I know, it’s not the books. Not even close, but someone finally made a series. It was painful at times, but it grew on me. And now… it’s done. Worse still, I’ve learned it was cancelled.

I feel so sad. I wanted to see where it went. But alas, another show cancelled.
Well… I’ve been wanting to re-read the 15 books. Maybe now is the time.
What about you all? Did you feel the love-hate as well? Are you sad? Indifferent?
You’re obviously a big fan of the books so I guess that makes a difference as well (I have only read the first one). To me, this was just another generic 6/10 fantasy show with nothing particularly special or exciting about it so without a complete story and the promise of a potential big payoff the third season has nothing to offer. I will, of course, miss Rosamund Pike!
Definitely love the books and Rosamund Pike. 💜
If I’m being honest, had I not read the book series, I probably would have stopped watching the TV show after a few episodes. It’s the most expensive cheesy quality tv show made. It’s as if day time soap operas and B cinema had a baby. 🤣
As for the books, Jordan definitely borrows Tolkien themes early on. Things diverge pretty quickly as characters develop though. Jordan was an incredible world and character builder. So incredible that people wondered if he could ever finish the series. Haha. 😬
