Wheel of Time Premium Boxed Set V

Praise for Robert Jordan and The Wheel of Time(R) His huge, ambitious Wheel of Time series helped redefine the genre. --George R. R. Martin, author of A Game of Thrones Anyone who's writing epic of secondary world fantasy knows Robert Jordan isn't just a part of the landscape, he's a monolith within the landscape. --Patrick Rothfuss, author of the Kingkiller Chronicle series The Eye of the World was a turning point in my life. I read, I enjoyed. (Then continued on to write my larger fantasy novels.) --Robin Hobb, author of the award-winning Realm of the Elderlings series Robert Jordan's work has been a formative influence and an inspiration for a generation of fantasy writers. --Brent Weeks, New York Times bestselling author of The Way of Shadows Jordan's writing is so amazing! The characterization, the attention to detail! --Clint McElroy, co-creator of the #1 podcast The Adventure Zone [Robert Jordan's] impact on the place of fantasy in the culture is colossal... He brought innumerable readers to fantasy. He became the New York Times bestseller list face of fantasy. --Guy Gavriel Kay, author of A Brightness Long Ago Robert Jordan was a giant of fiction whose words helped a whole generation of fantasy writers, including myself, find our true voices. I thanked him then, but I didn't thank him enough. --Peter V. Brett, internationally bestselling author of The Demon Cycle series I don't know anybody who's been as formative in crafting me as a writer as [Robert Jordan], and for that I will be forever grateful. --Tochi Onyebuchi, author of Riot Baby and War Girls I've mostly never been involved in any particular fandom, the one exception of course was The Wheel of Time. --Marie Brennan, author of the Memoirs of Lady Trent series I owe Robert Jordan so much. Without him, modern fantasy would be bereft of the expansive, deep worlds and the giant casts which I love so dearly. It's not often I can look at another author and say: that person paved my way. But such is exactly the case with Jordan. --Jenn Lyons, author of The Ruin of Kings You can't talk about epic fantasy without acknowledging the titanic influence Robert Jordan has had on the genre. --Jason Denzel, author of Mystic and founder of Dragonmount.com Jordan has come to dominate the world Tolkien began to reveal. --The New York Times The Wheel of Time [is] rapidly becoming the definitive American fantasy saga. It is a fantasy tale seldom equaled and still less often surpassed in English. --Chicago Sun-Times Hard to put down for even a moment. A fittingly epic conclusion to a fantasy series that many consider one of the best of all time. --San Francisco Book Review The most ambitious American fantasy saga [may] also be the finest. Rich in detail and his plot is rich in incident. Impressive work, and highly recommended. --Booklist Recalls the work of Tolkien. --Publishers Weekly This richly detailed fantasy presents fully realized, complex adventure. Recommended. --Library Journal Jordan has come to dominate the world that Tolkien began to reveal. --The New York Times Jordan is able to take ... familiar elements and make them his own, in a powerful novel of wide and complex scope. Open religious and political conflicts add a gritty realism, while the cities and courts provide plenty of drama and splendor. Women have a stronger role than in Tolkien.... Each character in this large cast remains distinct.... Their adventures are varied, and exciting.... The Eye of the World stands alone as a fantasy epic. --Locus Robert Jordan has created a fantasy world as tangible and credible as history. He has a fine eye for detail and a vivid sense of drama. --Morgan Llewelyn Robert Jordan's The Eye of the World proves that there's still plenty of life in the ancient tradition of epic fantasy. Jordan has a powerful vision of good and evil-- but what strikes me as most pleasurable about The Eye of the World is all the fascinating people moving through a rich and interesting world. --Orson Scott Card Jordan's world is rich in detail and his plot is rich in incident. Impressive work, and highly recommended. --ALA Booklist
