A Review of the Book "The Eye of the World" by Robert Jordan


Title: The Eye of the World
Author: Robert Jordan
Publisher: To Doherty Associates
Year: 1990
782 pages

From the Back: The Wheel of Time turns and Ages come and go leaving memories that become legend. Legend fades to myth, and even myth is long forgotten when the Age that gave it birth returns again. In the Third Age, an Age of Prophecy, the World and Time themselves hang in the balance. What was, what will be, and what is, may yet fall under the Shadow.

Personal Thoughts: I will be honest. It's not often I reread books but I decided to challenge myself to read through the Wheel of Time series. The Eye of the World was my first foray out of the science fiction genre many years ago. I had only read the first 3 books of the series and then got defeated by the sheer massiveness of the books. Now that I've gotten used to reading longer novels, I'm hoping I will slowly make my way through the series. The story is quite incredible and I love Jordan's writing, but it will definitely take me a long while to read all of the books. Especially as I will still be reading other books along the way. Here we go!
