There are no huge leaps in time from 1-10 in regards to the present timeline. It all happens within just 4-5 yrs I think in that regard, but there are numerous sections in 1-10 that go anywhere from maybe 5-500,000 yrs in the past. It's all pretty epic.
Ed: I maybe off on that present line as it's been many yrs since I've finished but I think it goes from 1163-1167 or more Burns Sleep.
I just downright hated RoT and I'm mad I paid HC $ for it. I won't be doing that again unless I just hear the others are stellar upon release.
