    Reading gets much easier in the Sanderson books. A lot less work to move the plot along.

    (because Sanderson is a much better writer than Jordan)

    The only problem was he changed Matt a little, for the worse. Which he admits.

    Last few books are some of the best fantasy books I’ve ever read.

    I’ve never seen a bigger collection of arrogant dumbasses in a book series like the Aes Sedai holy shit

    Tiste Liosan in Malazan are a contender too, but they aren't as relevant so Aes Sedai win

    200 pages into A Memory of Light. The Sanderson WOT books might be the best fantasy I’ve ever read, I’m fucking flying through this

    It will be awhile before I’m able to emotionally invest in a big book series again but eventually I’m going to have to read some Sanderson.

    The 3 Sanderson books are up there with LOTR and Malazan as the best fantasy I’ve ever read

    After sleeping on it I have now come to the conclusion that finishing the books has just made me more upset about the show

    I got those sitting on my shelf. Thinking about diving into those after I catch up on all of Joe Abercrombie's stuff

    Looks encouraging from the little bit we see.
    -First look at Lanfear
    -Glad they are establishing Ishamael as his own self quickly and not as Ba'alzamon/Dark One
    -12 forsaken at the table. That surprised me a lot. Thought they would cut down and maybe blend together some of them.
    -I'm hopeful for it getting better because we're getting into the meat and potatoes now instead of set-up. Getting the Aiel and Seanchan in there is much needed

    Just seems like they’re straying so far from source material for no reason.

    How many seasons will this get before it gets cancelled? The storyline feels disjointed as fuck. Not all the books were that great, but feels like they could’ve improved on it and shortened some storylines instead of veering so far away.

    The Falcon And The Winter Soldier’ Director Kari Skogland Set For ‘The Wheel Of Time’ Origins Movie; Eva Longoria To Exec Produce

    BAFTA winner and Emmy nominee Kari Skogland has been set to direct live-action feature The Age of Legends, the first installment in the planned trilogy of films that will explore the origins of Robert Jordan’s bestselling book series The Wheel of Time.

    Screenplay comes from Thor, X-Men: First Class and Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous scribe Zack Stentz.

    Set several millennia before the timeline of the books, The Age of Legends will chart the emergence of “the Dark One.” when the world descended into darkness and war. The film will delve into the corrosive nature of power and pride, as seen through the tragic tales of the Forsaken – once honored leaders who fell victim to the Dark One’s seduction, each personifying distinct elements of human weakness and ambition. The story will also portray the valorous sacrifices of unexpected heroes who rise against the Dark One to defend humanity in the face of overwhelming odds.
