This series burnt me out, as far as reading is concerned, for a year. I was so immersed it was incredible.
Did you do this for Malazan yet?
Daniel Greene is love to see you talk about The Man in the High Castle. Granted, it’s alternate history/sci-fi, but it’s fascinating!
Thanks Daniel, this is a fantastic summary and really helped me to connect the past with present in complicated book series. Great job buddy!
About to finish book 1!
Most villians: serve evil because of power, fear, hatred, etc.
Ishamael: served evil because of MATH
Do you know what that means? Ishamael joined Satan because he calculated that mankind will have to fight forever in order to keep the Dark One in his prison, but the Dark One himself will have to win only once. Also, Ishamael led the drilling of the Bore, which he did because of math. That means that the universe was almost wiped out due to MATH!!
THAT SUBJECT IS EVIL!!!!!!!!!
@@dragonsorcerer1615 nah. Math is truth. What you do with the truth is up to you. Or the person mathing.
honestly i hate that some people say that justifies him; thats like saying its ok to try and murder someone because they were gonna die eventually anyway
@@dragonsorcerer1615 Wait, Ishmael helped drill the bore? I thought it was Lanfear and random male user.
That random sorcerer was probably Ishamael, because before the bore was drilled, he was a power-hungry swine.
Took me 10 years to read all the books between College, marriage, having kids, and jobs. And when it was over I felt like I lost a family.
I hope they don't screw up the tv show....
leblon712 same here. I just now reading the last two books. I started reading when the first book came then wondered if it would be finally complete when Jorden passed away. So while I waited I played the D&D wheel of time game and did not want to finish least it be over!
Ooooh, they will. Just look to the Sword of Truth TV Adaptation. They're going to pander to people who have no idea what Saidar or Saidin is.
Just look at the cast, its already an sjw clusterfuck.
@@leblon712 Whatever could you mean? Why wouldnt a small, remote faming village isloated from its parent kingdom for hundreds of years be a breeding ground of diverse skin colors and ethic backgrounds?? /sarcasm
@@jflanagan9696 ... You made me laugh out loud!
I’m watching this before reading the Wheel Of Time and it feels like Daniel is Galadriel at the beginning of the Fellowship Of The Ring movie.
very accurate
I think the prologue of The wheel of Time made it pretty clear that Ishameal heal the dragon because he was angry that the dragon didn't even realize he had been defeated and how badly. It was through frustration and a desire to inflict as much pain upon the dragon that Ishameal healed him.
This sounds like the most epic story ever! I think I need to read this.
Yes you do
@@devonhonjo3282 those 14 books cost a lot of money though, at from what I found.
@@crimsonking7179 join audible they'll give you a free trial and a credit for a book. And if you like audible. Dont unsubscribe cuz you get a free credit every month
@@devonhonjo3282 "Free" credit, huh? :P
Well worth the money, also, it doesn't cost that much per book. It costs 16/book at my local book store. I'll gladly eat just Oatmeal for a few days to afford the book :p
Started reading the "Eye of the world" in february of this year. Now ,in the end of 2019, I am going to start reading book 8:The path of daggers. I am in love
@@thebookist1651 yup!! I finished memory of light in october. So so so so good
The most amazing part is that all the things in the video are taken from preambles or conversations within the books, but the actual series begins right where the video ends.
This was a great video, sir. Very, very well done. Thank you.
Somedays , I feel I am the only one in this world who reads books. Then I see videos like these, brightens my day up :)
Lol you're not... Just finished book 10.. :)
@@chicodepuertorico1450 I think I read this book series almost a decade ago. Such good memories. A very beautiful and intricately created world. Sadly, the author had reduced the series to something of a gossip mag towards the end.
I remember that at around book 10-ish still there was no sign of the final battle I think. Frankly speaking, if the same author had continued the series , it would have had a very lame ending.
Fortunately, one of my favourite authors of all time took up the mantle of finishing this book , and damn did he do a fine job. I understand that much of the plan was previously chalked up, but I am sure if it were upto the original author , the series would have continued till book 20-30 maybe.
Speaking of Sanderson , the sheer change that he brought about to the series i.e, the last books , is just mind-blowing . It was like waiting for a hundred years to see a lotus bloom , and in the end the bloom was so beautiful that it makes the long wait all the more worthwhile. If you have time , always check out his other books.
Although kindof predictable but the books are amazing. The very peak of Western e-fantasy literature in my opinion.
