| quelqun | Howdy folks, anyone read any Robert Jordan? | 16:57:05 |
 @staunch_thomas:matrix.org | Hi.
Yes. | 16:58:32 |
| quelqun | I'm just starting out after a reaaaally long pause | 20:02:23 |
| quelqun | How was it after about book 8? I heard Sanderson did a good job | 20:02:38 |
| @staunch_thomas:matrix.org | The 9th and the 10th books might seem a little slow-paced for somebody. I enjoyed them, of course, because all those liittle details are what attracts me to "The Wheel of Time".
The next books are good, including the last three by Sanderson. The finale of the series was actually written by Jordan, so the Last Battle is grandiose. And the epilogue is part mystery, part a new beginning, kind of... | 20:24:36 |
| quelqun | Right, I'd heard there was going to be further stuff in that universe but then, well, he passed away | 21:43:05 |
| quelqun | And there will be a show adaptation apparently! | 21:43:17 |
| quelqun | Which is always exciting and heartbreaking lol | 21:43:31 |
| @staunch_thomas:matrix.org | Ah, yeah. Looling forward to the seeing the show. The last I heard about it was they'd cast Rosamund Pike as Moiraine. | 21:48:39 |
| quelqun | I'm excited too, and even more excited to read it all before the show begins | 22:03:41 |
| @maikie:matrix.org left the room. | 22:04:20 |
| @staunch_thomas:matrix.org | * Ah, yeah. Looking forward to the seeing the show. The last I heard about it was they'd cast Rosamund Pike as Moiraine. | 22:09:01 |

| @staunch_thomas:matrix.org | Have a great time!
I've recently read the graphic novels "New Spring" and "The Eye of the World" as a preparation (kind of) for the show just to refresh my memory. | 22:12:22 |
| quelqun | Ooh and how were they? I've never really gotten into graphic novels, though I loved Asterix comics as a kid | 22:17:35 |
| quelqun | Like big L LOVED | 22:17:59 |
| quelqun | And do you know when the show is releasing, and on what platform? | 22:18:13 |
| @staunch_thomas:matrix.org | I liked the graphic novels as a whole although the style of pictures/drawings differs from volume to volume. The style I liked the most is in "New Spring", it's the closest to how I imagined the things and the people when I was reading the books.
Some of the six volumes of "The Eye of the World" have kind of schematic/primitive drawings, lacking details, which I personally don't like.
I don't know about the release of the show. It's hard to tell, I guess, because of the current pandemic. | 22:30:06 |

| quelqun | Ah yes, Wikipedia says shooting started early this year but halted in March and no further date has been given. | 11:51:31 |
| @staunch_thomas:matrix.org | If you are interested, there is an unofficial pilot episode called something like "Winter Dragon". It was made without permission several years ago, and it stars Billy Zane.
And there is also a fan-made episode called "Flight from Shadow" based on one of the chapters of "The Eye of the World". | 12:50:29 |
