First, I want you all to know that this series does not follow the same timeline as the books, it is much more condensed. And due to it being a different format, actor issues, and other situations, not everything that happens in the series happens in the books.
With that out of the way…
I really enjoyed watching this series. Two friends and I watched it together which gave me some good memories (<3). I love the opening, I love the animations for wielding the source/channeling, and while the pacing is fast, I do think it fits the urgency of the overall storyline, which is the world coming to an end.
As my friend pointed out at the end of the current season – there is so much that hasn’t been covered yet. Even though I have not read through all the books myself yet, I do agree. I’ve only read about half the book series and much of that was either skipped or not covered yet.
There is so much more left for a second season, which is supposedly in the works.
As for the current season, I’m hooked. I am interested to see what a second season will bring to The Wheel of Time.