Only thing I find more distasteful than people who think books are dumb are people who think that reading books means they’re special or something.
@@baneofbanes People like you are the reason we have middle fingers 😂
I listened to all 14 audiobooks. That is why I was surprised at the way Jordan and company spelled things when I read some or their names later on.
Aes Sadai is pronounced "Eye sadeye?" Lose Therein is actually "Lews Therrin?" LOL!
Used to read these in highschool, new job and I have no time to read, but audiobooks, man those are a blessing. I forgot just how amazing this world was and how brilliant of a writer and creator Robert Jordan was.
Honestly if it wasn't for audio books I'd never get to a book for the foreseeable future. I LOVE them!! Even cured me of my lead foot when driving. Used to be I had music blaring and pedal to the metal. Now it's cruise control and a great book on the radio. Lol
and Sanderson !!
Right, Michael Kramer and Kate Reading really brought it to life on audible
I'm curious. How does audiobooks let you experience a book when you don't have time to read?
@@mawe9878 I worked a job where I was driving 8-10 hours a day. Once home I had to work on my thesis. Luckily I have a new job and finished the thesis so I can read normally again lol.
I’m literally only 200 pages into The Eye of the World and I am already foreseeing this being in my all time favorite list. I am so excited to read all the books and there are 15 of them 😭
Is this safe to watch before starting the first book? Thanks.
Read a New Spring First! Then the Eye of the World!
@@das_ollon Did it?
@@kellibarnhouse6591 I don't think you should read New Spring first. It comes first chronologically but it is better read after the series.
A New Spring is not interesting at all IMO until you finish all the other books. Only then do Moraine and Lan feel epic enough for their origin story.
Lol. You convinced me and converted me. I bought the Wheel of Time. HERE GOES!
You're in for a treat and one that has still enthralled me since I first picked it up back in 1993. When AMoL came out in 2012 (The Year of the Dragon) I binged the 900+ page book in 24 hours - then immediately turned around and read it a second time, taking a week to pick up some more details. I will start my annual re-read on July 1. (For the 9th time reading it.)
Better stick with it once you start the series. It’s a big time commitment.
Me too, I remember trying to read it when it first came out, and I just couldn't get into it. Here's hoping the second time around is better.
You won't regret it!
Amys The-Wise-One Do you keep picking up new details with every re-read or just enjoy the plot?
What do you think of the new series? 🤔
I love it!
And I realize I said blight when i meant to say breaking. DARN IT!
I love it, it was a great little jaunt through the universe for me, and I'm looking forward to the series I haven't read, to get an idea of their worlds and circumstances.
Yeah at 14:47. I thought that this probably is just a mix up =) Nevertheless a very good and easy to follow summary for everyone who want to know what happend before the books start. Chapeau!
Great stuff. Keep it up!
I've just started reading The Eye of the World (about 100 pages in now) and this is explanation has helped me so much to orient myself in the world before going further so thank you for making this video and also just basically convincing me to read this series!
Awesome reads....
It's been over 20years since I last read the series. Picked up book 1 just days ago and I am still captivated by the story. Listening to this video just gave me goosebumps. Good job!
Great summary of a lot of material.
Please do go in depth about the evidence for the first age being our modern age that we know. Maybe in another video?
wot.fandom.com/wiki/First_Age has the only information about this that I know of.
I'm rusty on my lore, but there are moments where you follow Lews Therin during the beforetimes, or just visions that one or more of the main characters have where they experience the world as it was, complete with what basically amount to laser weapons and flying cars. It definitely touches on what a high technology + high magic society might be like, but only in very brief glimpses and I seem to recall it being done pretty tastefully.
@@nich479 wow I read that and then went to the part about Glass Columns. If you survive entering the columns, you come out with a dragon tattoo. A character named Rand exits the columns with two.
So.
A character named Rand, enters into a "mystical realm" (memory bank of the ancestors), confronts a dragon (the truth about the ancestors) and comes out with 2 dragon tattoos.
Is this an Iron Fist cameo? True, he only has one dragon tattoo, but he comes out with 2 iron fists.
Nice
Arthur Pendraeg. 'Nuff said
There's a Mercedes Benz hood ornament in Tanchico, and a dinosaur skeleton. I think it's in book 4
Brings tears to a dedicated fan who's read the series at least twice. Thanks man.
Gotta say your love for WoT is contagious. Got EotW and will
read it after Im finished with Stormlight.
His love of this series got me to read it as well and I just started EotW today. So far I’m really enjoying it.
