It is missing a couple pages after 1213.

I love this.

Took everything about the first book and did it just as well if not better in spots, then added on some complex character work. Tension at the end of the book was masterful.

It’s so hard to find great, compelling, and relatively clean fantasy epics. This is it. Jordan’s story telling is world class, and I’m so grateful for this series!

The characters are rich and the narrative compelling. The storyline felt a bit “wandering” though at times. Perhaps it resolves itself in later books but it seems as if characters would appear, develop for a while and then disappear without a trace. I will have to read more to say more though, which I’m sure, is what the author intended and the hallmark of a good writer. A worthy read.

Just a Great book

A hard to put down read. One of the my enjoyable books I’ve read in ages.

But Rand has got to be one of the dumbest people ever. After everything he still won’t believe.

If you liked the first you will love this one!

The best book series I’ve ever read and this is my third time reading it.

There were several glitches that didn’t allow me to highlight/make notations on the first line of some pages. When I tried to select a word, the page would jump to halfway between the last page and the page I was on and freeze until I went to the next page, if that makes sense. Not a huge deal, but kind of annoying. Also, I don’t like that I’m not able to zoom in on the maps to get a better look and that sometimes when I search for a word, the results don’t give me every instance it appears in the book, oftentimes including its presence in the glossary. Other than those problems with the digital book, the book itself was amazing! What got me interested in this series in the first place was a comment I read on Reddit years ago. It went something like, “I envy those reading and experiencing the magic of the series for the first time. Even re-reading the series, one never quite attains the exhilaration felt the first time around.” I would imagine it’s like getting high; it’s never quite as good as the first time.

Classic!!!

Robert Jordan does it again with his unique word-smithing! I was totally entwined with this book from start to finish. Jordan has a great pacing to his books that leads to a satisfactory conclusion!

The book seemed slow at first. Then the story grabbed you and didn't let you go until the book ended. The story is still going. Just bought the next book and will start reading it tomorrow. It is 0200 and I have to get to sleep now. At least try to.

When you finish this book, you will regret the fact you didn’t get to live in one of these great fantasy worlds. Rober Jordan masterfully touches that inner part of your soul that has always creaved more than we get in our reality.

The original volume ("Eye of the World") is interesting, but lacking in the overall storytelling arrangements and in character development. This second volume much improves the storytelling, primarily by regularly switching points of view but occasionally also by "showing" where the first volume would be "telling". The increase in story pace doesn't hurt either (although I didn't mind the pace in the first book). I think the characters still lack depth, but I'm hoping that will improve in the following books. In any case, the story is now strong enough to go on...

Robert Jordan at his best!

Amazing book! Especially the last half! I cannot wait to read the third book.

but apples stupid security code errors not letting me..
