about a year ago a friend lend me a copy of Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time book 4, The Shadow Rising. i have seen copies of this particular series for years now but since the book is really thick, i was not all that interested to follow the titles one after the other. in fact, a cousin who is an avid fan of the series had been telling me to go and read since according to him its a really cool read. well, having nothing else to read at that time, i read my friend's copy. and i only read until about a quarter of the thick book.
i did not finish the book not because i did not like it but simply because i liked the world that it introduced to me so much that i never wanted to experience it like a stranger suddenly thrust in an unknown world that would only confuse me and not allow me to get the most of my visit.
at this time, there are already 13 books in the series if we include the prequel, Robert Jordan wrote. so what i did is begin my quest for all the titles and promised myself not to read a single one until i have all available titles.
it took me 6 months to complete the first thirteen books and as soon as i was able to purchase the last one i started my journey to the land of Aes Sedais and the Dragon Reborn.
so far, i have finished the prequel and is halfway through the first title.
in the Wheel of Time, Robert Jordan has created a whole history of intrigue, suspense, adventure and magic that has captured my fancy since the very first time i read a part of that fourth book. not only will you feel the tension of each of the seemingly real characters but you get to understand all that pushes them to do the mounting action upon action that propels the reader to move on from one page to the next.
after finishing New Spring, i feel the magic of Jordan's world grip me. immediately, i grabbed the first official book of the series and continue my journey this time in the company of the main characters that will show me why we need to at least in our lifetime share in the intricately interwoven tale that could have been reflection of our very own.
