Wheel of Time by Robert Jordan

MDF7 August 15th, 2023

Has anyone else read the entire series and wants to discuss it? I’ve read the whole series several times now and I’m currently on the last book again. I started reading them again when the show finally came out. Also if anybody would also like to rant about how the show is drastically different from the books 🤣

I am familiar with this from the Blind Guardian songs, you heard them?

No I’ve never heard of that. I just googled it though I can’t believe there’s a Wheel of Time song that’s crazy! And it’s definitely referring to the books. How exciting!

@MDF7 yes check that whole album they have more than one. The beginning song is used in the "Sacred" video game!

@MDF7 no I was an avid reader. Two TBI's later reading is difficult.

I roughly know the synopsis though.

Oh no, I’m sorry to hear that! Maybe you could listen to audiobooks?

@MDF7 I haven't but I looked at your idea of audio books as I am an avid fan of those and wow the length is A mazing a total of nonstop listening for 19d 5h 25m!!

I am looking at this and wondering when I would finish!

Yeah it’s a very long series 🤣 I started re-reading it this last time almost 2 years ago and I’m finally on the last book. It’s worth it though, it’s my favorite series.

I am reading this series as well. I am on The Fires of Heaven; I think it's the 5th book in the series. I am excited for the 2nd season of the show coming out tomorrow. What do you like most about the books? TV show?

@PreciousReflection Yay! That’s so exciting that somebody else is reading the books! Who is your favorite character? Mine is Aviendha but I really love Loial too. I don’t know what my favorite thing about the series, probably just how caught up in it I get. It’s like a whole other world. I definitely don’t like how different they made the show from the books. It’s still good though. I’m excited for season 2 tomorrow too! I think what annoyed me the most is that Perrin had a wife in the first episode and then accidentally kills her. Really???!!! She didn’t even exist in the books come on now. And apparently the dragon reborn in the show could possibly have been Egwene or Nynaeve, really? Basically the entire point of the books is that the dragon reborn is a man who can channel and is therefore potentially going to break the world again. Ugh, anyway I’m still excited for the show 🤣

@MDF7

Yes, it is an awesome series. Hard to say what my favorite character is, maybe Moraine? Or Matt the gambler/womanizer? Not sure really. Yeah, they did seem to change a lot in the TV show. I watched the first couple episodes of the 2nd season last night and was a little disappointed so far but still have hope. The Seanchan were just introduced, and they look pretty cool, but don't remember the dark one riding with them in the books at all. But hopefully they will lead to a good 3rd episode in the show.

Glad to find someone else who is also enjoying reading the books. Tried to get my friend started on the series but I think it is too much reading for him hehe. Anyway, let me know what else you like about the books. Cheers.

Yessss!!! It’s an Amazon prime original. But if you’ve read the books, the show goes way off track. It’s still really good though.
