The Eye of the World by Robert Jordan
3.75
I had fun!
The last 150 pages were grueling, but they always are for me, in every book.
There's definitely inspiration drawn from lotr; not is not to say wot is bad - there are simply things that aren't very original. There are other flaws as well - I didn't really get a good grasp at characters other than Rand, and there was really no explanation as to what the Eye was or why they needed to find it - at some point Moiraine just told everybody "ok we've got to find the Eye" and that was all we learn before we reach it.
The magic system is quite intriguing, and I'm fond of our characters (especially of Rand babygirl call me). I think all follow through into the next few books after a short break
