in fact, there will be long stretches where nobody is fighting and everyone is politicking.Īnyway, you can do much worse than wheel of time with slow. if you manage to reach so far without putting down the book.Īlso, there is a lot of political intrigue too. There is one such climatic fight near the end, and while i didn't like it because it felt pulled out of nowhere (again, after rereading and knowing what is actually happening, i can appreciate it better), but if you liked the prologue, you should also like the end. it's slow to start, the more the main characters will become badass, the more epic fights you will see. no sooner than book 4 i could make full sense of it.Īnyway yes, you get epic fights and big plot twists in the wot, but it's pretty slow. when i read it the first time, the prologue was utter nonsense to me.

But even then, it's a wild ride with tons of twists and turns, major developments and crushing defeats and all the things you can hope for in Epic Fantasy. Eventually it does slow WAAAAY down as the character and storylines diverge, to the point where you may go multiple books without seeing some of the original Main Characters (this is probably my biggest complaint about the series). Even the three Sanderson wrote to complete the series were written to be loyal to the Jordan's intent and style rather than injecting his own.Īs far as Wheel of Time itself: Yes Eye of the World gets better (in my opinion), much like LotR, things start off kinda slow in the first half of the first book, but soon get rolling. Robert Jordan's writing, while I liked it, is a different thing than Sanderson's. But if you are looking for it to be in the Sanderson style in any particular way, it just plain won't be. Will the whole book be like this with nothing happening? I’m a big sucker for big epic fights and mind-blowing plot twists, so will the series deliver that? Does Eye of the world get better? I would appreciate if you left spoilers out of this thread thank you!Īs a Series, Mind-blowing Twist and Awesome action definitely happen. Don’t get me wrong I really like the characters but the story isn’t going anywhere. I started reading the book and expected pretty much from it, and the prologue definitely stood up to my expectations! But after that nothing really exciting happened in my opinion. I’m a huge fan of all Brandon Sanderson books out there especially in the cosmere. Hi everyone!! You’ve probably seen this question a million times but I’m midway through the first book in the WoT series and this far only the prologue has been good.
