The Eye of the World

Wow...

Here's the deal. Every once in a while, the first book of a series leaves so much of the plot clonging to the elipses following the “to be continued...” promise. (I typically imagine an author/publisher team laughing maniacally when deciding where to pause my hopes and dreams) This book, however, is a complete story. That was the best part of this experience.

Epic fantasy is new-ish to me but this book really was incredible. I am, once again, overjoyed by the discovery of this genre in my life. And, I can't believe the series is as long as it is.
