Helpful Score: 2

The power of Robert Jordan's novels lies in the flesh and blood of the world he creates. His writing brings to life expansive landscapes and detailed cultures. Before long you'll feel as if you've lived in the Two Rivers all your life.

The Eye of the World is my favorite out of the Wheel of Time series. The story begins with the protagonists as young adults being chased by a horrid evil of which there is no safe place to hide. Each of the characters has so much potential and you glimpse it in this novel. During the later novels the main characters learn more about who they are and what they can do, but in the Eye of the World they are still young and inexperienced.

If the thrill of a new journey excites you then read this novel, it may be a little slow at first but it will hook you in if you stick with it.
