I read The Eye of the World, but I couldn't progress to the next one. To me, it felt like a slog to get to the last page. Now, don't get me wrong, I WANTED to like it, I just never connected to it, never felt invested in it. Its been a few years and I can't put my finger on it, but it seems to me that the balance was weighted more towards slow reveals and I spent a lot of time wondering what was going on. I do not need things handed to me on a platter and I love epic arc's and understand that important reveals should unfold as the story progresses, but that has to be balanced with exposition. I remember more than a few occasions, thinking "Wait, what?" and having to flip back to try and figure out if I had missed anything.
I will probably give it another tumble and see if i think it is any better, it has been on my mind to read it again. I am in the middle of Sanderson''s Stormlight Archive now, and have Mistborn queued up. Sanderson was actually recommended to me in a Wheel Of Time Thread earlier in the year.
