LET'S SUMMARIZE - THE DRAGON REBORN (The Wheel of Time Book 3)

[@mista_balloonhands]

Neil Patrick Harris talks fast but he sure knows a lot about these books

[@nearzero12]

Holy shit!!!! Lmao

😁😂🤣

[@paulwillis1722]

Lol

[@FTUD734]

Doogie!

[@charlottestewart1851]

i watch these after finishing each book :) thanks Daniel! love your content

[@harshbihany5381]

Same !!!

[@georgerashbrook3259]

I watch each of every book I’ve read after I finish each book adding one each time. Just finished the dragon reborn earlier.

[@rae-zz5nl]

@@charlottestewart1851 I do too!

[@hrvojezovko8426]

Mat is the MVP of the book but all he gets are sniffs, boxing of the ears and tugs from fucking Nyneave

[@cernunnos8344]

This whole part with Mat near the end of the book was horrible, Mat was doing great and really getting the spotlight he needed only to be teared down by Egwhine and co. despite saving them ? Then to just be ignored by everyone ? Then insulted again by Nyneave at the end of the book ? Like wtf ?

[@vladnacu2536]

After Mat opens the cell door, Nyneave and the other two's top priority is to throw shit at him instead of getting out of there and free themselves from being shielded from the One Power.

[@billybegood466]

Nyneave was written as a extremist feminist. Very loathe of men and more so of needing their help. If she didn't have such a passion for healing people, she would have made a perfect Red.

[@nature337]

​​@@billybegood466I disagree, at least as of my reading of book 4. She finds Mat and Rand foolish, but she was their village's wisdom, and Mat (dragging Rand with him) pulled the foolishness of the village. She doesn't hate Loial, Domon, or Lan. She's quick to call them fools at times, as she is quick to call Egwene or Elayne fools. Meanwhile she hates Moraine, the Seanchan, the Black Ajah, and Aes Sedai in general. Maybe that scene was odd, but she was very very angry and in trouble. Mat's grin usually causes that trouble, it would probably be disorienting to see him in a savior role, and unlike her normal self, she even realized she was somewhat the fool for not being thankful She might be a feminist, and she certainly thinks men are often wool brained and stubborn, but I don't think she hates men fundamentally. She's just a bit grumpy at all fools because she never had the chance to be a foolish kid.

[@DA-bn9ny]

@@billybegood466 nah not really, she's just a very grumpy, headstrong person

[@bloodybones5303]

Just re-listened to this on Audible. What really stood out to me was how little Rand was in this book. He's barely in it.

[@jangofatt7135]

Yes, it's very ironic considering the title is about him.

[@iadd2568]

It’s on purpose obviously

[@samsonfreeman5273]

that’s the beauty of it. the first two he’s the central character and in this one he runs, and when you do see him it makes it that much more dramatic. When the merchant and her guards come to his camp you are completely surprised by the outcome

[@alexandrakendall811]

I’m only in book 11 but rand taking the back burner is a recurring event, which I kind of like since there’s just so much going on in the overall story

[@sNNNNNable]

I really didn't like it the first time I read it because of this. . 2nd read through tho I liked it a lot more

[@NickEnlowe]

That moment in Illian where they realize a Forsaken was in control of the town, that moment was horrifying. I thought it was handled really well.

[@mauritsfb9959]

Watching these as I finish each book! Thanks for making them Daniel, starting book 4 tomorrow :)

[@saeedajaib]

I am doing this now. Little late to the party but really enjoying it.

[@Yungshamgod]

@@saeedajaib I’m with ya. Just started book 4

[@georgerashbrook3259]

Just started book 4 todY

[@narutobullock]

My boy Mat, the man of the year lol.

[@Finnssssss]

Yeah this book should really be called "Aemon Reborn" lol This is where Mat starts taking over as most people's fav. Up till this point Mat has been annoying, childish and in general just not a very likeable character. The other issue so far has been that you have Rand the Dragon Reborn, Perrin the Wolfbrother and...Mat. Now you have Aemon reborn with super luck.

[@sunburstshredder]

I always watch these to refresh my memory when starting the next book. Thanks for posting these!

