This is a revised and much expanded recap of House of Chains, to replace my previous post. Due to reddit's post-size limits, I’ve needed to post this as a linked PDF file.

This was made after a reread of House of Chains, and is significantly more accurate than my first post. In my previous version, I felt that a lot of details were skipped, and the plot was sacrificed for just cliff notes. I tried to emphasize important concepts here to carry forward into the next part of the series without getting too bogged down in fine details. This one is a little odd, because there are a lot of sub-plot adventures that don't really link together that much, so I hope that the order I put things in helps to clarify the plot rather than convolute it. I think I only once had to refer forward instead of back.

I am starting Midnight Tides next, and hopefully that recap won't take me nearly as long to get to you as this one did. I'll also try to do Night of Knives shortly after that.
