"She stopped wanting to hear stories from the grownups, though she would have liked to hear a gleeman, but she still liked to read of distant lands with strange ways, and dreamed of seeing them. The boys stopped wanting stories, too. She did not think they even read very much. They all grew older, thinking their world would never change, and many of those stories faded to fond memories while others were forgotten, or half so..."
A fitting start to the massive epic that is The Wheel of Time Series from Robert Jordan, with the help of Brandon Sanderson later on. A fun little prologue that gives some more characterization to our key characters, mostly Egwene here, and a good look at a day in the life in Two Rivers.

Well, the ravens were there at the start and nine year old Egwene was that one who noticed. Another window through which we readers can see what life was like at the Two Rivers. Little did they know that their idyllic way of life would change so drastically.

Tendría que haber esperado a leerme este prólogo después de acabar todos los libros para llorar aún más fuerte, pero cuando me dio por abrir The eye of the world y empecé a ver que había un capítulo nuevo en él me enganchó tanto que no pude parar. Ya desde el principio se puede predecir todo lo que está pasando en un futuro, sobre todo cómo Egwene acaba siendo la Sede Amyrlin y manejando a todos a su alrededor. Me dio muchísima paz ver cómo era todo en Dos Ríos antes de que todo empezara a ir mal, me he imaginado el paisaje más bonito de todos, las fiestas preciosas y todo lo que pasaba a la perfección, está tan bien escrito y lo leí en tan buen momento que no me arrepiento de haberme adelantado. Lo leeré de nuevo cuando retome la saga entera porque me h dado justo en el corazón

This was an enjoyable prologue to The Eye of the World, which didn’t exist when I first read the book, literally ages ago. Though the book is overlong, I do think it added some solid backstory.
