It has begun!!! Summary: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/nJtyjalzvLCXm5c.html Get Eye Of The World here: amzn.to/3v1pi49 If you would also like me to format there any differently lemme know! Feedback is always welcome 🙏

That is a lot of cat hair. But the questions is, "Why are you at Pip's desk?"

Daniel: “They’re just kids! They’re like 18!” Me, an 18 year old who has no idea what I’m doing: Fair

"Every two weeks, I will be doing a Friday review of another Wheel of Time book." Me, taking a month to read each book:

"They marched longer than friends could hope and enemies could fear", one of my favorites lines ever. God I wish I could write like that.

Can't wait for this channel to blow tf up when the show is out

IMO The "homeless Rand Matt" subplot it's one of the most important ones in the series. For me the subplot showed the fact that anyone can be a darklfriend. And it just doesn't just show it to the reader, it shows it to Rand (Matt forgets that whole journey) which has an effect on Rand's development and in his eventual paranoia.

My favorite thing about EOTW was the sense of danger present the entire time. They couldn’t stop to relax for even a little too long without risking death.

The end of EOTW always reminded me of a pilot episode of a series where the creators didn't know if it was gonna be picked up so they sort of wrote an ending to it, but it wasn't REALLY supposed to be the ending ... just how it makes me feel. Still love it

FINALLY SOME LOIAL APPRECIATION! HE CONSISTENTLY PUTS THE BIGGEST SMILE ON MY FACE

Bold of you to asume I will not read book 1 and 2 in the time it takes you to show off your “Eye of the world” editions

I think Mat and Rand homeless was one of the greatest arcs of all time actually. I absolutely loved it 🤫

Finished Eye for the 1st time last month. Oddly enough, Moiraine struck me as the beam of kindness in the dark world that WoT is set in, where even the "good" characters are quite often selfish and mean. In contrast to the reputation the Aes Sedai hold, you can see Moiraine cares about the kids: she wishes them well, it's not only because of what they represent on the bigger spectrum for the Wheel. She has tremendous empathy and a gentle way towards the Fielders and people in general, all behind that intimidating and sometimes stern figure (you can see that with Nynaeve especially). She is, for me, a kind and gentle figure who sometimes struggles on account of "caring too much".

"Nyneve stalks off as if to walk through a stone wall and leave a large hole." God I love her

I'm more excited for Daniel watching it than I am for the show to come out. I can just picture him hugging a pillow and giddy with excitement as his girlfriend and cat both roll their eyes in the background.

Im on dragon reborn now, but Moiraine, in the eye of the world especially, has so much weight and presence in the page you feel like when she says something you should listen very carefully bc she is the wizard trope here but done really well. When she just walks into the scene you feel her presence and three books in only like Siuan has that sort of presence in the page.

I LOVED Moiraine when I read the book for the first time. She was this mysterious, shot-heighted woman who seems to appear more imposing and powerful than any of the band.

I think my favorite nugget from Eye of the World is when Moriane is explaining the process of someone touching the one power to Nynaeve. While the very same thing is happening to Rand across the world. Some of the best foreshadowing as well with all the dreams as well as with Min.

Man did I distrust moiraine first time. I honestly thought she was going to turn out to be some kind of bounty hunter looking for boys that can channel. Up untill the innkeeper in caemlin said he knew her and Lan did I finally partially trust her

0:30 "I was in a Barnes and Noble and I liked blue so that's how I started my Wheel of Time Journey" WHAT?!?!

I f*cking love Nynaeve. I really dont understand why everyone having hard time to love her, she is amazing. :(

I'm caught up on the read-along. Moiraine and Lan are me favorites so far. My first impression on the first book was general enjoyment, but the constant mistrust and hiding of dreams for her began to wear slightly tiring after everything she had done for them. Being raised to not trust the White Tower accounts for some of it, but being THAT stubborn to not make an exception for someone who is proving themselves, even with an agenda.

"Trollocs were evolving, and Rand single-handedly set them back." Ooooh, yessss, the hottest of the hot takes. Leave it to a goblin to empathise with the trollocs. On a less joke-y note, though, I really like your take on Moiraine near the end of the video. Particularly the parts pertaining to future spoilers. I won't be able to read along (no time, too much uni :'[ ), but I'm really looking forward to watching future videos in this series.

