The Wheel of Time Reread: Book 5 - The Fires of Heaven
We’re done with book five, and we’re really getting into the initial upward curve of the series. However, while The Fires of Heaven keeps up the pace and doesn’t have any significant issues, unlike The Shadow Rising I don’t think there are any significant stand out series highlight moments here. Until the end, that is.
The Wheel of Time Reread: Book 2 - The Great Hunt
I was pleasantly surprised by The Great Hunt. For some reason, I recalled this one being one of the weaker books in the series. Looking at it now, I think I thought this was because, in many ways, the plot is a reflection of the first book. But this time around, I found a lot better than I remembered it.
Wheel of Time Re-read: Book 1 - The Eye of the World
I first read The Eye of the World by the pool in a hotel in Spain, having picked it up on a whim from the airport bookshop. If I remember correctly, the quote on the front cover said something along the lines of it being better than Tolkien. So I figured, if I were to be able to properly mock such a boastful claim, I needed to have read the book in question. When I got home, I immediately ordered Book Two.
