And so ends the Pilot of The Wheel of Time. An overlong book crammed to the brim with the worldbuilding, with some clumsy writing and uneven pacing.

The cast and journey was enjoyable and the world is interesting the further away it moves from the obvious Tolkien copying. What was to like was scattered out across the book leading to an interesting ending, if not necessarily satisfying. Overall, I enjoyed it but it's too long by around 200 pages. Looking forward to The Great Hunt, though!
