I really enjoyed this book series

4 estrellas

What a great book. I was a bit reserved after having watched the tv show and wasn’t sure if I should try the book series. I am glad that I did. Much better than the show—somehow I am more drawn into the world than I was when just watching the screen. I will definitely continue with this series. The mixture of magic, fantasy and medieval-like lands is exactly what I like. Really excited to see what the next book is about!

Review of 'The Eye of the World' on 'Goodreads'

3 estrellas

Comienza como LOTR. Para armar un poco lo que es el mundo, luego se convierte en su propia historia. Los personajes son identificables y únicos. Puedes ver la relación entre ellos y las nuevas relaciones que se construyen a lo largo de sus historias. Algunas partes son mucho de correr/ caminar, en cuanto te avientan mucha historia y luego de la nada se siente lento el progreso de la historia. En si es la primera parte de toda una saga.
