About the book

The Wheel of Time is now an original series on Prime Video, starring Rosamund Pike as Moiraine!

The Eye of the World, the first novel in Robert Jordan's #1 New York Times bestselling epic fantasy series, The Wheel of Time®, follows Moiraine Damodred as she arrives in Emond's Field on a quest to find the one prophesized to stand against The Dark One.

The Wheel of Time turns and Ages come and pass, leaving memories that become legend. Legend fades to myth, and even myth is long forgotten when the Age that gave it birth returns again. What was, what will be, and what is, may yet fall under the Shadow.

When a vicious band of half-men, half beasts invade the Two Rivers seeking their master's enemy, Moiraine persuades Rand al'Thor and his friends to leave their home and enter a larger unimaginable world filled with dangers waiting in the shadows and in the light.

Since its debut in 1990, The Wheel of Time® has captivated millions of readers around the globe with its scope, originality, and compelling characters. The last six books in series were all instant #1 New York Times bestsellers, and The Eye of the World was named one of America's best-loved novels by PBS's The Great American Read.

    Epische Fantasy und tolles Worldbuilding

    Ich bin zum Buch gekommen, weil ich die Serie schaue und sie mir gut gefällt. Und weil ich High Fantasy sehr gern lese. Das Buch hat einige Längen, es liest sich wie eine einzige Einführung zu einer Haupthandlung, die erst in den nächsten Büchern beginnt. Aber tolle, ausgearbeitete Charaktere, eine sehr detaillierte Welt haben mich dann doch nicht losgelassen und ich lese auf jeden Fall weiter. Es gibt Anklänge an die Artussage und auch an Herr der Ringe, was mir ebenfalls sehr gut gefallen hat.

    The Wheel keeps turning!

    The Wheel of Time keeps turning and ages pass - even a second time. This is my first reread of TWoT and I'm absolutely enjoying it. Getting to know about all the characters from another perspective is great and roughly knowing what will happen without remembering too exactly does a great job in worldbuilding and returning to this world. The storytelling still has a few slow parts but it doesn't (and didn't the first time) bother me, knowing it's part of such a grand universe with 15 Books. I really like the story in which Nynaeve wants to become an Ajah and learn more about the Amyrlin Seat. And I like the hints Rand gets that he might be the reborn Dragon, and his developing personality.

    Rueda del tiempo 1/15 The Wheel weaves as the Wheel wills. El camino ha iniciado y he llegado a la primera parada, tal vez maravillado como Rand, Perrin, Mat, Egwene y Nynaeve al llegar a cada nueva ciudad. Me da un gusto decir que este no es solo el inicio del camino para leer La Rueda del Tiempo, si no tambien para leer mas sobre fantasia (El señor de los anillos, El archivo de las tormentas, La primera ley, Malaz, son algunos que ya estan en la lista). Ahora solo resta dar el siguiente paso para adentrarme más en la aventura, entrar más en el Patrón y que la Rueda teja el destino. Hay muchos momentos que me quedan en la memoria de este primer libro. Aun asi, de escoger 3, me quedo con La declaración de Nynaeve, El sacrificio de Hopper y La despedida de Rand a Egwene. La primera porque, en menos de una página, Nynaeve declara su amor de una forma preciosa, simple y elegante. "Will you shame me to the point of asking you?" "I will never shame you." La segunda es, al igual, un momento muy corto. Perrin y Egwene siendo emboscados, todo parece perdido y, en un abrir y cerrar de ojos, Hopper (un lobo que conocimos previamente) se despide de Perrin, su Lobo Hermano, y volando como las águilas se sacrifica para darles más tiempo. Es hermoso. Además que Perrin luego pierde el conocimiento y, al levantarse, descubre que su ira lo cegó y termina matando a dos de los hombres que participaron en la emboscada. La tercera es el cierre del libro. Rand ama a Egwene pero sabe, entre otras porque por ahi le contaron, que no pueden estar juntos como él quiere. Además, sabiendo que ha podido canalizar la Fuente Verdadera, tiene miedo de enloquecer y lastimar a los que ama. Todo nuestro grupo parte hacia Tar Valon mientras que Rand decide partir a otro lugar sin ellos. "I'm going away , but not home" (...) He put his arms around her , and whispered into her hair. "Not ever home."
