Recommended.<br>Copyright 1990 Reed Business Information, Inc. </p><h3>Review</h3><p>"Jordan has come to dominate the world that Tolkien began to reveal."--_The New York Times_ </p><p>"Jordan is able to take ... familiar elements and make them his own, in a powerful novel of wide and complex scope. Open religious and political conflicts add a gritty realism, while the cities and courts provide plenty of drama and splendor. Women have a stronger role than in Tolkien.... Each character in this large cast remains distinct.... Their adventures are varied, and exciting.... <em>The Eye of the World</em> stands alone as a fantasy epic."--_Locus_ </p><p>"Robert Jordan has created a fantasy world as tangible and credible as history. He has a fine eye for detail and a vivid sense of drama."--Morgan Llewelyn </p><p>"Robert Jordan's <em>The Eye of the World</em> proves that there's still plenty of life in the ancient tradition of epic fantasy. Jordan has a powerful vision of good and evil-- but what strikes me as most pleasurable about <em>The Eye of the World</em> is all the fascinating people moving through a rich and interesting world."--Orson Scott Card </p><p>"Jordan's world is rich in detail and his plot is rich in incident. Impressive work, and highly recommended."--_ALA Booklist_ </p></div> Tor Fantasy CBUSCEHOL02TE907 9780812511819 eng Fiction Fantasy General Science Fiction Fantasy fiction Monsters Epic Rand; Al'Thor (Fictitious Character) Rand Al'Thor (Fictitious Character) Fantasy ; American Prophecies (Occultism) Good and Evil Power (Social Sciences)
