a must-read for all fans of the Wheel of Time

Warrior of the Altaii by Robert Jordan
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is not a story type that i usually read, but being by Robert Jordan, i grabbed it as soon as it became available at our local library. This tale, completed in 1978, is one of the first Jordan wrote. But after publishing rights changing hands several times, was never published until now. The Forward is by his widow Harriet, and contains some back story not only to this book but also to their meeting. As Harriet mentions in the Forward, this tale contains many characteristics and concepts that foreshadow the classic and epic Wheel of Time series, which is second to none among fantasy epics. I really enjoyed this story, the character development, and the multiple dimensions to many aspects. After completing the book, i can see many Wheel of Time concepts that were explored and foreshadowed in this tale. I would say that this is a must-read for all fans of the Wheel of Time.
