Sagan om drakens återkomst

The eye of the world
Bok av Robert Jordan
Rand al'Thor är Draken återfödd. Motvilligt har han insett detta. Han är fylld förtvivlan inför sitt öde och han fruktar att detta ska bli sina vänners undergång och hela världens. Ingen kan ge honom kunskap om de krafter han besitter och han flyr för att möta sitt öde där ingen han älskar kan komma till skada. Översättning Ylva Spångberg.
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.
