What a fantastic book! So much depth to the characters and this is written so well i found it impossible to put down. Robert Jordan has a way of pulling you in and making you visualize so clearly what is happening that its as if you yourself were there!

Great start to a great series! The mid books get bogged down in too many details, but the early books (and final ones, written by Brandon Sanderson based on Jordan's notes) are among the finest fantasy books in the modern era.

If Robert Jordan would have kept things on a MUCH shorter MUCH simpler level he might have had a great series. He would have been able to finish the books before his death at only 58. I only read the first three and I have since regretted it.