Love WOT since I first started reading it in the mid 1990s. Reread many times and still find bits I'd forgotten about or missed. Enjoyed the Amazon series, so far, although it diverts from the books.
I read Eye of the World 13 years ago the summer after I graduated high school.
Between work, marriage, kids, and buying a farm-I honestly didn’t remember much of it. I recently decided to give the Amazon show a watch-and I absolutely loved it! I haven’t felt this way about a fantasy series in a long time.
I totally understand how fans of the books would be upset at the changes and direction the show went.
But as someone who basically hasn’t read the books, it’s really good. If you go into it with zero expectations-it’s phenomenal.
The same can’t be said about the Rings of Power. My wife never got into LotR, but was really into Game of Thrones. She wanted to give RoP a chance-but even she could see that it was just very sterile.
The Wheel of Time show looks and feels like a lot of love was put in it. And the cast are absolutely amazing.
I hope book fans can look back on it someday and see it as its own version of the story and world.
I LOVED this! I’m on my second read through of the WOT and this really helped me put the pieces of WOT history together. Thank you for putting the time and energy into this!!!
mark out the chapters for each character then re read in there perspective only its really fun :)
This will ruin the books for a lot of people
Woooo buddy I heard that Malazan! psyched for the new series, congrats on the (almost) 10k!
So stoked for this series. Thanks for your vids Dan
Wow, thank you! I was just prompted to finally start WoT by a good friend and this video has answered a ton of questions I had....sub fo life
This video was great, please keep doing these. I will be honest, I've never been able to get into WoT, but listening to a fan talk about them is a different way to enjoy! Thanks for making your great content and I hope your move went well.
20 years after reading the first book I am finally going to try to finish the whole series (no more years of waiting on between and forgetting all the characters... This time thank goodness for the internet!) Thanks for the videos to motivate me to get back into it 😊
Yeah, I never got to the end, having started the books in middle school, in the 90s. Waiting those 4 and 5 year gaps between books, over a decade later, with multiple books still yet to be published....I just gave up.
There is such a huge backlog to get through, and at the time there was only a young internet without resources like this. Which made the reread a daunting task. With thousands of named characters I was always lost. But I'd like to at least read 14, I feel I earned tarmon gaidon, at least.
I haven't read the books, but I'm loving the Amazon show. So I just watched this video (spoiler-free for the series, but to get lots of backstory for the world itself). Then I just re-watched the opening narration of Ep 1 of the Amazon show. It's amazing how Moiraine's narration sums up this whole video beautifully in 30 seconds--from a very female Aes Sedai point of view ("Men who were born with great power thought they could cage darkness itself--the arrogance.") Hearing that line now that I have the whole story sent chills up my spine! Watching the Ep 1 opening again AFTER seeing this video was so cool! Thank you, Daniel!
do you still like the show?
@@NoNameAtAll2 I loved it! It's not as good as HotD, but it was a million times better than Rings of Power. I am excited for season 2. I want to know what's going on with the guy following the main group in that desert city, who the devil guy is and that amazing flashback to the prior turn of the wheel, and anything with the aes sedai. My favorite characters are probably Morgaine and her ward. All the wards are fascinating. And the Amberlin Seat (I'm sure I'm spelling all of this wrong). She's the most interesting character so far, out of a lot of interesting characters.
@DLT718 unfortunately they've cut a lot from the books and added a lot of their own not so great story ideas
I've read this series so many times and it is/and will always be my comfort read. Love the homely Two Rivers, love the hard Aiel, love the manipulating Aes Sedai, so many great moments and such an extensive world to fall into. I do wish the New Spring series had been completed, however. If you haven't already, I highly recommend the audiobooks!
I started reading the books and slowly transitioned into the audio books, and now exclusively listen to the books.
Can highly recommend them if you're like me and need to pass time in long commutes.
This is gonna be so helpful when I finally start the series. It sounds so beautiful, can’t wait!
Also, incredible work!
This video was fantastic. I balked at the time at first...but not a second wasted. Exceptionally entertaining to watch, concise and informative, and edited really really well with visuals. Subbed! I look forward to more.
After this, I trust any further project to be good but I'd look forward to Lightbringer and anything cosmere. Also, more in depth WOT focused on forsaken or lineage or hidden plot lines etc could be great too.
Excellent video.
