I don't know a lot about it tbh. I know there is a video game, but I never played it. Maybe there are books too, dunno.
So I went at it blank, and it's really good.
coicidentally, i had planned on rewatching "raised by wolves" today, but didnt feel like it.
so i started the day with the "knife of dreams" prologue. and now im halfway through a different anime cartoon thing: Dota
when it first came out, i had stopped after 2 episodes. now im on 6 of 8
its not spectacular. buts fun. and they keep adding new interesting elements. so im hooked
plus, the Dota song was my jam back in the day

an hour ago, a friend asked me the same question about the stormlight archive and my response was that i dont like to rank since book 2 is a function of book 1. book 3 is a function of 1 and 2. etc
so i prefer to just think of it as a series. but the wheel is so long that i definitely can pick out weaker books, and thus, i guess ill admit to liking specific books
so in terms of the wheel of time...
first time through, i would have said the shadow rising (4) was my favorite until i got to the end
the fires of heaven (5) has a fun ending and lord of chaos (6) has an awsome ending. and knife of dreams (11) was awesome, especially compared to 7-10.
but brandson sanderson is my favorite author by a long shot. so 12-14 are my favorites
what about you?

yeh i reread it a month ago and was like, wait a second, i forgot how good this book was start to finish
so i hear ya
endings of books hold more weight to me. and great hunts was ending was great. especially a certain twist and the resolution to that twist which ties back to a scene in chapter 3 or 6 iirc. so thats awesome
but one of the final arcs to book 4 is one of my favorite arcs in the whole series (the character that goes mia for the next book lol)

@kaladin stormblessed I'm 70% through the fourth book (Kindle not Audible). I can confirm what @Lars and
Q
@Qat are saying about the show being a fucking terrible adaptation (actually idk if Qat said that but whatever).
Of course you like it though.
Of course you like it though.
the last 30% of book 4 has one of my favorite arcs in the whole series. enjoy!

The show is poop!
Fucking terrible isn't my choice of words, but it's not good.
Up to the final I was optimistic and it was in the "okay" bracket. The finale did it in.
Knowing now how massive their production problems were, I can see why. It basically was planned very different and they had to scramble to get anything on screen, thus it was a scrambled mess.
Imo it would have been better to postpone the whole season. Amazon put pressure up though.
Although it's not only on Amazon, for example the decision to waste a whole episode on a fringe char in Stepin when the main chars are underdeveloped, is baffling. Not that the ep was especially bad, it would have been fine in a 10+ ep season. But we only had 8. Simply not enough time to waste it like that.
We can only hope season 2 will be better.
I thought it was pump
Nobody knows what that means.
That is one of the things, yeah. But the whole episode was full of stupid shit.
From Lan doing nothing all episode, to
Perrin being forced to play in Mat scenes (with the dagger), to all badly staged poor visual battle scenes with zero military nor magic logic. I reckon none of this was supposed to be that way.
Maybe the only thing that was planned was Moiraine being "stilled". Since that gives the biggest star in the cast an actual reason to be prominent in season two. But I'm pretty sure the blight and the scenes at the eye were a fast scramble as well.
For sure is that they planned a big battle filming with many extras but weren't allowed to get to location due to covid n such. The result is what we got.

K @kaladin stormblessed when show writers have Eggy and Elayne kill all the Fades/Trollocs in the Stone of Tear: "Amazing episode!!!!!!"
the finale was at Fal Dara. not the Stone of Tear, silly
in my comment above, i was referring to the Two Rivers arc