'Homeless Rand & Mat' was my favourite section of the book. The ending confused the hell out of me though!

14:20 "Logaine sees Rand at all that distance and just starts losing it" Oh no! I thought Logaine was laughing at the townspeople howling with animal hatred/fear, didn't know he saw Rand. hm

I only read Eye of the World so far so I have a lot to catch up on 😂 I really liked the prologue even the first time reading it. It really intrigued me.

That's crazy that you got the voice actors of your favorite series, from your first read through to narrate your book!

I believe that voice at the end is Lews Therin. I think it forshadows when Lews Therin starts thinking through Rand and talking through him.

I've come back after finishing EotW! I was planning to pick up the series eventually, but I left this video pre-spoilers and dove straight into the audiobook and e-book! (Thank you so much for convincing me to do this, by the way, if you see this!!) Being totally new to this series and having just read the first book, to me Moiraine seems like she's had an insane amount of responsibility thrust upon her (or maybe has seen the need for someone to accept this responsibility and stepped the feck up), but she's competent and badass and knew more or less what she was getting into, and now she's having to make decisions she doesn't want to have to make, and being yelled at by people who couldn't possibly understand. Honestly, after working for many years in customer service management I relate HARD to my interpretation of Moiraine lmao. I did start to question her motives when we saw homeless Mat and Rand, because I hadn't understood until then what a 'dark friend' was. Once I realized they're just normal looking people and they could be anyone, I sort of questioned her because so many other characters were uneasy and untrusting with her. Pretty quickly though I fell back to my previous understanding. Can't wait to binge the series along with these videos!! My first time ever hearing Michael and Kate narrate was with Breach of Peace, and I was ecstatic to see they narrate WoT because I had fallen in love with their narration of Khlid, Sam and Chapman!! So, so hyped for everything here!!

You know you truly love something when you can reexperiece it multiple times, sometimes in a row, talk about and gush over it at length, never getting bored with it, and it is never, ever enough.

Holy shit, literally brought eye of the world yesterday from Waterstones, coincidence, I THINK NOT!

Just finished the book this week! Aside from being an amazing first book in a series that (hopefully) sets up amazing things, my favorite ongoing thing in the book is Rand and Perrin's inner monologue where they both think "I wish I could talk to girls like the the other can", meanwhile they both suck at it lmao

Just finished the first book and Moiraine is my favorite character so far. She came across as this really wise and badass character and her presence never fails to bring me so much relief because somehow, I know things will be better once she’s there. I guess she’s also the reason why I find it hard to like the three guys and Nynaeve. I feel like they’re unnecessarily rude and aggressive towards her when she literally saved not just their lives but their whole little town. They kept demanding more from her but suspect her at the same time, like they think she’s both Jesus and satan reincarnated. lol

Best first book ever written in my opinion. No other book has made me so intrigued by characters to the point that they feel like old friends.

0:00 Pips needs to show some respect for the goblin's desk ;)

The Scene where Logain and Rand lock eyes, is an absolutely incredible interaction! No spoilers ….but a convo later in the series just adds so much more to the interaction, in hindsight! The scene just gets better and better each re-read!

Just introduced this series to my mother and told her: "the prologue is the most confusing and most important chapter in the entire series. Don't be discouraged and just reread it if you have to."

You’ve convinced me ... I’ll do a read through

I always thought of the Green Man as something the Ogier brought about by singing to the trees.. or maybe he was a result of someone in the Age of Legends dabbling in plant dna, somehow making a sentient tree that could move around. And he only survived all that intervening time because they needed someone to protect the Eye..

When the first Lord of the Rings movie came out I as a child enjoyed it so much I wanted to continue to story. My dad ordered The Two Towers from Amazon which at the time was primarily a book store, it came bundled with the Eye of the World. I hated reading The Two Towers and ended up reading The Eye of the World. The series has become an ever-present comfort in my life, and took me from barely reading 100 pages in a week to destroying 2000 page novels on the regular. It really changed everything for me. Always glad to hear about how other folks stumbled on the series.

The Lews Therin chapter hooked me, esp the Michael Kramer reading. I was on an airplane just 👁👄👁 Boy on a farm probably would have lost me BUT it does get off to a fast start.

