Interesting books

I have been putting reading this series since I was a child. Approximately twenty-five years ago. It’s a daunting task to read fifteen books. But we’ll worth it. I’m on book three. Jordan definitely has earned his place in the High Fantasy genre for a reason. I can’t wait to read it all. You can see where so many authors since have borrowed and expanded on his ideas. While this particular printing is as cheap as you can buy. It’s worth it if you want to just read the series for the first time. Eventually once read, I will donate, and then replace with a better quality set. I’ve already fallen in love with the series and I’m barely into the storyline. So happy I finally get to read this.

While looking for something to fill the LONG void between the A Game of Thrones books, a number of people recommended The Wheel of Time series. I decided to jump in with the first box set (The Wheel of Time, Boxed Set I, Books 1-3: The Eye of the World, The Great Hunt, The Dragon Reborn). While quite a bit different than A Game of Thrones (significantly less sex, violence and tamer language), I found the Wheel of Time world to be engrossing, and knew I was in for the long haul. The second set of books didn't disappoint.Honestly, I enjoyed this set of three books more than the first three. In particular, we get to watch a number of characters grow and change in ways we couldn't anticipate. Rand, Mat, Egwene, and the rest grow and change (I wouldn't necessarily use the word mature), while a number of characters and plots bloom around them. A constant criticism of this series is that the world Jordan builds is simply too big: he never ties off a plot neatly, while instead introduces several others. While I'll admit to losing track of some plot lines in the later books, I think that by reading this series consecutively (i.e. no 1-2 year breaks while waiting for the next book to come out), Jordan's writing shines, and the reader is able to more easily keep track of the wealth of characters and happenings that make his world so very rich.I highly recommend them to anyone who enjoyed the first three. If you didn't enjoy the first three...I suggest you probably try a different series ;).

The book "The Shadow Rising" is missing the first 18 pages.**Edit**Seller contacted me to send a replacement book.I'm updating my rating to 4 stars.

I've already read through the entire series before in a friend's cabin in the mountains, and so I've set my mind on grabbing a copy of the series myself. Great storylines, good reading. I can suggest people grab the set if they're looking for a bit of a darker high fantasy.
