While the plot definitely has the familiar tropes of high fantasy novels, and as a result there are a few similarities that can be seen in other works within the genre, this is largely due to the huge impact The Wheel of Time series had on the genre. That being said, I would urge you to continue reading as it picks up the pace around a quarter of the way through. However, both times I felt that the book got off to a very slow start. This is my second time reading the Eye of the World, and I must say, I definitely enjoyed it more the second time around. Together, they journey onward to the Eye of the World and hopefully to thwart the Dark One’s plans. Eventually, the friends are reunited at Camelyn, where Loial the Ogier joins the group.

The group is tracked by Trollocks, Fades, and Darkfriends, managing to stay one-step ahead until they are forced apart at Shadar Logath. The journey is long and filled with peril and unforeseen obstacles. Along with them in this quest are Moiraine Sedai, Lan the Warder, the gleeman Thom Merrillin, Egwane al’Vere, as well as the village Wisdom Nynaeve al’Meara, who join the boys to fight the Dark One and prevent his plans from coming to fruition. Following an attack on the village by a band of Trollocs, Rand, Mat, and Perrin must embark on a quest to find answers as to why their quiet village was attacked by beasts thought to only exist in legend. The guard and noblewoman are, in fact a warder and Aes Sedai respectively. While preparing for Winternight, two travelers arrive to the village a guard and a noble lady-or so it seems. This thrilling series begins in Emond’s Field, where we meet Rand al’Thor, Mat Cauthon, and Perrin Aybara. The Eye of the World is the first book of the fourteen book Wheel of Time series by Robert Jordan. “The Wheel of time turns, and Ages come and pass, leaving memories that become legend.” The Eye Of The World:
