About this title

Review:

"Robert Jordan has come to dominate the world Tolkien began to reveal." - The New York Times

"The fourth volume of the most ambitious American fantasy saga continues to suggest that The Wheel of Time will also be the finest... This volume, indeed the whole saga, surpasses all but a few of its peers and is highly recommended for all collections." - ALA Booklist

"Jordan's multivolume epic continues to live up to its high ambitions... a feast for fantasy aficionados. Expect demand for this." - Library Journal

"A work of genuine and often stirring imagination." - Kirkus Review

"This fully imagined saga threatens to burs the seams of its steadily more intricate design... The sheer force of [Jordan's] invention develops a momentum that [is] hard to resist." - Publishers Weekly

"This series is so complex, I can't recommend starting anywhere but at the beginning [The Eye of the World], but the volumes only get richer as they go along." - Locus