I loved this video, you helped me pull a lot of information together in a way that would have taken many, many days to get on my own. It's amazing how much you forget, even having done a reread in the last year. I have a feeling I'll come back to this video, again and again once the TV show comes out and I know where I'll refer my friends who are new to the story and want some background. Well done Daniel, I LOVED it!
Okay, I have no idea why TH-cam recommended this video but I'm glad it did. One of my all-time favorite book series. For some reason the news of the Amazon series skipped me so I'm learning about that too and now awaiting it with anticipation.
YES!!! best series idea ever!!!! LOVE IT! This is a great video!
@wetslice69 wet don't worry, he is one steroids
really like the spoiler free WOT vids, as i'm just now starting on the second book! loving it so far!
I am re-reading this series as it has been a long time. I can’t believe how much I have forgotten but if Aragorn shows up in the tavern at Baerlon silently observing, I think I will loose my mind!
I love the idea of this series! Can't wait for the malazan video!
It will take a LOT of time to do right, so patience will be required but I am excited to do it!
I know it's only been six months, but you got a percentage on the Malazan mythology yet? How far along are you? Please! @@DanielGreeneReviews
you can say whatever you want but the Wheel of Time is such an epic title for a saga
man, I've read and reread the series 4 times, and i discovered a lot of things in this. thank you.
Awesome to hear this! It's got me pumped to re-read the series!
Gotta say it has been a blessing finding the work you've done on the wheel of Time. I've watched this video many times. I knew all of the information, however, it is very nice to have it in such a stream lined form. Instead of pulling from the peices scattered over 11 thousand plus pages. Thank you and please keep it up.
i have grown with this series and you haves shown me some art that i had never seen before thank you and hopefully the show will do the series justice.
The Belgariad and The Mallorian series (5 books a piece) are both great series to immerse yourself into
Uncommon CoreSense I love those books! There’s something so charming and rustic about them!
Grew up with The Belgariad and just started wheel of time getting really nostalgic
I've read/listened to this entire series 4 times and I didn't pick up on half of this. Thank you and well done!
thank you for these background videos. A group of us are starting WoT this year and it's very daunting. These have been so helpful.
WOW! This is amazing..! So deftly done, accurate and immersive! So great to have the whole story come together in chronological order, it gives me a better picture of how things happened and why. THANK YOU, Daniel!
This convinced me to start wheel of time after I finished stormlight archive. Nice job, dude.
I went the other way, I had heard of Elantris and it was on my list. But I only started to read Brandon Sanderson because of his excellent completion of Wheel of Times. The waiting is killing me though.
Could you please tell me if we go through all this.... history with the books, or if they begin later, once the new "hero" emerges?
If so, when does he appear, in which book of the series?
Could I just begin there?
Thanks for any answer 🎋
@@ChristmasLore just start book 1 you'll be fine
10k! Congrats Daniel! You are honestly my favourite creator.
I adore Wheel of Time! I'm going to reread it when I get a chance. Robert Jordan lived in my city and a lot of his inspiration came from our area, such as Ogier St!
Already re-reading it again! For a third time lol
I'm excited to see more of this series, this was an excellent video
I just love it man...thanks! As soon as I finish reading New Spring, I was like damn I have to finish all these books.
I'm in the middle of The Dragon Reborn and this is an amazing background to the story, it helps because these are extensive books and after 3 of them you forget some stuff. Amazing content Daniel, as I always say keep the fresh content coming, this is really good stuff.
I had been thinking about it, but this video has officially convinced me to read The Wheel of Time! Gonna go hit up my local bookstore tomorrow! I am brand new to your channel, but have been bingewatching. You and Murphy are my favs!
I was planning on waiting a few more weeks before starting a reread of WoT, but this inspired me. I will start the reread tonight.
I'm having a horrible day (a horrible week 😞), but watching this made me feel better. Thank you for doing what you do.
Hang tough! It always gets better after the slumps
Yes just pull a Kaladin, you will get through it :D
I hope your week gets better. My son is cutting his molars, so you're not alone in having a shitty week!
Just found your channel. I have been a big WoT fan since 1992. Love seeing everyone sharing their love!
Outstanding summary! I’ve read the series at least 5x & due to its volume, forget much in between readings. Your video was great for the history leading up to the series & referred to in the series. That had to take an extreme amount of time, great job!
This has been my favorite book series for the last 12 years
This was so awesome. Helped me understand the wheel time books that I am reading sooo much better. Thanks
I love your content!! So very helpful and fun to watch!
