Amazon has preorders for it for like 20 dollars.They're also selling the hardcover at 35 dollars instead of the usual 25-28 you see. Pretty shitty.
That's because ebooks do not count towards NY best seller list, which is complete bullshitA big FUCK YOU to the book publisher for delaying the ebook until several months after the hardcover release. FUCK YOU!!!!
If I remember right, Jordan always said he made the first hundred pages or so similar to Tolkien to give readers a familiar setting. It does get better. I didn't really like it until they hit shadar logoth.The writing in the Eye of the World is difficult to read. It reminds me of all the bad qualities of Tolkien. Other than Rand, the names are bland and uninteresting. Not seeing a lot of potential in this series so far.
Probably my favorite of these snippets so far.Day #35:
I AM THE ONLY HONESTY YOUR WORLD HAS EVER KNOWN.
Happy New Year!?
What happens to Rand in book 6 guarantees that he will never, ever whine again.At the risk of being pummelled...I made it into book 5, and Rand was being such a whiny little fuck I just couldn't keep going. He was sooooo irritating, I got through half the book, then put it on the shelf never to be reopened.
