Book cover: The Eye of the World
The Wheel of Time turns and Ages come and go, leaving memories that become legend. Legend fades to myth, and even myth is long forgotten when the Age that gave it birth returns again. In the Third Age, an Age of Prophecy, the World and Time themselves hang in the balance. What was, what will be, and what is, may yet fall under the Shadow. The first book in The Wheel of Time (The Eye of the World) starts out in the peaceful village of Emond's Field. The villagers pay little attention to rumours of war in the western lands until a brutal attack by Trollocs, troll-like minions of the Dark One, forces three young men to confront a destiny which has its origins in the time known as The Breaking of the World.

Is A Game of Thrones good?

This is an excellent book series. It is sadly not finished jet, and it will probably take decades before it is finished, unless the author gets his finger out of his ass. But it is worth to wait on books of this superb quality.

Why is A Game of Thrones recommended?

Both are huge complex fantasy series and are widely popular among fantasy readers. A Song of Ice and Fire has less direct use of magic and it is harder to say who is the main characters, it follows so many.

Is Wizard's First Rule good?

I remember that I really liked The Sword of Truth. I guess i still do. I have read that some people complain about bad writing, that might be true, but I am very seldom affected by bad writing. I am more interesting in story and characters, and that it has. This book series is absolutely worth a try... if you have time for 11+ books with about 700 pages each.

Why is Wizard's First Rule recommended?

Both are long stories following a few people. Magic, evil enemies, magical swords and so on. Sword of Truth and Wheel og time both have a very similar feel to them.

Is Babylon 5 good?

I can't understand why Sheldon Coper hates Babylon 5, it's an absolute terrific series. So much tension and drama between the different sides. A complex and excellent show. I guess one thing that makes it so great is that this is a five season long tale. All the seasons were planned out to make one story before they started producing it. I wish more series could try that.

Why is Babylon 5 recommended?

Wheel of Time might be fantasy and Babylon 5 might be science fiction, but both have a long complex political storyline.
