The Eye of the World: The Graphic Novel, Volume One by Chuck Dixon, Robert Jordan, Chase Conley
3.0
Years ago, I attempted to read The Eye of the World, the first book in the Wheel of Time series. I got past the two prologues and halfway through the first chapter before I gave up, but I'm not sure if I can remember exactly why I put the book down. Maybe I found it boring, maybe I wasn't ready to commit to a 14-book series. This was before my time on Goodreads, so unfortunately there's no review to remind me of what I was thinking.
In any case, I stumbled across the first volume of the graphic novel adaptation of The Eye of the World on BookOutlet for a pretty incredible price, and I thought I'd give the series another go in graphic novel format, which can often be a lot easier to get through. And I was right! I think this served as a great introduction to the world of The Wheel of Time; I can already feel how absolutely epic and magical and very Classic Fantasy this book is.
I will say that I'm not at all a fan of the art style, which makes a lot of characters look exactly the same, but I think this has convinced me to give The Wheel of Time another shot...at some point. Starting a 14-book series where every book is over 500 pages is scary, y'all! But in any case, I'm happy this graphic novel has at least gotten me marginally familiar with this world and its characters.
