Full disclosure: I did watch “The Wheel of Time” Amazon Prime adaptation before reading this book. I was very aware of the story beats that were the same and those that differed due to the adaptation itself and the difficulties during filming.
All that said, I did enjoy The Eye of the World. It is quite dense and honestly, at times, felt as though it should have been broken up into smaller books. The world feels very rich and lived-in, which I very much enjoyed. There were definitely times where the amount of characters felt overwhelming and detrimental to things like pacing.
I really don’t have a lot to say about The Eye of the World. It was good enough as a first outing to keep me reading further. I’m looking forward to seeing how the rest of the series pans out.
