The Wheel of Time Box Set 1: Books 1-3 (The Eye of the World, The Great Hunt, The Dragon Reborn) (Wheel of Time Box Sets) Paperback – 2 Dec. 2021

Great book series

Haven't read the books yet, they were a gift. Watched all seasons, fantastic. The came well packaged and had no damages. Would recommend if you like fantasy.

Compulsive. Each book is the size of 4 normal books and I’m now on the 6th. Can highly recommend, though the central premise that the anti-creator is trapped in a hole in the corner of a continent and the dozen small countries that are found there have single handed kept him in his hole for thousands of years whilst the rest of the continent, world, galaxy, universe carries on its normal life oblivious and unaffected by the anti-creator struck me today after 6000 pages as a little odd; maybe it will be explained in the later books.

Years ago I foolishly lent my copies of these books to a friend, and never got them back. I liked these new bindings, so decided to replace them. The idea of a box set was nice, so I ordered those.Bearing in mind that the paperbacks are £7 each, the price is about right (slightly more, about 45p, for set 1, £1.01 less for set 2, £5.39 more for set 3). I didn't mind paying slightly more for the fancy box.However, the boxes are not fancy. They are nicely printed, and attractive, but very thin cardboard, only slightly thicker than a cereal packet. Mine came in good condition, but I can see how others have received damaged versions. The illustration suggests that they would be much sturdier or thicker than that.Books 2 and 3 have the annoying "Now a major new series on Amazon Prime" logo on the front, but thankfully books 1, 4, 5, and 6 don't (this is one of my pet hates).They have changed the internal layout, presumably to reduce page count and standardise the thickness of the books (unlike my original set which got thicker as they went along, these are all roughly the same) by continuing the following chapter directly after the last sentence of the previous, rather than starting a new page. I don't have a problem with that but some might.I've flicked through and haven't noticed any of the missing pages or text being cut off as in some photographs.

I actually ordered the entire set at one go as a present for the wife. She had always wanted to read them, had gotten great reviews from friends who have read them, but was unsure of watching the TV show before reading them so got them all ordered. The set itself with the others look really good stacked side by side on the shelf. The paper quality and print is standard but very good.Only issue (which is more personal than quality) is the print is quite small so she has had to limit herself to how much she reads at a time as it was causing headaches (others have said the same so may not be just her)

Excellent Service and value for money.

Being a new mum I struggled to find time to sit and read the books continuously, however I discovered the Audiobooks and I've become addicted to the series through them. She THE BEST narrator I've ever come across all the characters came to life and I was in the edge of my seat the whole time. If you are struggling with the book get the audiobooksor even relive the books through the audiobooks, you won't regret it.

Enjoyable read
