The Eye of the World

Umm .. just read this book if you love fantasy. I can't believe it took me so long to start the series.

The first season of Amazon's series follows this book. If you have watched the TV series and are confused then reading this book will make everything much much much clearer.  The book and series start and end at basically exactly the same place so don't worry about spoiler one or the other by reading/watching the first book/season. The more minor plot lines of the TV series deviate wildly from the book and generally not in a good way but they mostly fold back into the same end result and ready for you to start book 2/season 2.

TL;DRRead it. If you enjoyed the TV series then definitely read it. If you didn't enjoy the TV series then this will probably make you mad about the weird changes, but still read it.
