I remember first reading the Eye of the World and for me it still is the greatest book in the series; the meeting at the eye, with Aginor calling down curses upon Rand, was perhaps the greatest moment in fantasy literature yet written. It was a series that basically changed not only the way that authors wrote fantasy but also the way readers read fantasy. RJ as any fan would know him was terrific in the use using descriptive, sometimes captivating wordings in his writings. I will also say that RJ payed homage to the esoteric, if nothing else his story offered to any reader one simple technique, the flame and the void. Something I know that any seeker of knowledge should be able to acknowledge as a road worthy of travel.

Unfortunately RJ passed by improbable happenstance before finishing a truly remarkable tale. With what notes were left it was passed along to Brandon Sanderson who did an admirable job of completing a task that very, very few could have hoped to even half-properly resolve. The ending wasn't amazing, but it was an ending and I know for sure, is appreciated.

I for one was very glad to enjoy his works and my personal favorite of the series was the second book which I thought was the most complete and gripping with the introduction of some of the great legendary villains and also a fantastic ending.

I love books and even though I've always been interested in a lot of fantasy books for some reason I've never read through any of this writer's books. Thanks for the heads up, I'll check them after finishing the one I'm reading right now.
