Thoughts: This is a classic in Epic Fantasy and a must-read book for fans of The Lord of the Rings or Brandon Sanderson novels. The world is rich and complex, the characters are fully formed and multi-dimensional, and the experience is an adventure you will want to come back to again and again.

Favorite Quote: The leaf lives its appointed time, and does not struggle against the wind that carries it away. The leaf does no harm, and finally falls to nourish new leaves. So it should be with all men and women.

First sentence: The Wheel of Time turns and Ages come and pass, leaving memories that become legend.

Summary from Amazon.com:

The Wheel of Time turns and Ages come and pass, leaving memories that become legend. Legend fades to myth, and even myth is long forgotten when the Age that gave it birth returns again. What was, what will be, and what is, may yet fall under the Shadow.

When The Two Rivers is attacked by Trollocs–a savage tribe of half-men, half-beasts–five villagers flee that night into a world they barely imagined, with new dangers waiting in the shadows and in the light.

Since its debut in 1990, The Wheel of Time® has captivated millions of readers around the globe with its scope, originality, and compelling characters.