[@TheLamb126]

Dude these really help while trying to get into book 6 after a big brake to go read the stormlight series. So much better than Wikipedia, thanks!

[@DanielGreeneReviews]

I am glad they are helping!

[@jacobturner5213]

Same here. These are great if a little refresher is needed.

[@guscurley9476]

I’m on a first read through and I’ve been spacing them out, your videos have been lifesavers!!!!

[@shawnkuhn4753]

Just started book 5 and these recaps are super helpful! Especially since my brain is having trouble remembering if something happened in the book or in the show.

[@justinlapicola8505]

Haven’t read these books in a while and I want to continue where I left off and these videos are perfect for catching up on where I was. Thanks!

[@danielkean8180]

I like the background music. It is low-key enough to not distract me from what you are saying, yet it adds a hint of mysterious-ness and mystical-ness which really contributes to the atmosphere of storytelling. Fantastic. I feel like I'm cozying up next to a fireplace.

[@Gunleaver]

For the griping about needing notes, there were very few mistakes, although half the book went missing. - It has, precisely speaking, been a whole winter since the end of The Great Hunt. That book ended in the fall, and it is now spring. - Perrin does not summon the wolves, they come of their own accord, because Perrin does not like contacting them. - It was Children of Light who intervened when Perrin frees Gaul. - Gaul is not headed to Tear. Tear is in the opposite direction of travel from his homeland to where he is now (Altara). Gaul had to pass Tear to get to where he met Perrin. He decides to go to Tear after talking with Perrin, who tells Gaul flat out that He Who Comes with the Dawn is on his way to Tear. - The girls do not go to Tear to save Rand from a trap, they go because they have hints that the Black Ajah are going there.

[@maxroy5246]

Thanks, nerd Just kidding 📚 😎

[@amnaeldnd4376]

Having just finished book 3 I would add: -the firework girl Tom and Matt saved (Already forgot her name, LMAO) -The Aiel (Hope this is how its written in english as Im reading The books in bulgarian, also i could have some other spelling erorrs) which freed Egween Eleine Nyneve from being handled to Murdraals

[@Gunleaver]

@@amnaeldnd4376 Ironically, Aiel is the only proper noun spelled the same in English. The three characters you mention are spelled as Egwene, Elayne and Nynaeve and Myrddraal is the US spelling of the Shadowspawn. It is properly both the singular and plural form of the word, though many fans use Myrddraals for plural. And you are right on the omissions, but I chose to simply correct the errors Daniel made that are contradictory to the text. I suppose it's a matter of personal opinion which events are important enough to be included, so I let it slide.

[@hockeyhalod]

Man your workspace has really evolved. Mad respect.

[@NMLP92]

Really great summary. I just finished The Dragon Reborn, and wanted to hear a quick summary of the whole thing before getting too deep into The Shadow Rising, and this was perfect!! Thank you!

[@ChristopherStone]

I started this series in January and just finished Dragon Reborn today. I love these summaries because it just makes me appreciate the series so much more. I’m watching these after reading each book. Thanks for which ever video it was you made that got me to bite the bullet and read the series.

[@serpentsaurus7969]

Haven't read these books in five years or so! Thanks so much for these recaps~

[@gematr14a42]

I love how when Mat frees the girls they are like "wow what a jerk" because they were about to escape themselves and Mat is all like "well I think it was cool"

[@mycheesesteak]

Thx for doing these reviews Dan, I enjoy them.

[@DanielGreeneReviews]

mycheesesteak I'll be keeping them coming!

[@joeporch2882]

'Mat beat them with a stick..' 🤣😂😎😎

[@emilygraham6196]

can't wait to see this scene in the show adaptation

[@carolbriscoe9337]

Your synopsis was a lot quicker than my reading the actual book. But you did hit all the high spots. Thanks Daniel

[@LesSimsJr]

I love your videos. Your editing and putting in little blurbs, etc crack me up. You make listening to someone else talk very entertaining.

[@smithchasea]

Thanks for making these!! About 6 years ago I made it half way through the 4th book. I just watched your recaps of the first three books and am set to start book 4 over again. Thanks again!!

