Many good hellos!! I am Millon. A Der’Manshima Warder of the Cuendren. I have no idea how to see how long I’ve been here hahahaha. Long enough maybe? but not quite long enough. I started reading the series because my older brother was a jerk and got sick of me eaves dropping on him and his friends when they played D&D. So he handed me The Eye and I completely fell in. This was my intro into reading fantasy. I haaaaaaated the space between releases until I found this space. The debates, discussions, ART, theories in between each book and the post release discussions and ramped up furor. Was almost more enjoyable than the material itself lol. My favorite characters are Bayle and Egeanen Shipless and then Hurin. The moments we got with those characters, to me, were so well written. You got so much of their characters in such short spaces and better written than a lot of the main characters! lol. Like, when Bayle says “hey, you want to see all this cool stuff I collected?” Obviously not quoting lol but that moment of the gruff sailor bein vulnerable and showin his boyish collection and sharing why he became a captain in the first place are just great ways to flesh out the character. Egeanin, though you don’t get to see it happen “on screen” risking herself with being with Bayle and her struggle with breaking away from her culture. Hurin just bein the bestest goodest boy in all the series. Just great. He really was like a bloodhound made into a human.
light help me I just can’t with the show. Not a purest though! That’s not it all. I completely understand the need to make alterations for a screen. Absolutely. My dislike comes from changes that absolutely didn’t need to be changed. The symbolism of the entire lore had no need to be changed. The great serpent. Gone. The Trefoil leaf. Gone. The blight looking like a cut and paste graphic from an early 90s video game. The hill I will absolutely die on though is the absolute disrespect Tand has for that bow when he just TOSSES IT ASIDE LIKE A PIECE OF TRASH IN THE VERY FORST EPISODE. Awful. I bloody love the Shadowspawn and channeling though. Holy hell is that so. Damn. Good. lol
