I see why this series is so beloved to many people I really liked the start of a great series. I really liked the characters especially the main ones Rand, Mat, Perrin, Nynaeve, Egwene and lastly Moraine. I found each and every character to be uniquely interesting and blend well with the well written world they live in. I loved the world that the characters live in a great start to an amazingly well built world that I will be revisiting sometime in the future. I really liked the plot it started off slow but built up pretty quickly after the village was attacked and they had to leave. I really liked how the story was told and the things that are told along the way. So overall I loved this book looking forward to reading more.
