  • The next few books are great, but around the middle of the series it really drug for me. There’s a huge number of characters to keep track of and a lot of simultaneous storylines going on, and while some of them are great, some of them are rather dry, and the dry ones always seem to get brought up right when the good ones are reaching a climax. Once you get past those few books, it gets good again, and Brandon Sanderson’s books at the end are excellent.

    If you’re in the mood for a fantasy epic (with all the baggage that entails), it’s worth the read. There’s also audio books of the whole series and the readers are excellent.


  • The Eye of the World, the first book in the Wheel of Time series. There were other books I really liked prior to that, but I distinctly remember reading that one on a long road trip I was stuck on with my parents, and being just completely enthralled by it. Made a 14 hour car ride feel like nothing.

    The series ultimately led to discovering Brandon Sanderson as an author (when he took over for the last 3 books in the series), which led to a lot more really memorable, beloved reads, so that’s a nice added bonus.
