Here we are, at an end of the journey (yes, more WoT activities coming up as promised over at![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
tar_valon). I started doing the 'Kat's Extreme Readers' Digest, The Irreverent Edition' summaries to help with the Book Club posts and to help myself to keep track of what happened and by the time I realised what task I'd set up for myself it was too late; I'd started so now I HAD TO finish.
The total word count for the Reader's Digests of all fourteen books is ~107k. Haha. Ha. In comparison though, the total word count of the actual books is, according to the internet, 4,012,859 so in that sense I did a Very Good Job at condensing the text to its salient (according to me) points :D
I did get increasing wordy though. For comparison, the Irreverent Summary for Book 1 was 2,3k but for Book 14 it was over 17k. In my defense, a the events got more complex and cast larger as the series progressed.
Despite the whining (which also got louder over time) I enjoyed doing this and will, for the sake of completeness probably offer the same for the prequel and short story analysis...
But for now, for your reading pleasure, I present 'Kat's Extreme Readers' Digest, The Irreverent Editions' of the final two books.
