re: #298 JasonA

I was right!

Funny thing, I started reading Eye of the World years ago. I got half way through it and put it down because it seemed to derive too much from Tolkien. I recently read of an interview with Jordan where he claims that was intentional because he didn’t think people would like it if it wasn’t. Apparently it quickly starts being unique right around where I put it down. I might have to give it another shot.

Once more of the Foresaken get into play and the Seanchan arrive, it really picks up, then we get the Aiel and the Ashaman later on.