[@josephbeaulieu1569]

my favorite line in the book it's when Uno wants to skin the dead wolves but parents says to bury them with the men

[@firaldo87]

These videos are great, I'm working my way through the books and whenever I finish one I come watch the summary video to make sure im not missing anything lol

[@Zillawill]

Thanks for these videos Daniel, I was reading and loving WoT, but then stopped reading anything but manga for about a year and left WoT at start of book 4, I've just got a Kobo Forma so getting back into it and this video made me remember how much I hated it when Matt didn't even get a thank you

[@ShalomDove]

Soooo… i left off with the dragon reborn… a while ago. Now using these as a brush up before starting the next book. So thank you for this 💜

[@zealconis5685]

Thanks a lot Dan, I started reading book 4 a few days ago. But because I read book three almost more than a year ago there were a lot of gaps in my memories of the previous books. You cleared a lot up for me! Keep up this awesome work. I appreciate it a lot!!!

[@laurenmackey571]

Listening to you summarize these books that I know so well really effectively communicates how you experience this story. How you describe things, part recounting information, part interpretation/response, what you choose to overlook... all really brings your perspective into three dimensions. Also, the music is a delightful touch.

[@lbaungartner]

wait, so basically during ALL THIS TIME (the 3 first books) the enemy with the fire eyes WASN'T THE DARK ONE? LOL, i didn't catch that from my reading (but i think i should've figured it out, lol), thanks!

[@ultantuffy1194]

Lucas Baungartner same for me, I was reading the part where that was mentioned and didn’t pick up on it. While waiting to start the Shadow Rising, I reread the last few chapters and I was completely blown away. I did not see that coming, and they barely made a big deal out of it

[@ericmelkonian5297]

Thanks for doing this. Ive taken a hiatus between book 6 and 7 and your videos are a great refresher!

[@mycheesesteak]

After freeing Gaul , Perrin and Gaul are attacked by White Cloaks.

[@pepepepedrinho]

Ok, now I'm watching to find inaccuracies.

[@TheBookRefuge]

Its a pattern now. I watch the Summary, read the book, watch the summary again. It really helps me. Then I watch the review.

[@briangallagher3106]

The Book Refuge wait you watch the summary before you read the book? Have you read them before? That sounds crazy to me!

[@TheBookRefuge]

@@briangallagher3106 haha! Yes, I do. I am not someone who minds Spoilers and I like to know the basics of what will be going on. I usually forget the details he mentions, but I will remember the main plot so I can keep up.

[@greytigyr4120]

Thanks!

[@Gauravkoolwal]

Respect my authoratah, I lost it there 😂😂. awesome mix of 2 of the most amazing pieces of literary / television creations ever haha

[@stephaniehough8383]

Heck yea another UMW grad and Wheel of Time enthusiast! Appreciate the summaries 😊

[@MichaelMiller1]

Nice review. Just finished the third book and hearing your condensed version filled in some holes. Thanks!

[@xHugoxN7]

Took a break before restarting book four, and i really needed this recap, thank you.

[@JoshuaCJones]

Thanks for the great video! I really needed this one to make sure I didn’t completely miss something in this book cause I REALLY struggled to finish the last half, glad the last two chapters were enjoyable for me though

[@sudo_garrett]

thank you so much for these videos I take huge breaks in between these books due to my schedule, these help so much

[@CoiKickapoo]

Thank you 🙏 for your summary🤛🏽, best in-depth quick descriptions. I have read the first 5 books 📕 and needed a good refresher. Thumbs up 👍

[@DarthFlauschi]

I would be lost without this videos, because I already forgot half the stuff that happened

[@Ashleyforreal]

Love these summaries. ✊

[@BrumbleJumble]

one note is that in the first few minutes that mat was in tear a three forked lightning flashed over the hut with the healer in it signifying that the girls were there. Mat is clearly very strongly pulled by the pattern

[@Nj-fn5oe]

Come to these after each book. Love it

[@joshuateubanks4302]

I've been considering re-reading these books. Great summaries, you make good points. I'll get back.

[@briangallagher3106]

I just finished this book, I’ve read the first 3 books since the end of June. I love em.

