The Eye of the World (Robert Jordan) is the first book of the Wheel of Time series. It explores the adventures of Rand al’Thor, Mat Cauthon, and Perrin Aybara, three farm boys who never thought they’d leave their small hometown, but discover their own power after finding that the stories they dismissed as myths are all true, and the fate of the world rests on their shoulders. Though this may sound like a cliche, I can guarantee it is anything but. The Eye of the World is one of the most complex books in one of the most complex series I’ve ever read, with deep, varied characters and creatures, complicated settings with traits unique to each one, and an intriguing, meticulously detailed storyline that will keep you thinking about it all the time. The intricacy is equivalent to (or possibly even surpassing) that of the Inheritance Cycle, and there’s always more to explore. I would recommend this novel to anyone who’s craving an adventurous, phantasmagorical novel where they are guaranteed to never be bored.