I'm trying to work on a rpg campaign in this universe and for those who are not familiar with the series, i always direct them to your channel and TheDustyWheel!! Keep up the AMAZING work!! Much love!!!
This was really well done. I can see myself rewatching this from time to time whenever I feel a bit too far from WoT
Thanks man, I love the spoiler free thing, I'm still at book 9
Keep it up. The rereads are just as good as you connect the dots.
I'm on book 9 too! This series takes for ever!
For me I had to start over after the wait between books had me forgetting things that had happened when the next one came out. I eventually had to give up and wait for near the end of the series before I started over with book 1. I miss Robert Jordan and his world- would have loved to see what sort of new/continuing series he would have come up with similar to Terrys Brooks and Goodkind.
Just finished the first book in the wheel of time series today, I wish i'd seen this first cause this is a great video!
Almost done with book 3 in less than 2 weeks. But I do audio books along with reading.
@@workhard.nerdharder.3518 I do that as well depending on how my brain is functioning. I sometimes have a hard time focusing, and listening along while reading allows me to read when I'd otherwise be left in a catatonic state. I think you're going to grow tired of the audiobooks soon. The problem is with the text, not with the narrators. There's a section in the books were some characters become really pissy, the narrators have performed that part, which will infuriate you.
I wouldn’t have wanted to watch this before reading - it gives a little too much away.
@@Jesterian Learning about the lore with the characters is part of the fun.
Really loving the content in the past few months! Cant waite to see you blow up once WOT & Cosmere get more exposure due to the screen adaptations! Keep it up!
Well this video has definitely made me want to read this series. I often find lore videos like this are a deciding factor in drawing me into a new fictional universe, so thanks for making this dude.
There are so many great series to choose from for history and lore. You already mentioned Mistborn, Malazan, and Game of Thrones, all great. I think the Inheritance Cycle history and lore would be a fairly straight forward and fun one. Dune is also something I'd like to hear you talk about some day.
Lastly, I know you don't really like KKC, but it's got some really unique and mysterious lore. Anyway, looking forward to all of it!
Incredible history explained. Can't wait to also see the Malazan explained. Awesome!!!!
I was introduced to WoT when I was 16. My best friend in high school was very into it and convinced me to check it out, using a phrase I still use today on others. "If you can get past the first 10 chapters of EotW, you'll never put the series down." Up until now, the best "history" video for WoT was the intro to the video game, imho. You have done 1000% better. You're attention to detail was spot on. I really appreciate this video and will probably send it to all my friends I'm currently trying to get into the series. (Extra thanks for making it spoiler free). Keep up the great work. Jordan would have been proud. ;)
Great refresher. I’m now convinced. I’m going to reread WoT. This way I’ll be able to keep up with your future posts covering the new show. Thanks mate!
This was awesome for someone who just started this series. Thanks.
I like the dramatic voice - very _ominous_
I actually didn't... It was as if he was trying to emphasize everything and therefore it didn't work (for me at least).
But other than that: really great video!
Really good video. Just started my first read of the wheel of time and this is a nice background. Looking forward to more.
This was amazing, please continue this series!
Its crazy to think that most of the WOT cast probably saw this video when they were starting out. They all recognized him in the premiere!
I love this but I think there's definitely huge spoilers here. The True Power especially and the whole Fateful Concord situation should be slowly revealed (as in the books) in the show.
I have to agree. Rhuidean was a huge revelation when I read it, and then later when I realized the nature of the true power.
Wow man!!! AMAZING VIDEO ! I'm definitely sold on reading this saga. Your love for these books permeates through my screen. Gonna read it as soon as I'm done with RoW.
This was an amazing video. Thank you!
With the announcement of a TV series and your enthusiasm of The Wheel of Time books I'm thinking of picking up the books again, after having stopped at book 5 when I first read it around ten years ago.
Thanks for your videos, man. :-)
Ive been subscribed for the longest time. I subscribed when you had like 200 subs and I used to study Literature and had to read 4 books a week for college and the fantasy loving nerd inside of me had to wait to get back to his tbr and MAN do i want to read the wheel of time!!! Im halfway through the name of the wind, but im so ashamed that you got me interested in ‘twot’ so long ago and i still havent started it! Definitely the next on the list, now that i can read whatever i want!
The name of the wind (kingkiller Chronicles) is amazing! The second book (wise mans fear) is when I realized the greatness of rothfuss' writing!
