Wheel of Time Premium Boxed Set I: Books 1-3 (The Eye of the World, The Great Hunt, The Dragon Reborn)

Good read.

Arrived on time even though it was right before the holiday. The giftee loves them!

Really enjoyed the read!I love reading and Robert Jordan did not disappoint. It was my first time through the series so it was fun to meet the characters and learn about the world that the author created. His descriptions are vivid and his characters are relatively relatable. Sometimes the world building was a little too much but in the first three books it doesn’t take away from the plot too much. I’m on the 9th book currently and the descriptions of the world are getting long and unhelpful when not downright irritating.The books themselves are pretty flimsy paperbacks as expected. They crease down the spine while reading and the creases stay. The pages themselves had a couple misprints where the actual text was almost printed off the page and in a couple cases I missed a few words. Not sure if that is just a copy I received or if it is something others encountered.I would not let this boon get anywhere near water as I don’t think it would recover ever lolThe series is a good one and I would recommend it to any fellow fantasy reader. Comparable to LOTR.

Good story

I got these for my son. It’s an economical way ordering the sets by box.

I've so far only finished the first book, after 20 years of picking it up and putting it down, and loved it. So the series itself gets 5 stars. I find the "Now a series on Prime!" stickers egregious though, especially since they're not stickers and are actually printed on the (boring, compared to the early editions) covers. I actually took a black sharpie and drew over them; I would rather have a mysterious black circle on these books than an advertisement for a tv show.

I was hesitant to start such a long series, but I heard so many good things I decided to jump in and give it a try. I have now read the first three books and bought the next three, although not in the same format! These books were very unwieldy to read and hard on my arthritic hands. I bought the new ones on my kindle. If you want the actual book I would advise the large -size paperbacks or the hardcovers if you can afford them. That aside, I did really enjoy these books. Jordan writes with a lot of character development which I love. He also is quite descriptive in general, but I also enjoy that. Others, however, might find him a tad slow to read. Having only read three so far, I'm not an expert on this series, but I have enjoyed getting to know the characters and their motivations. I like his writing style and definitely am interested in what is happening with our little group (which does keep getting bigger as we go along). I can't wait to start the next book, and this lockdown we are in right now has certainly helped me have the time to read! That's the ONLY positive thing about the whole situation I see. Happy reading!

It's the first 3 of the series. My husband has dementia and in a moment of clarity he wanted to reread the series. He sadly discovered that the box that holds them is not beverage proof. But the books are. There are so many pages the books were not damaged at all. I can't review the series. I read the first 3 and said I had had enough. My 3 kids told me the the story really starts in book 4. Each book is over 1,000 pages. This is not a simple read.