2 weeks a book?! Thats madness!

I would love to see Rosamund Pike narrate the story of Manetheren in a prologue-style sequence at some point in the series the way Cate Blanchett narrates the opening of Fellowship of the Ring.

I remember when I was 12 years old and made a book-review for school of my fav book 'The Eye of the World'. The general reaction was (including the teacher who graded me) 'we see he loves this story, but we've got no clue what this kid is talking about'. Props to you for staying concise talking about a story this complex and packed with content :D

Just finished The Eye of The World a few days ago and picked up The Great Hunt yesterday. I'm really shocked by how quickly I fell in love with these books, the world feels so vast and interesting and I adore all of our characters. Can't wait to see what the next book holds!

As I finished my first read-through of EOTW last month, I can say that Moiraine strikes me as a character that would go against the orders to do something she believes to be the right decision. She seems like a free-spirit kind of character within the Aes Sedai order(council ?), and some of her interaction with Lan reinforce that in the book because you see that Lan knows she doesn't always follow through with the Sedai "code", but he will still follow her to the edges of the world. (I love Lan ♥)

Oh my god, this couldn’t be a coincidence. Just bought the audiobook on audible yesterday :)

That’s funny. I am rereading TEotW for the zillionth time right now. It’s just a cozy thing for me when I’m anxious.

This is such perfect timing Daniel! Just started reading the series (a quarter of away through The Great Hunt). Thanks my guy, keep it going.

Currently reading this, and I am recently getting sooo hyped for this series! *Bring. It. On.*

I am so excited for these videos! I started the series in January and I’m currently about to finish Path of Daggers. This series has become a warm blanket for me and your channel is to thank for that. LET’S GOOOOOOO

My first impression of Moraine was that she's a awesome but a little bit too commanding. Later on in the series I came to understand her motivations more.

I'm doing my first reread for your read along. I've always heard you and others say how great it is on rereads and now I understand. It was amazing the first time, and got me back into reading. Now I'm loving this series all over again. There is so much I missed the first time before I understood the world. Rest In Peace Robert Jordan

Such timing! Finished the series a little over a year ago and I just finished EoTW yesterday for my first reread

SPOILER (Not sure if this is):The voice is the Creator, who also spoke to Rand in AMOL, BTW. I have a personal theory that the Creator might be Robert Jordan's stand in.

I'm looking forward to this video series! I read WoT for the first time last year and has rejuvenated for me a love of this genre, that I mostly took a break from in the last 15 years.

Wow I'm listening to your WOT recap videos today and then you drop this! Beautiful

Oohh WoT has been on my TBR list for soo long and I started it finally after hearing you go on and on about how this is the best fantasy series and I have to say I agree with you What I loved about the book is how Jordan describes everything so well.. It's the setting and the details.. You feel like you are right there He doesn't force the characters to be perfect. They are what they are. I loved the fact that rand and mat and Perrin are so resistant to leave the only place they've known forever. They do not want to go on an adventure. They are forced to leave their homes and are therefore stubborn and resistant to the person driving them to do so- Morraine Ahhh Morraine.. The way her character was introduced was so subtle. You know she's someone important but to what extent. She's strong and that's saying something. She's someone who can manage to make you sound like a fool even when you know that what you said is right and just. She's got her own agendas and she's a no nonsense person. She hides stuff. She likes to hold all her cards close to her heart and not show her hand. She will only tell you what she deems necessary. I'm only on the 5th book yet and loving every second of it. I cannot cannot wait to finish the series and reread it again 🤭😂

Awesome!! Thanks for introducing me to the fandom, been reading the books since I was 10 but never knew other people who read them. Your summaries are how I found your channel a couple of weeks ago, my boyfriend is reading WoT for the first time and needed a quick reminder for the first books. He's on LoC now and we are having so much fun discussing the books as he is getting through them. I was planning on doing a read-through before the launch of the show so this is perfection

I read through Winter's Heart back in High School and decided to finish once the series was done. I never got around to it and this channel along with the impending series has put the bug in me to finally finish the series. I started The Eye of the World earlier this week and can't wait to read along.

*Me watching this video all the way through despite having no interest in the Wheel of Time, I just like listening to Daniel talk*

I just recently started this series! Already on The Great Hunt!

