I don’t intend to write a post about every Wheel of Time episode, but words aren’t coming to me on any other subject, so there. Here were my thoughts on episodes 1-3.
I’ll have a section with spoilers from the book at the end of the post.
I really enjoyed this one and I feel like it’s settled in to a reasonable pace. The scenes around campfires slowing down, getting to know people, having a little fun. I love people taking the piss at Lan and Moraine for being so serious, the little polyamory with Alanna and her warders
- I’m loving Nynaeve, I feel like she’s spot on, minus the annoying ticks that sort of overtake the conversation of her usually. The moment when everyone’s fighting with proper weapons and she takes out the tiny little knife, excellent.
- I do like how the Tinker’s philosophy ties in with Perrin but not enough to forgive the fridging. Just because I understand why they made that decision doesn’t mean I agree it was a good one, or good writing, still angry.
- I like Alanna’s outfit best of all the Aes Sedai so far and I think it’s because of the use of gold as a contrasting color, Moraine has black which I like with the leather, but it kinda gets too lost in the dark blue.
- Liandrin reminds me of a lot of my least favorite parts of the books so whenever I see I go ughhhh noooo
- I love how they used Logain to show the madness of the dragon without giving away who it is. Because one of my complaints was how we were missing out on the voices and that whole omnious vibe. It is a little confusing to me that we can see both male and female weaves, but the characteres would only be able to see some.
