Fellow book reader here. I thought s1 was okay but remained optimistic. I also find s2 to be a substantial improvement. I find the characters to be very true to their book counterparts, even as their continue to be plenty of book->screen scene changes. Like you, I try to focus on the positive aspects of the changes - I can be surprised by what the show does. I think the Wonder Girls are most true to the books in terms of both character and storyline. I think Rand, Selene, various Aes Sedai, and Ishy storylines are a little more different, but I like or am intrigued by what the show is doing. I have similarly promsing vibes regarding Perrin, Mat, & Min - my sharper complaint there is simply that I want more with them and faster. I am fine w/ the Moiraine half of this season's drama - it's the Lan side that I find to be a drag. I think I see the payoff they are building toward, but I'm not as convinced this was the optimal storyline for making sure both characters had material this season when they had little at this point in the books. Anywho, kudos on this video and your knitting project. I am neither a knitter nor on Instagram, so all I can do is offer my best wishes on that aspect of your WoT-related pursuits! 🎉
Thanks for watching even though you aren’t a knitter 🙃. I couldn’t agree more with being intrigued by what the show is doing - I loved the ending, can’t wait for season 3!!
They're doing Elayne so well that I couldn't be More Excited to meet Avendiha and see them interacting.
Agreed!! I thought Aviendha was so cool when they introduced her, can’t wait to see more of her in season three…
