Reviews"Jordan has come to dominate the world that Tolkien began to reveal."--The New York Times "Jordan is able to take...familiar elements and make them his own, in a powerful novel of wide and complex scope.

Women have a stronger role than in Tolkien...Each character in this large cast remains distinct....Their adventures are varied, and exciting....The Eye of the World stands alone as a fantasy epic."--Locus "Robert Jordan has created a fantasy world as tangible and credible as history.

Jordan has a powerful vision of good and evil-- but what strikes me as most pleasurable about The Eye of the World is all the fascinating people moving through a rich and interesting world., Praise for Robert Jordan and The Wheel of Time® "His huge, ambitious Wheel of Time series helped redefine the genre." --George R. R. Martin, author of A Game of Thrones "Anyone who's writing epic or secondary world fantasy knows Robert Jordan isn't just a part of the landscape, he's a monolith within the landscape." --Patrick Rothfuss, author of the Kingkiller Chronicle series "The Eye of the World was a turning point in my life. I read, I enjoyed. (Then continued on to write my larger fantasy novels.)" --Robin Hobb, author of the award-winning Realm of the Elderlings series "Robert Jordan's work has been a formative influence and an inspiration for a generation of fantasy writers." --Brent Weeks, New York Times bestselling author of The Way of Shadows "Jordan's writing is so amazing! The characterization, the attention to detail!" --Clint McElroy, co-creator of the #1 podcast The Adventure Zone "[Robert Jordan's] impact on the place of fantasy in the culture is colossal... He brought innumerable readers to fantasy. He became the New York Times bestseller list face of fantasy." --Guy Gavriel Kay, author of A Brightness Long Ago "Robert Jordan was a giant of fiction whose words helped a whole generation of fantasy writers, including myself, find our true voices. I thanked him then, but I didn't thank him enough." --Peter V. Brett, internationally bestselling author of The Demon Cycle series "I don't know anybody who's been as formative in crafting me as a writer as [Robert Jordan], and for that I will be forever grateful." --Tochi Onyebuchi, author of Riot Baby and War Girls "I've mostly never been involved in any particular fandom, the one exception of course was The Wheel of Time." --Marie Brennan, author of the Memoirs of Lady Trent series "I owe Robert Jordan so much. Without him, modern fantasy would be bereft of the expansive, deep worlds and the giant casts which I love so dearly. It's not often I can look at another author and say: that person paved my way. But such is exactly the case with Jordan." --Jenn Lyons, author of The Ruin of Kings "You can't talk about epic fantasy without acknowledging the titanic influence Robert Jordan has had on the genre." --Jason Denzel, author of Mystic and founder of Dragonmount.com "Jordan has come to dominate the world Tolkien began to reveal." -- The New York Times "The Wheel of Time [is] rapidly becoming the definitive American fantasy saga. It is a fantasy tale seldom equaled and still less often surpassed in English." -- Chicago Sun-Times "Hard to put down for even a moment. A fittingly epic conclusion to a fantasy series that many consider one of the best of all time." -- San Francisco Book Review "The most ambitious American fantasy saga [may] also be the finest. Rich in detail and his plot is rich in incident. Impressive work, and highly recommended." -- Booklist "Recalls the work of Tolkien." -- Publishers Weekly "This richly detailed fantasy presents fully realized, complex adventure. Recommended." -- Library Journal, "Jordan has come to dominate the world that Tolkien began to reveal."-- The New York Times "Jordan is able to take ... familiar elements and make them his own, in a powerful novel of wide and complex scope.

This is one of the all-time top fantasy series!
This book is a treasure, the first volume of the fabulous series, The Wheel of Time. No comparison to the Amazon series of the same name, by the way...it is a thousand times better. The series is neither adapted from the novels nor is it truly inspired by the novels - as it changes and destroys the characters, basically only using their names, and perverts the world created by the author and the story he tells. The rich world building and amazing tale by James Rigney Jr., aka Robert Jordan, makes this one of the classics of all time. Though this first work is basically a stand alone novel, you will be thrilled to continue the adventure along with the main characters, who will live on in your imagination long after you have finished the books.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Strong beginning to an epic series
Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time is an epic fantasy spanning 14 books and a prequel. So 15 books, if you want to get technical. Jordan writes with flair, but takes time to focus on the details. Some would say that he focuses too much on the details, actually. He also has a tendency to run more main characters than your average book. That is, there are three main characters, but dozens of others receive their own chapters, some of them almost as many as the "main characters." Plots within plots, webs within webs, but always a satisfying conclusion. The good guys will win, as they should in this type of fantasy. This is the beginning to my personal favorite series. Let it be yours as well.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

I am rebuilding my collection
I previously owned all of The Wheel of Time Series and was happy to find another well loved copy of the first book at a reasonable price. I lost my previous collection to a fire, when it arrived it felt a bit like getting an old friend back. I’m also silly and sentimental. The book arrived packaged well and shipped in a timely manner. My only criticism would be there was a lot of tape to cut through that made me worry that I would damage the book when I took scissors to it.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

I have to reassess my first evaluation on this product as I've found out that the whole series is on the device. However it does not work on certain computers, TV's and stereo USB ports. Still well worth the money Excellent Value
