  Maybe had it not been bad fan fiction instead of just, you know, following the author’s story, it would have worked out.

    The author’s story was also pretty terrible. I re-read it again last year, and man does it drag. You could most likely cut it in half and make a better series.

      You could potentially cut a lot, yeah. But this wasn’t cutting, this was just plain rewriting.

      I just finished the series last week after starting it in January 2024. It’s a pretty damn good epic. Yes there are slower parts, but on the whole it’s very enjoyable and well paced. Not sure what you’d expect from a 14 book series. You’re also full of it if you say the 12000 page series is terrible, yet you also reread it last year. That is nonsensical to put that much time and effort into something that’s ‘pretty terrible’.

      I don’t even disagree with you about the drag. However, books 1 and 2 are some of the best modern fantasy you can find. I knew the show was in trouble when it started making major changes to the story right out of the gates.

  I’m amazed it made it to season 2.

    Season 1 was hot garbage but 2 and 3 were pretty good. It seemed like it had found its footing.

      S1 got wrecked by COVID s2 was good and s3 was fabulous.

  It’s a shame. Season 1 was bad, season 2 was watchable, but I really enjoyed season 3. It felt like they were finally getting into their stride.

  Pacing was like walking through a lake of mud. Still deserved a proper finale. Amazon is the new Netflix of cancelled series.

  I am crushed. The series got better and better and S3 had one of the best (of not the best) episode in the genre ever put on TV. Fuck Amazon. I didn’t have a subscription to it before, otherwise I would have cancelled mine.

  Good. Maybe the next turning of the wheel will give this series the love it deserves.

  All good things must come to an end, even The Wheel of Time.

  As well as things of every other quality

    The wheel of time turns and ages come and pass. There is no end to the turning of the wheel of time but this is an end.