I’ve read Eye of the World years ago and absolutely loved it. Never got around to book 2. Then today I see Amazon is already looking for a second season before release of the first and I’m freaking out. I have to continue the Wheel of Time! And thank goodness you made this video to recap book 1 as I needed a refresher something fierce. Just what I needed. Perfect timing & awesome video!

Can't say the last time a single video made me like, comment, and want to subscribe. However I have been subscribed since your original reviews man. Keep up the great work. Love your content!

I'm a little bummed that Rand won't be meeting Elayne in Season 1, because that means they most likely won't have him run into Elaida either. One of my favorite things about her was the knowledge that she'd basically had Rand in the palm of her hand right at the beginning, and she let him walk away.

It took a long time before I actually realized what happened in the prolouge.

I started the series in February (partly because of your constant praise) and I'm almost finished with A Memory of Light. I'm not ready to let it go yet. So until the show comes out I'll be watching every WOT video there is.

I subbed to DG when he first started. Pleasantly surprised to see how the channel and production quality has grown. Our disheveled goblin is all grown up. Just wish youtube didn't stop showing me new episodes in my feed

man you killing it, ive been doing a live readthrough on my twitch of the eye of the world, and im only averaging 2-3 viewers, and you got 1288 views in only 13 hours. amazing. you are a legend daniel greene. a real legend

Got really excited to read along with you (I’ve only read the first three so far) and then you said your reading pace is one every two weeks and if you think I can read The Shadows Rising in a matter of two weeks you’re insane 😂

I have to thank you for convincing me to read WoT. I’m currently on book 3 and I’m so invested!

I LOVED this! I am a first time read through of the books and would love even more detail. Can't wait for book 2!

The cat hair got me, my Golden Retriever is a hair nightmare.

I actually thought the beginning was a GREAT hook, and I was very disappointed by the DRAG the next 200 pages(ish) were. It was such a decline in quality that the rest of the book never got close to hitting until the end, which was, of course, amazing

Really appreciating the summary. It's been a while, and I don't think I have it in me right now for a re-read. Thanks for what you do and for your passion that's getting me back into it.

Just finished EOTW and loved it! Cant wait to read the rest! Love your videos!! Thanks for all that you do!

wtf I love the Rand+Mat arc in Book 1!

If you flex on how many wheel of time editions you have, I feel temped to send you the edition translated in my language. 🤣🤣🤣 Every translation is a different edition, right

I'm so happy your doing this! I started reading WOT during Uni this last year, flew through the first 2 books during Christmas break, but then had to stop when Uni started again because things got to busy! This now gives me the perfect incentive to start reading again and I already have a 2 book head start!

sir, you've effectly inspired me to reread (thru audible) this series. I love it. And when I got to a particular scene with Min i had chills... soooo much foreshadowing that I had forgotten about!

I am on the 14th book right now at a chapter called “The L*st B****” and because is Huuuuuge I tried to take a break... Then Daniel make me emotional again!

I think one of my favorite lines from RJ this whole series was at the end of one of the beginning chapters when Rand thinks “it is going to be the best Bel Tine ever!” Like as a first time reader you can’t help but think “yeah this is going to go horribly wrong.”

Dude! I decided to start reading WoT last month, I'm in the 3rd book now. What a nice coincidence you starting those videos now, I'll read them with you :D

I'm literally re-reading the first book again since a few days now and feel so much more invested and intrigued by it the second time now.

A new video every two weeks and I’m on book 7 I just gotta stay ahead 😬 let’s do this!😤💪🏼

I literally just started EotW today (love it). And this comes out? What a coinky-dink.

After your channel convincing me to start the series, I finished The Eye of the World this afternoon. I have to say, I loved it. I teared up when Loail began singing for Treebrother. To answer your question, Moiraine comes off to me as wise, practiced and powerful. I trust her, despite what we’ve heard about Aes Sedai, and I think Jordan (as Rand) put it well when he said she is “like steel covered with velvet”. Thank you for encouraging me to begin this series and I’ll be back when I’ve finished The Great Hunt!

