I just read Eye Of The World / Wheel Of Time I and I don't get the hype that this fantasy series receives at all. A lot of it seems to be heavily borrowed from Eddings' Belgariad saga (which is my favorite fantasy series). Yes, Jordan has a much more sophisticated writing style and I guess a bigger vocabulary. But the pace, his plotting, his story-writing ability kinda sucked in the first book. Does it get better with the next couple of books?
