As you may or may not know, I am a big reader. I read many books each year mostly in the fantasy genre. I recently finished Book 11 of the Wheel of Time series by Robert Jordan. I think that each of the books in the series is between 700 and 900 pages. When you consider that there is a year or two between each book release, it can be quite a long time from the time that you start the series to the time you finish it. As I was reading book 11 Knife of Dreams a character became center stage that had been introduced a couple of books back. I can’t remember his name, but he is the Deathwatch Guard. The problem was that when I was reading I couldn’t remember anything about him until near the end of the book. It would have been a far more interesting read if I could have gone back and read the earlier sequences with him when he first popped up in the book.
This is where I come to the point of this post. There should be an index for this kind of thing. Why can’t I see a character and go look him up and get the page and book numbers where I can go back and read the previous interactions. Maybe it is up to people like me to get it started.
What do you think?
