The Eye of the World

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.

If you like fantasy, "The Eye of the World" by Robert Jordan. A new narration by Rosamund Pike was recently released corresponding to Amazon's release of their live-action series of this series. Overall, it's a well written, engaging story that begins an amazing series, should you become interested and desire to continue reading/listening. Weighs in at nearly 33 hours, so there's no way you'll have to start something different midway. And if you like it, there are 13 more installments in this epic fantasy.

I really enjoyed The Eye of the World. I can't wait to start book 2. I have heard the series slows down considerably later on.But so far I love it.

I mean, Rand is still the dragon reborn, Saidin is still tainted, men who channel still go crazy. Channeling saidin and saidar are still treated as fundamentally different.

Adding a couple other people to the candidate pool for TDR didn't change much except leave new viewers guessing who TDR was for the first season whereas in The Eye of the World it was very obvious from the start
