Dragonsteel has pulled out all the stops for The Eye of the World. The genuine Italian leather is striking in bright red, with exquisite pressing and gilding layered with symbolism from the Wheel of Time. The endpapers show off the original cover art, contrasting the red and gold exterior with the familiar midnight blue of Darrel K. Sweet’s 1990 epic fantasy painting.

Brandon Sanderson and The Eye of the World

BRANDON: Why should you read the Wheel of Time? Well, the Wheel of Time is excellently written. Robert Jordan’s mastery of prose is unparalleled in writing. I think he’s one of the best with viewpoint and with just descriptions that we have.The Wheel of Time feels kind of luxurious in its writing compared to a lot of contemporary sci-fi/fantasy. There’s just a feel to them that I really like that you might enjoy as well.
