Full Title: New Spring; The Novel; The Wheel of Time; In The Beginning

Series: Pre-Book 1 of The Wheel Of Time

Rating: 5/5

Writing Style: Small, focused, great story.

Summary: A regular fantasy adventure series; quests, heroes, villains, magic.

Comments: No suggestions for this book, it was great. Maybe the audience of today can handle a cooler story than those written in the early 90′s. Or maybe it is because the book is about a third of the size of his usual novels. So all the average-to-good extras were chopped out to leave only the absolute best parts. I can definitely see how new readers to this series could start with this book, then be willing to start the series. 11 massive novels is daunting. Dune like.

I think people like the early young hero stories better anyways, when a hero is wimpy and barely discovering their powers. By book 11 everyone has done too much for there to be any challenge.
