Upon finishing Gorge RR Martins "A Song of Ice and Fire" a friend recommended that I read one of the all-time classics of the fantasy genera, The Wheel of Time. Upon reading up on the series, and looking up the reviews for the first book, I was very much intrigued. By all accounts it seemed to take what were obviously omissions in the world Tolkien created and create a world that focused on these topics (such as industry, farming, technology, etc) to a much greater degree. However, upon …

I was browsing through a shop that sold previously-owned books when a slim paperback entitled: "From The Two Rivers" by Robert Jordan caught my eye.  Perfect!  A short  but hopefully entertaining read.        The joke was on me.  Little did I know that it was just part one of "The Eye of the World" by the same author, and after finishing it...  you guessed it.  Like Claudia from Anne Rice's Interview with the Vampire, …
