The book where WoT became WoT
This is a prologue-book, though does not fit to read as a prologue. Not story-wise, by thematicly replaces the Original Prologue, shifting the focus of the series from fighting the Dark Lord to Praising Jesus (the Dragon Reborn), thus leaving no doubt this NOT epic fantasy, not even fantasy at all, but just another Chronicles of Narnia, what is pure christian propaganda masquarading as fantasy.
When to read: There is a single reference in this thing to the other books, one of the 13 black leaving the Tower in book 4, but this name appeared first in Book 5... Long stroy short, you can read it after Book 5, no reason to wait any further. There's no spiler here, no setup, only this payoff.
