It takes a certain brilliance to breathe life into a world, to make its lands and people and cultures memorable, unique. Creating histories and a sense of authenticity, not for just a region, but a planet, takes dedication. But its a bit of magic I think that crafts the best characters, those whose lives and fates seem for a time intertwined with your own. Their courage, fears, triumphs, decisions and fates reflected in your own hopes for them.

The Eye of the World is a triumph of the human spirit. It is a fantastical tale that takes young village boys out into the world after their home is attacked and sets them on a journey of destiny. But they are far from in control – being led by a mysterious sorceress – and they must outrun a looming shadow the spreads across the world.  They are not prepared for what awaits them and they survive one peril only to encounter another. The action is amazing, often rising unexpectedly, and keeps the reader guessing when and if they’ll make it.

These characters change remarkably over the course of the journey. They must do what no one else can to save the world, but the decisions don’t come easily and that makes the characters very relatable and believable.

Listen in to the conclusion of The Eye of the World on the REIGN of Books and prepare for an epic finish.

Book Trailer – The Eye of the World pt.2

The wheel weaves as the wheel wills in the Eye of the World. As the journey continues, you’ll encounter creepy abandoned cities, play sharks and minnows with some Trollocs, and get freaked out by the Starks’ great, great granddaddy. (He could totally take the Lannisters.) Coming up on the REIGN of Books……

Seven travelers have set out from The Two Rivers, crossing a mysterious countryside pursued relentlessly by the Dark One’s forces from the sky and land….but not on water…… Man, rivers save those guys every time. Trollocs and Dark Riders are such babies when they get wet.

This episode: Chapters 19-30.

 

 

Listen to Episode: 

Savagely pursued. Relentlessly hunted. At the brink of doom and despair. Perrin and Egwene take the starring role midway through The Eye of the World. An unlikely ally rescues them in the wild and pulls them ahead of the dark forces spies. This is one of the most unnerving parts of the book because….you….feel….every….heart-pounding….muscle-aching….gut-wrenching….eye-popping…. moment. The danger is more dire than they know, and evil lurks around every corner.

We get heaping layers of epic storytelling with clues about the Blight, the Aeilman, and The Eye of the World. For more, listen in to this episode of the REIGN.

“Book Trailer”…it’s totally funny

REIGN of Books presents the Wheel of Time Series by Robert Jordan (and that new guy), starting May 17.

Listen to the REIGN’s introduction of the epic Wheel of Time series, Book 1:

BOOK TRAILER: WOT – Eye of the World, part1 (4:35 minutes)

Come Explore a World where “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 comes again……”

Wait, are you saying that these ages repeat themselves and heroes are reborn and keep fighting the same battles against the forces of darkness for all eternity?

Weeell, that’s our guess based off the prologue…..listen to the podcast Saturday for our full breakdown of Chapters 1-18.
