the main books and overall is just great charcter journey for Moraine, siuan and Lan. perfect for new comers or someone who has just finished book 12 alike. honestly one of Jorden's best.

Stand alone story or a great bit of history
I’d held off listening to this one thinking it was just a short story set in the WOT world. But It’s actually one of RJ’s better tales. True it’s the history of established characters, but it’s written in such a way that any one can pick it up and enjoy it for what it is.
Highly worth the listen/read
