“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 Shadow.”

This is the passage that begins every one of Robert Jordan’s books in this series. He starts them all with a certain atmosphere and faithfully carries the feel throughout the book.
This is the very first book in a 12+ book series. Through each and every one Jordan grasps his reader and wont let go until you have read them all.

In this first one, Rand al Thor and his fellows from the forgotten village of Emond’s Field are scrambled in a complex turn of events when Trollocs attack the town. A mysterious young (looking) witch woman, called an Aes Sedai, comes and rescues them and then takes Rand and the others off to her city…

An Epic Fantasy lover! Or anyone ready for an adventure you will never forget!

The characters, they are very relateable and they are alive for me now.

The huge intro's! R. Jordan has some difficulties keeping his introductions fewer than fifty pages Maybe not so much on this book but in the later books they get longer and longer....

Read the next one! And the entire series!...which I did

Exuberant! Really perks you up and gets you all excited

Is really talented and has so much skill at writing wonderful fantasty!

The character development is astounding. The reader connects with at least one of the characters because there are so many! And this is Epic Fantasy at its best!
