And when I understood this, I was able to read on – wincingly, and on the edge of my seat.įalling deeper into the book is was a joy – not only did Brandon manage to capture the characters -even Aviendah- perfectly, but his understanding of the world and the story came through gloriously. He had to become harder and darker and ruthless. Like Min and Cadsuane, I didn’t want to acknowledge the fact that pressure -and who has more immense pressure on him than the Dragon Reborn- changes a person rand could not be the same person he was when we met him on the Quarry Road. I’m not saying that Brandon didn’t capture him, that Brandon totally destroyed the character – I’m saying that, in a way, I didn’t want this to be the rand I knew and liked. I really came to like Rand, to commiserate and sympathize with him, but this Rand… This Rand was not the Rand I knew. In my opinion, the best of all previous Wheel of Time prologues!Īnd then you read further… Rand takes center-stage, and this Rand is dark and brooding and, worryingly, terrifying. The prologue, in which a farmer we have never met before decides to pack up and move towards the building storm -to do his part in the battle that is coming- was an incredible piece! This section, more than any other, really brought home to me how close Tar’mon Gaidon is, and sets the tone for The Gathering Storm as well as The Towers of Midnight and A Memory of Light. So it is Robert Jordan’s book, and it most definitely is a worthy Wheel of Time book. Brandon Sanderson worked off notes, worked with Harriet and Mr Jordan’s assistants, to write this book. It is his book, but he did not write it because he, very sadly, died. Robert Jordan did not write this book! I’m just trying to make you few who might hate this book understand that. Is any negative response towards the book justified, when taking into consideration that Robert Jordan was unable to write this book? If you were looking for a book written by Robert Jordan, there are plenty to choose from, including some westerns, but The Gathering Storm is not one of those books. Some of you might be thinking, Huh? That’s obvious! But think about this a little. Until, that is, I realized the most important thing – this was Robert Jordan’s book, but he did not write it. I will admit that I was a bit worried about the book after I read the first chapter posted at Tor.com I immediately picked up that this wasn’t Jordan, and my instinct was to be a bit put out and disappointed. Practically a month and a half after it was published worldwide, but I did get it. So, I finally managed to get a copy and read it. We couldn’t be happier to give fans more reasons to be excited about the show and bring more The Wheel of Time to our customers worldwide.This review was originally posted over at Realms & Galaxies: Celebrating SFF on the 14th of December 2009. Season 1 resonated with the most loyal of Jordan devotees, as well as the uninitiated, who were experiencing this incredible world for the first time, proving this is a show that truly stands out in the genre space. “ The Shadow Rising has always been my favorite book in the series, so being able to bring it to television and introduce new audiences to the stories that made me fall in love with these books in the first place is such an honor, and something I’ve been working toward since I first pitched the show years and years ago.”Īdded Vernon Sanders, head of global television at Amazon Studios: “We are so excited to dive deeper into the world of The Wheel of Time with Rafe Judkins and his team, who have done such a marvelous job of honoring Robert Jordan’s vision and delivering an incredible viewing experience to Prime Video customers. “I’m so thrilled that we’ll be making a third season of The Wheel of Time,” said Judkins.
