Excellent basic epic fantasy. Top notch., Juil 12 2004
I am a fan of big, fat fantasy volumes, this should be said first. I would rather take my time and absorb a world slowly than slice through it quickly. Not everybody has this preference, I know, and what people like is what they like.Robert Jordan gives us a richly detailed world to soak in, but it still does not feel like sloggish reading. So far, so good. Character development is very good and represents a nice continuation of 'Eye of the World.' While I liked EotW, I was more connected with the characters after 'The Great Hunt.' The world is richly detailed and characters have been given more depth. There is some reward at the end for those who have been faithfully moving through the story. There is some torture, but it is described only mildly. This is a relief after reading some of Terry Goodkind's graphic torture description. In fact, when I realized they were using a collar to control and cause pain, I had a mini-learned-Goodkind-fear response. (Hats off to Goodkind for that, I guess). However, Jordan is a little more gentle with the reader. Thanks Robert. As in most fantasy stories, there is some derivation. However, these are not needless and Jordan has created his own world. I have enjoyed these books and will read the rest of the series. In fact, the Dragon Reborn is ordered and should arrive today. Overall, this is a great and enveloping story that is perfect for the fantasy fan and is accpetable for younger readers (who have the necessary reading skills).
