You think so? It was like hey we need to get to a macguffin once they got back together. For most of the book we thought they were going to Tar Valon...i was surprised initially
Very well done review Godporeal! Music was well selected and well placed. I love this book, it is such a good feeling to dive into this one after completing a read through of the entire series (or at least the Jordan books) and realizing how much more you are picking up on as far as details and easter eggs. Look forward to more of your WoT (book) content!
I read the eye of the world when I was 13 and was hooked. At the time the first 7 books were out. So waiting on the rest of the series was a pain (especially the “slog” run). In the early days of the internet I ran a yahoo rpg wheel of time group. Made a lot of great friends there and told some great fan fiction rpg type stories with them. We also worked on a wheel of time MUSH / MUDD (if anyone knows what those are lol). I met Jordan once at a gaming convention and got my copy of Lord of Chaos signed (since has been lost 😢) and had a couple of awesome and hilarious interactions with him. 😂 It was surreal to read the last book of the series when Sanderson finished the series. I always thought Jordan got greedy and stretched the series out by a couple books, not to mention New Spring (tho I enjoyed it) and the two other prequels he was somewhat working on. Nevertheless, the wheel of time left an imprint on my life in a very positive way. Becoming an adult along with Rand, Matt, and Perrin was formative for my growing up and thus the books hold a special place in my heart. Amazon and Rafe Judkins have turned this timeless story into a modern day, woke, boring piece of sub mediocre, assembly line, CW-level television show. And they done so nefariously and with deception and confrontation toward a wonderful fan base. And I’m here for the backlash and retaliation! 😊
not sure how many others feel, but the TIME at which he starts the setting of the series is pretty well used imo the world feels like it has a history, the different nations feel pretty distinct, especially later I hope you enjoy the read. it isnt perfect, it has MANY HUMONGOUS flaws... but the plot and most of the characters are worth the time investment.
I am not as into it as ASOIAF and don't find the world nearly as interesting. Whats keeping me going is the characters and the developments. That being said, I am not far at all so I may change my mind about this. At least this series was completed.
I am very glad you are sharing the love for these books with all of us! Great start looking forward to much more and looking forward to many discussions as you read further into the series! Well Done!
Mat is the best character and has the best story arc through out the entire series, fight me Egwene almost could have been amazing.... too bad she gets hampered by the same idiocy Robert jordan and his wife were trying to do with the (at that time) strong female character. if you keep reading you might notice that the plot opens up. Robert jordan was originally limited by book contracts, the first book was ALMOST stand alone, its success got him 3 more, their success got him 2 more? then they basically told him just write till you die... which he did.
I have noticed. I am on The Shadow Rising. Dude, check out my book streams I did. There are 12 streams going in depth on the first three books. I am surprised you missed them! Lot of my talking points come from those. My reactions are on those and they are genuine. I made a playlist. Look up Nerdporeal Wheel of Time Playlist
Once you get used to the purple prose, you don't read it anymore, but you only see that in your mind, as if you're the one walking and looking. Btw, nice work with the FF soundtrack 👊
I dont know if you spotted the chrono trigger track as well. Purple prose and plot armor have me a little concerned. Im worried my interest will be exhausted.
Great video, my friend. Excellent analysis and personal experience with the series. I’m so glad that so many people have either gone back to the books or started reading them for the first time… that’s one good thing to come out of the absolute abomination and non-adaptation on Amazon Video
@@NerdporealI got into the series a few years back, it was actually what got me back into fantasy literature after I’d taken a along break from it. As for what the series means to me, it is easily one of my favorite series of all time, and it helped get me through a lot of dark periods in my life. I also think that the lessons in the series taught me to be a better person, and so I’d probably be very different if I had never read WOT.
Great video buddy , love the passion and excellent review ! My Wheel.of Time journey began when I saw the Amazon trailer and I thought it looked good .how wrong was I !!! I was on Shadow Rising when it came out and I raged so hard and felt upset for long time fans that they had disrespected Robert Jordan ! I have now read through the series 4times im on the 5th read through now the cleanse my memory of Treason 2! It such a fantastic journey , fantastic characters and it made me laugh and it made me cry along the way ! I adore it ! I look forward to you reviewing the great hunt ! Stay awesome !!!!!👍
Fortune rides like the sun on high
With the fox that makes the ravens fly
Luck his soul, lightning his eye
He snatches the moons from out of the sky
Sounds like Mat. Are the moons ladies of the night....?

if just counting up to when moraine shows up in camlyn it would be my fav book. post camlyn was rushed felt like a deadline

@@Nerdporeal i still liked it but everything just happened so fast.

Thank you sir. I definitely plan to do more wot content amongst many other projects. Expect a TGH one around the time the season ends.
This video warms my soul. 😊
Wow, i didnt think i could accomplish this! Go me! TGH will likely be out by the finale

I figured since your channel was made around wheel of time, i figured i should read it and share the pain that the Amazpn show has brought.
Nerdman your little edits are awesome bro, great breakdown man
Thank you AL Dan! Great Hunt should be out before S2 is over. Something to wipe that horrible taste out of everyones mouth
Mat is the best character and has the best story arc through out the entire series, fight me

Dude, you killed your first book retrospective! What a great set of takes :cl
Thank you Nathan. TGH i plan to get out before or around the S2 finale.

Thanks Salty. Its a true shame because the moments in the books would be a treat to watch on either the big or small screens.
Nice review man!
Dude, tell me how you got into this series. What does it mean to you?
