The Eye of the World: Book One of The Wheel of Time (Wheel of Time, 1)

The Wheel of Time is now an original series on Prime Video, starring Rosamund Pike as Moiraine!

The Eye of the World, the first novel in Robert Jordan's #1 New York Times bestselling epic fantasy series, The Wheel of Time(R), follows Moiraine Damodred as she arrives in Emond's Field on a quest to find the one prophesized to stand against The Dark One.

The Wheel of Time turns and Ages come and pass, leaving memories that become legend. Legend fades to myth, and even myth is long forgotten when the Age that gave it birth returns again. What was, what will be, and what is, may yet fall under the Shadow.

When a vicious band of half-men, half beasts invade the Two Rivers seeking their master's enemy, Moiraine persuades Rand al'Thor and his friends to leave their home and enter a larger unimaginable world filled with dangers waiting in the shadows and in the light.

Since its debut in 1990, The Wheel of Time(R) has captivated millions of readers around the globe with its scope, originality, and compelling characters. The last six books in series were all instant #1 New York Times bestsellers, and The Eye of the World was named one of America's best-loved novels by PBS's The Great American Read.

Incredible. Changed my reading preferences for life. All books will be compared to this series.

I can kinda see why certain people might think of this as just another Fellowship of the Ring knock off, which... isn't a half lie; Jordan WAS a big Tolkien fan. But I personally liked it because it was an introduction to the world of the Wheel of Time. Good lord it took me a while to clear this.

It doesn't matter how many times I read this book, I find more things to discover and love each time.

I've started a reread of The Wheel of Time, a series I was fortunate to discover back in the mid-90s - the one responsible for me becoming a fantasy reader. A boyfriend I had in high school handed me THE EYE OF THE WORLD and told me it was his favorite book, so you know how it is, I had to read it because he gave it to me. The size of that MMPB didn't daunt me, I'd been reading chunkers from Stephen King for years by that point. At least the love for Robert Jordan and this series was born from the ashes of that failed relationship...
