Robert Jordan
1990
5/5
This is one of my favourite books of all time, and this must be at least the 9th time I've read it.
The Eye of the World is the first book in the Wheel of Time series by Robert Jordan, the series will consist of 14 books when it is completed in November 2012. Sadly the author died before he was able to complete the series, however the final books have been written by Brandon Sanderson.
The lives of 5 young people from a tiny village in the woolly-backs-of-no-where are turned up-side-down, in the days leading up to the spring festival of Beltine mysterious strangers are seen by the young men of the village, at the same time a lady, a swordsman, a gleeman and a peddler arrive in the village. An attack that evening by creatures thought to be myths changes the lives of the 5 young people forever. Their fate and that of the world is intertwined...
The Eye of the World tells the tale of their flight from home with the forces of evil of their tails and the adventures they have along the way.
Each time I read this book, I get more out of it, I will probably read this book, and the others in the series, once a year for the rest of my life.
