Soon to be an original series starring Rosamund Pike as Moiraine!
The first novel in Robert Jordan's #1 New York Times bestselling epic fantasy series, The Wheel of Time .
The Wheel of Time turns and Ages come and pass, leaving memories that become legend. Legend fades to myth, and even myth is long forgotten when the Age that gave it birth returns again. What was, what will be, and what is, may yet fall under the Shadow.
When The Two Rivers is attacked by Trollocs?a savage tribe of half-men, half-beasts?five villagers flee that night into a world they barely imagined, with new dangers waiting in the shadows and in the light.
Since its debut in 1990, The Wheel of Time has captivated millions of readers around the globe with its scope, originality, and compelling characters. The last six books in series were all instant #1 New York Times bestsellers, and The Eye of the World was named one of America's best-loved novels by PBS's The Great American Read.

I finished it! And it was amazing! On an enjoyment leve this is a easy five star read, but when I put it through my CAWPILE it came out as a four star. A very high four star.
This was just ... amazing. I'm new to adult fantasy in the sense of these epic long series. But I started to read this and was blown away. It don't know how Jordan could make this beast of a book feel like it was a 300 pages. The pacing was just amazing, something happened all the time and small reveals came in every other chapter. The chapters weren't even that long of 20+ pages (some of course was).
The magic system was so interesting and I found myself questioning what was gonna happen and what will happen in later books. I shipped characters and smiled so fucking hard when they did something and said something to one another.
As for some parts, like the long historical lessons about some war I didn't even can remember any name of, I can admit that I skimmed through those. Even if it was of value to read, I wouldn't remember it either way if it came up in some conversation again.
Even though it is a book with a large cast of characters, and with characters that you get small glimpses of that later appear again, Jordan is fantastic to summarize who that person is. If you want to try to read more adult fantasy with a very cool magic system (where women are in power), you should check this out!
I've already purchased the two next book in this series and I can't wait to dive in to it even more.