Make the effort to read WoT u won't be disappointed. The world created is genuinely more in depth than ASoIAF . The middle books can be a bit hard going, but honestly keep going, the last 3 books are amazing 😀, can't recommend enough. I must've read the full series at least 5 times and I still discover hidden gems!!
I’m 1/3 into the first book, this helps me a lot
Lol no. No it does NOT YOU should not be watching this tbh... I wouldn’t watch this until you are finished.
@@factbeaglesarebest said 11 months later LOL
@@factbeaglesarebest i wish I had seen your comment. I'm on book 4 and heard a lot of stuff here i shouldn't know yet
@@solsar3011 the comment was for people who might currently just start reading it...
Thank you for doing this! I have read the series 10 to 15 times, and I never understood certain things as well as you have explained them. Thanks!!
OMG bro great vid i started watching it and had to restart cus i missed a few parts even tho i know the whole story u did a great job kept it up:D
Just started reading book 1, and I quickly fell in love with the Wheel of time. I can see it being a HUGE influence on my own epic fantasy series. Thanks heaps for this video!
This was my first epic fantasy series I “read” audiobooks is my way so I did it all in a few months constantly listing. It is truely epic. I was lucky to be so immersed rather than waiting years. Thanks to the recap.
Will you do the final empire in the mistborn series ?
Good work, man! I've read the whole series twice and still learned things in this video.
This is awesome! Great work! Makes it easier for me to understand the books
WOW this was amazing! So well done, you’re awesome! This helped me to put a better timeline to the events I’ve read about and really put everything into perspective. This is a great overview of the the world for fans and newcomers alike!
Dude! Well done. I wish Robert had let us know more about Tam and his role in the war.
The Tam Al’Thor Chronicles would have been a worthy prequel series. Perhaps even one written by a secondary writer in the same world, under the supervision of RJ and based on a brief outline - much in the way that the final three books were.
Think that was one of the planned spinoffs, if I recall correctly. Fairly sure Harriet said we weren't ever going to get those because there weren't enough notes, which is a pity. But then again, I don't think there could ever have been enough content written for this universe. If RJ had lived a thousand years it would only mean there were ten thousand other stories we wanted to get from him. Goddam master, I miss him.
@@DanzMcAbra right, could you imagine a collection of stories similar to the witcher books that details different Heroes of the Horn, that would be so fun
I would like to see a video of your note taking process in these larger series. I am starting the wheel of time, and very quickly realized that by the time I get to the end I may have forgot important details from the beginning. A good note taking video would benefit me and probably many other readers that are a little intimidated by these longer stories. Love your content!
That was really well done man! Thanks for the video!!!
Currently on Knife of Dreams when I found this. so good. please do more!
WOW, rough history. By the time the series starts humanity has already really been through it! Watching this after the Amazon series came out to gather more lore.
Read these books years ago and loved them - thanks for the recap inspiring me to try for a full re-read
I recently decided to watch some of your old WOT videos because of the hype on the TV show. (I've read the books before) This video was hypnotic, couldn't look away! There was a few pieces in there that I hadn't known before, so sweet!
Dude... fan-freaking-tastic video. I sent it to my buddy who was asking me questions about the series and I'm pretty sure I butchered it so hopefully this clears it up! lol
I already think WoT is fantastic (I'm on book 4) but the way you explained it makes me truly comprehend just how epic the story is. Thank you for such a great video
I am also currently on Book 4! Loving it! :D
This was exceptional! Absolutely wonderful :)
Totally loved this! Keep up the good work... so entertaining 👍
Loved the video and I look forward to future entries! For many reasons I dislike the interpretation that the WoT world is Earth, but that aside this was a nice summary. I am definitely looking forward to a _Malazan_ mythology/history video!
From what I understand Robert Jordan himself said that WoT is our world and that the events of WoT are the inspiration for our myths and legends and the events of our time are the inspirations for theirs.
Did you see that WoT just got greenlit by Amazon? Like officially!
Pretty Alright what do you mean? Like a TV adaptation?
@@JohnBurgess37 Yes Amazon is creating a Wheel of Time series
Yeah, we'll see. Amazon has "green lit" the project half a dozen times only to have it fall apart after some initial casting got hopes up. I'll believe it when I can't log in to my Amazon account without seeing adds for it.
Don't get your hopes up. Just look up the cast, I really don't think they are fitting the characters as how how they are described in the books....
Fantastic content Daniel, loved this!
LIterally have watched this video 3 times. So good and so helpful when reading through the books (my first read). Thanks for the great content!
