Robert Jordan goes into much detail about the characters and environment in all of his books. While this helps bring the story to life, I began to find it a bit overwhelming by the time I finished this one. What kept me interested was the intriguing story line. My advice: If you're looking for a quick read that you don't have to think about, don't choose any of Jordan's books. But if you've got the time and want a story with a whole world brought to life through vivid detail, this is it!

Wow. I couldn't finish reading this...I was so disappointed but it just dragged and dragged and then I had another book from PBS come in and well, I just couldn't justify forcing myself to read something that I just couldn't get into(even though I felt obligated cuz it's supposed to be this amazing series). I just have so many other books calling my name waiting for me to pick them up....
I went about 200 pages in, and still lots interest.... Book one was great, so maybe I will pick this up and start over some other time...

I have to say I wasn't as pleased with this one as I was with the eye of the world. But it was still a pretty nicely written book.
