I have never read it but I think I may try to read it prior to August. It is about 4,500 pages it looks like so should be doable if I start soon. I assume I should read them in publication order even though book 8,
The Wind Through the Keyhole, is before a couple of the other books.
How does the trailer look in relation to the books? (Youtube video in the spoiler.)
Wikipedia has this to say which makes me think I really need to read them first to understand what is going on (possible spoilers?)
