The Wheel of Time first starts out as a very bearable yet obvious rip off of Lord of the Rings.. mixed with a little Eragon. Small town, simple people, no one really believes in the “Far out”. Half way through the first book, it spreads it’s wings and begins to become it’s own world as the inevitable J.R.R Tolkien similarities fade away. It truly becomes amazing.
