The Eye of the World

Robert Jordan's world has a detailed history. At times his writing drags on with description and explanations, but then you will encounter a string of events that make you continue turning pages. My first thought when I began reading this book was: how is Robert Jordan going to manage so many characters? It seemed like every page I turned there were more and more people being introduced. Once the storyline moved past the first town, and certain events, he was able to break up the story based on certain groups of characters. I would have to say of the three boys Perrin was my favorite to read about until the end. Rand has now piqued my interest. I do wish there had been more about Moiraine and Lan. I love the concept of the Aes Sedai and have many questions about who they are and who the Warders are.
