So I just finished Eye of The World.

Well that was a bit underwhelming I think?
The actual channelling that Rand did just seems more terrifying than anything. The implications for his life, without even knowing that he’s the Dragon Reborn, are pretty scary.
Don't worry, you've got another 12 books to have things build. The first three books have a certain cadence, then things slow down for a while, then the last four or five pick up again.
Thanks. I was just concerned mainly because I never felt really hooked? Like it was an interesting tale, but I’m mostly just annoyed that I’m missing a ton of in universe knowledge that others (mainly Lan and Morraine) seem to have.
Hell, I only even know about the Ajah and what an Amyrilyn Seat is because I started reading New Spring before EotW.
Yeah, the series is a slow burn with revealing information--New Spring was a faster pace, if I remember correctly. But wanting those answers is actually part of what kept me hooked.
I recommend reading through at least the first three books. If you're not feeling it at that point, you probably won't enjoy the rest of the series much. But quite a bit more about the world is unfurled in the next two books.