[@MrNimaTehrani]

Thanks for these summaries👌 they are great

[@samuelsheehan4937]

This review makes the book sound really good. Probably because it isn’t bloated with like 600 pages of three girls bickering on a boat like the actual book 😭 Great summary though

[@LonnyH]

My interpretation of Rand killing the people at his campsite was that they were indeed innocents he murdered. He's dealing with ba'alzamon invading his dreams and making everyone he loves try to kill him at this point, along with actual assassins, and he even attacks egwene while she uses the ter'angreal to visit his dreams. So he's paranoid. But the wording in the book heavily implies to me that this particular group were likely just a merchant and her guards approaching him. The merchant isn't described as armed and her guard are described as bewildered and fumbling for their swords after the woman is slain.

[@tomofekshlomai7706]

Thank god for this series, I'm about to finish book 12 and because of the sheer volume of plots and characters I needed a recap for the books I've read a couple months ago (yeah I've been reading the entire series one book after the other)

[@MrMundo83]

I read this book seven times....you did awesome job on the story line. ...

[@signaltome]

Ishy was never really strongly trapped (if at all) in the seals so no wonder he might have gotten a bit unhinged during the last.... what, 3000 years or so? Welp, that is the last will see of him i presume. Ehem.... :-P

[@lawrnc1424]

After finishing book 3, I'm 100% on team Mat :D

[@domatood]

Ah sunshine thank you for this summary!

[@breezy3392]

Matt's luck sounds insane and very fun to read 😀

[@williammeek765]

Mat found Julin Sandar on the roofs.

First read through for me. Mat's stocks are 📈📈📈

[@metarus208]

very good summary ... a lot of cover but covered well

[@hammzakhaliq4164]

Great video, but if I may give you some advice: try and tone done some of the music in the background because it can be a bit loud at times.

[@nikolasprince1604]

Great summary

[@jaredjjacobs]

Did Any one else listening to the audio book think that they had just spaced out during the Rand sections every time?

[@forgotten-z2f]

this is great! thanks man

[@cernunnos8344]

Nyneave, Egwene and Elayne do be competing real hard to win "worst character ever"

[@chickenmonger123]

What the name of the song at around 11:32?

[@mrdaleward5278]

will u be doing non spoiler reviews of the series also?

[@DanielGreeneReviews]

I did a long video where I reviewed the whole series. It is book by book, and the first couple in the video are spoiler free.

[@nearzero12]

[@samsonsmith6815]

Plz no with the piano music in the background

[@cernunnos8344]

The book was great but it completely disgusted me with Egwhine, Elayme and Whineave. Like god they are despicable. More Aviendha, Min and Moiraine in the next books please I can't stand those 3

[@SpamSpade14]

"Its really obvious this girl has a crush on Perrin" ... I didnt pick up on thet the entire book. Am I as autistic as Perrin?

[@CheesyChez421]

Perrin has an existential crises about being a furry? Which chapter is that in so I can skip that one?

[@Mjot101]

But what about the girls

[@dillonchandler8929]

I just got done with this audio book. I needed someone else to explain the ending

[@lowestCommonDenominator]

glad these videos exist because the world building of WoT is so fascinating, but the writing leaves so much to be desired. i've tried 3 or 4 times to read and/or audiobook through the series but book 7 is my limit. the plot gets soooooo slow at many points (and i heard it gets even worse in books 8-10) and many characters are written so awfully, most of them being the female characters. Faile is straight trash from introduction to wherever i left off in book 7. Just a truly toxic, gaslighting, beyond immature, irrational, extremely jealous, awful person. by extension, Perrin pissed me off for allowing that kind of terrible behavior. as crappy as Egwene and Nynaeve are written, at least they have some redeeming qualities. but yeah, the world building of the WoT is amazing. i wish there was a re-write of the series by someone else (not Sanderson though).

[@TheBirdThatWhistles]

The audio gets worse with each episode. I love what you're doing but what the heck did you add to the sound at 7:09, it's very annoying.

[@stillnessspeaks4080]

If you are “really tired” why don’t you wait until you sleep until you record the video😂 is someone pointing a gun to your head forcing you to record this video at this very moment?

[@jakeschreiber7861]

why did you tell things so out of order? i wanted to follow along as i read but you’re recalling chapters that happened at the very end before chapters that happened at the very beginning….
