I forgot to add in my previous post that what I find perhaps the most off-putting is the dog’s breakfast that has been made of the order of events. This is not a complete dealbreaker for me, but it is discouraging.

I too feel the writers should have kept more closely to the books. The characters are but a shadow of those created by Robert Jordan. I have to forget that I have read the series several times in order to enjoy Amazon’s production. Peter Jackson did an amazing job of maintaining the integrity of Tolkien’s writing. It is sad that the makers of Wheel of Time could not be as dilligent.
