Does the book- series have simple languange-vocabulary? I'm planning on reading it in english although it's not mya native language.

Start with the first book, The Eye of the World, and see how it feels for you. However, this is a series of 13 very long books, so just be prepared that it will take some time!(less)

Being that the main character is a Dragon Reborn, do the memories passing through his mind, as a backdrop, hinder the story or enhance the plot? I like the fact that he tries to keep his identity as Rand separate from just being a Reborn Dragon

Ive stopped reading this series a little while ago (due to lack of material) And would like to start reading it again. Could anybody give me a heads up on what's going to be going on? because I know how this particular writer is with all his different plot lines. *evil glare*

The series is centered around Rand Al'Thor, the Dragon Reborn prophecies, and the ultimate release and final battle with the Dark One. Sure, Robert Jordan names a lot of characters, take you through a lot of point-of-view chapters, and sends you all over the place. Even if there are dozens of small subplots, they are all wrapping up the general plot into a cohesive whole, dealing with Aes Sedai, Aiel, etc. It's quite clear what the series is about, and what the overall goal of the storyline is.(less)
