Hi Everyone,

I'm really new here and I've enjoyed that wonderful ground-based heated exchange you shared. It is entertaining to say the least because to me it's the clearest reflection that we are all incredibly passionate about this story.

That said, I was simply hoping just to share my experience, that has a little twist from the title of the thread, given that I was the one watching with someone who had read multiple times, all the books. 

So my great uncle got me into reading science fiction literature when I was 7, and everything he shared I read, till he tried to slip in the EoTW and unfortunately mentioned there were 14 books. I just didn't know how to commit to that kind of thing 5 years ago. Anyway the show came, and by the end of episode 3 I was completely hooked, so I called him (we live in different countries now) and he simply reply that he hated it. I heard him week after week, and much of what he angrily blurted out, you already said in your comments, but the truth is, that the show was what made me finally grab the books right that first day and finish AMoL a few months later.

Now I have my own little book club amongst friends and mates from work who are on a nice normal pacing reading as well, and we are already discussing the changes made and theorizing about what else could be changed.

Sorry for this incredibly long post, but i guess the only thing i wanted to say is that i probably (most likely) see myself and my friends ranting fervidly about what Rafe ends up doing, however right now.. i'm kind of happy/grateful i got to be interested enough to finally "gift" myself this story!

Have a wonderful day! ?

P.S: sorry if some idea didn't go through right, this is not my first language and sometimes i fail to convey what i really mean.

Dear All,

I'm Fio, just new to the WoT world. started and finished the books in the lapse of 2 months and proceeded to consume everything WoT related Books/Show- that brought me here. BTW Enjoyed beyond words all the exchange!

I Just wanted to add that the comment about a Death at the end of season 3, was made by Jafe in an interview with the cast displayed in NY comic con. ( https://youtu.be/EEK2vUX7IIw in case the link doesn't work you can find it in the prime video youtube page) and around min 33:00 they talk about people on set who haven't read the books and don't want to be spoiled, hence his response.

Best to all!
