Title: Showed promise, but failed to deliver
Review: I read Terry Goodkind's Sword of Truth series before I discovered all the positive reviews about Mr. Jordan's Wheel of Time set and decided to give it a try. Actually, I didn't really have much of a problem with the characters; they're all pretty standard fantasy conventions. What I had a problem with is the way that the book just plods along. I got up to page 448 and finally gave up -- it just wasn't worth the effort to continue. And I certainly couldn't see myself suffering through another seven books of the same. This is not a new story -- Tolkien did it, as have Eddings and Goodkind, but The Eye of the World simply says and does too little within the 800+ pages the reader is asked to wade through.
