From time to time, Humble supports charities I don't agree with. You can always adjust your payment so a listed charity does not get anything from your purchase.
Well, I asked Chad & got some good recommendations:
To refresh Books 1–12 at a high level:
1. Start with "As The Wheel Turns" — for short, book-level recaps.
2. Supplement with fan podcasts like The Wheel Reads and Cool Story for more detail as needed.
3. Use YouTube summaries (e.g., Daniel Greene) at increased playback speed for deeper plot continuity.
4. Optional: Refer to chapter summary text sites if you just want a written refresher you can skim/convert to audio. 
This Wheel of Time ebook bundle is a strong value for a huge fantasy series, especially for readers who want the later books and the Brandon Sanderson finish. The books are praised as amazing, with a satisfying conclusion and a long, gradual build that pays off. The bundle also includes ePub files that work across many devices, and the payment can be adjusted so less goes to a charity you do not want to support. The main drawback is the middle stretch, which slows down around books 7 to 8 and can feel like a slog. The bundle link also appeared unavailable for some, so access may need checking.
Commuters or multitaskers who want a recap-friendly series, because chapter summaries and short refreshers can help catch up without rereading.
The series is described as slowing around book 7 or 8, with books 7 through 11 or 12 feeling like a slog for some readers. It then picks up again with the Brandon Sanderson books and ends strongly.
The bundle link was reported as unavailable at one point, but a corrected Humble Bundle URL was shared with 2 days left. If the main page says it is gone, the updated link may still work.
The bundle is listed as ePub format and should work on computers, e-readers, iPads, phones, and other mobile devices. The listing does not explicitly say DRM-free, so Kindle use may depend on whether you can import the files after purchase.
New Spring is a prequel, but it is often better after book 5, Fires of Heaven, because the story impact is stronger. Many readers still save it for the end, so either placement is common.
The $18 price is considered worth it for the last three books alone. That makes the bundle especially attractive if you mainly want the ending volumes rather than the full 16-book set.
Read 7 or 8 books in the late 90s.
Reread those + the next 2-3 books in 2005/06.
Now it has been so long I think I need to reread them all again and finish this finally.
Anyone else do this? I'm a slow reader, so its brutal even when the books are great lol

Almost the exact same cadence for me.
Books 7-(11 or 12? don't remember where I stopped) are a bit of a slog.I've heard it ends amazingly though...
I wish there were decent 20-30 min audio summaries so I could catch up driving, mowing, etc

The link says the bundle is no longer available and hasn't been since May?
I've posted the correct URL. I looked at book bundles and it was at the top. May want to look at other bundles. Or not...I get sucked into buying and adding to my backlog. 😖

Supports the ACLU, sorry but that's a hard pass for me. Love these books though.