I started reading Eye of the World because of your channel and it has been my best decision in such a long time. Just finished book 1 and bought the first 6 so I’ll be back for the next book 👍🏻

About to finish book 2 but it's gonna be a lil difficult to keep up with the 2 week schedule😅

Can’t believe this was released within a couple months of me finishing my first read through....don’t think I can handle going through the whole thing again so soon 😂

Wow I'm finally on board! I gave this series a try a few years ago when I was first starting to read again, but the super different names of people and places that don't exist outside of real life combined with what felt like excruciatingly slow pace, I felt overwhelmed. So I put the book down and wasn't in a hurry to ever pick it up again... I heard what an amazing community WoT is and wanted to be a part of it so I gave it another shot. Man, I was so worried because I still thought the first book boring, but thankfully I can listen to audiovooks at work so I jumped into the great hunt and things started to click for me. I've got a third of the dragon reborn left and am loving mats perspective and I can't wait to see how other things play out. Thank you so much for introducing me to this amazing series! I'm grateful that there's such an enthusiastic audience since I never would have taken a second look at a chunky 14 book series and said yea I'm gonna try this again!

I am so glad you're doing this!! I started Wheel of Time at the beginning of this year thanks to discovering your channel, and I always go back and watch your old recap and review videos after I finish each one to help me process and remember what happened. I'm excited to have these new videos to add to the routine! Unfortunately I'm reading at a pace of about one book per month (reading an easier/shorter book between each one to make sure I don't burn myself out or start rushing), so after a while I won't be able to watch them right away. I'm on book 5 right now and still going strong! Funny about the Prologue, I didn't realize that was the general consensus about it! I LOVED the prologue; between that and the cozy, homey descriptions of Emond's Field from Egwene's point of view that made me feel like I live there, I was hooked. I thought those two chapters gave you the best of both worlds- the immersion you feel with the characters and culture and then this HUGE, epic story of magic and heroes and massive worldchanging battles. I love those two chapters and I haven't been disappointed since by the tone that was set. As far as Moiraine, I knew she was going to be one of my favorite characters right from the start. I love her description with her blue robes and how much she stood out- like an invader from the wilder outside world coming to simple Emond's Field. Then I just loved her progression even just in Eye of the World from this serious mage with the weight of the world on her shoulders who will stop at nothing to save the world...and she never really loses that, but there's also this layer of her being a tired mother hen to these villagers that are so difficult to keep alive sometimes. It's hilarious to think about. I'm constantly wavering back and forth between if she actually cares about the main characters or if they're really just tools for her to save the world. I can't wait to experience the rest of her story.

What makes you think I'm not already re-reading the series?

Hey man, just wanted to say that when you keep referring to what characters become after this book (with no specifics), you are giving away spoilers for the series without even knowing.

Thank you for introducing me to this series! I just finished Book 1 on your recommendation - it is the story I didn't know I NEEDED! You're right. Reading it is like cuddling up in a cozy comforting blanket. (And as an overwriter, I LOVED the narration style and details and infodumps☺️) I just bought Book 2 and am so ready to just devour it!

Just started my 2nd REREAD. Halfway through Eye of the World, loving it so much. So great to be with these characters again. (It’s been 7 years since last visit.)Well aware of their trajectory but seeing many new nuances that Jordan litters throughout and my many reflections are rather different being a father now. Really love the time Jordan takes with his description of the world and his adept communication of the sense of time and place as the journey unfolds. Master. (Can’t wait to get deeper in… bring on “The Shadow Rising”!) First time commenting here by the way and love your warm vibe, great quirky takes and love and passion for fantasy (WoT in particular). Great channel. 👍💪

The Wheel of Time turns, and Ages come and pass, leaving memories that become legend. Legend fades to myth, and even myth is long forgotten when the Age that gave it birth comes again. In one Age, called the Third Age by some, an Age yet to come, an Age long past, a wind rose above the KZfaq channel named Daniel Greene. The wind was not the beginning. There are neither beginnings nor endings to the Wheel of Time. But it was *a* beginning.

No hate but how is this a read a-long if you’ve completely read the book before telling your audience? I can’t exactly read along side of you if you’ve already read the book and now talking about it with spoilers.

Oooh my copy of the Eye of the World arrived yesterday, the timing is awesome!!!

Hell yes! Let's begin the pilgrimage. I've just finished The eye of the world last month so this is fantastic.
