The Wheel of Time (Amazon)
I didn't see a thread for it, but could have sworn there was. If I missed it just merge them, please.
Ten days away now! I haven't finished this book series, but plan to start over and reread it again before starting books 12-14 in the next year or two. It's only 4.5 million words, after all.
Hoping for the best here. Certainly a lot of material (can't really get bigger) for a TV show to tackle. I just listened to the soundtrack available (all vocal tracks) by Lorne Balfe, whom I've enjoyed since early on, and it's pretty good so far.
“Gods are great ... but the heart is greater. For it is from our hearts they come, and to our hearts they shall return.” “We were like gods at the dawning of the world, & our joy was so bright we could see nothing else but the other.” “There are three things all wise men fear: the sea in storm, a night with no moon, and the anger of a gentle man.” “You have to pretend you get an endgame. You have to carry on like you will; otherwise, you can't carry on at all.” "Paper is dead without words / Ink idle without a poem / All the world dead without stories."

Re: The Wheel of Time (Amazon)
I liked Eye of the World, and The Great Hunt, but lost interest during the third book and did not finish it.
Hoping the series is good so I can complete the story that way.
Between The Expanse, The Boys, The Wheel of Time, next years Lord of the Rings 2nd Age show, and Amazon nearing a deal withe EA to adapt Mass Effect as a series, they pretty much have my money for the next ten years. That's not even considering their purchase of MGM, which includes Stargate. In fact, if I had to choose only one, I'd probably take Prime over Disney+, though I would miss Star Wars and Marvel.
I loved Ep. 4 of The Wheel of Time.

Re: The Wheel of Time (Amazon)
I'm waiting for all 8 episodes to be released before watching them.
I listened to the rest (or at least what's available) of the soundtrack this past week and it's great.

The first three episodes were fine. Then I lost interest.
That's like saying I liked the beginning with the hobbits, but when they got to Rivendell I lost interest.

Re: The Wheel of Time (Amazon)
The first episode was decent but the following three put me to sleep and I never finished the fifth. Will try again after reading the first book.
