The start of my favorite series

It unfolds in the traditional Tolkein archetype before branching out and quickly becoming its own epic fantasy. I highly recommend the series.

The series has yet to publish the 14th and 15th books. When it's finished there will be over 10,500 pages of reading material in all. Needless to say, I'm glad that I have a huge list of books ahead of me whenever I'm in the mood to relax with a good story.

I haven't finished it yet but it takes a long time to get to the action. It's kinda of a copy of the Lord Of

I have lost count of the times I have read and reread this series over the past 18 years, as addicted now as when I began reading it as a teen.
Epic, with elements of high fantasy and a felicity of style that drags the mind further into Jordan's world than you expected to go.
A must for people who enjoy epic fantasy.

Second Time

The first I did not enjoy it much, but the second time around it was much better.
