  <default-description>As the seals of the Dark One's prison continue to weaken, Rand al'Thor struggles to master the madness-tainted power that marks him as the Dragon Reborn. At the same time, his friends and companions become caught up in the roles laid out for them by the Web of Destiny. Though it borrows from a multitude of legendary and literary fantasy sources, Jordan's multi-volume series continues to exhibit a freshness that makes it a welcome addition to any library's fantasy collection.&lt;P&gt;&#8212;&lt;i&gt;Library Journal&lt;/i&gt;</default-description>

    <body><![CDATA[Why is Nynaeve so angry?  Of all of the characters in this book, Nynaeve is the most unbelievable.  Despite being on the order of 30 years old, she can't control her temper and won't allow anyone to disagree with her.  All of her power comes from being cranky all the time.  Come to think of it, all ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/56375992">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[When I read first book of the Wheel of Time series (Eye of the World) I almost gave up on it, until the last hundred pages of that book, where it suddenly seized me up in its mighty grip, flew me through three more volumes and finally let me down in Crown of Swords.

    <body><![CDATA[I’m going to give the same review to all the Wheel of Time books I’ve read because ultimately they all run together so much their distinctions blur.  I read them between 2001 and 2002 and at first couldn’t put them down.  Jordan creates a fascinating, well-designed and intricately detailed wor...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/26427403">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This was one of the books in the WoT series that I remembered best, even years later. (Actually, a large part of that might have to do with the fact that this is the last Recognizable Cover for me in the series. From here on out, they were pretty much interchangeable, as I recall.)

    <body><![CDATA[I guess you could call this book the beginning of the great nose dive.  Thinking back, I thought the the series starts to go down hill at book 6 or 7, but in actuality, it all starts here.  Jordan decides to block large chunks of the point of view for one character together, creating a non-linear ti...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/23150507">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[The early Wheel of Time series is (if you can get past the REPUGNANT Darrell Sweet cover art) is among the best the fantasy genre has to offer.  I would confidently say this holds true through the first five or six books at least, perhaps even to a lesser extent seven and eight.

By the end of this one though, Rand finally has to proclaim himself.  Ninivae, Egwene and Elayne have become more comfortable with their power. Perrin is still fighting his nature.
