I know, it's not the books. Not even close, but someone finally made a series. It was painful at times, but it grew on me. And now... it's done. Worse still, I've learned it was cancelled.

sighs

I feel so sad. I wanted to see where it went. But alas, another show cancelled.

Well... I've been wanting to re-read the 15 books. Maybe now is the time.

What about you all? Did you feel the love-hate as well? Are you sad? Indifferent?

I wasn't a huge fan of the way they bastardized the source material. I grew up reading that series and despite its flaws, it holds a special place for me. I had been hoping for a good adaptation of it, whether it be TV, movie series, or video game(s). I didn't have super high hopes for the show, but I was really hoping they would be more faithful to the source.

It wasn't all bad. They did manage to hit most of the major plot points. I will say that I was supremely disappointed with the scene where Rand encounters Turak in S2. That's always been one of my favorite parts of the early books, and they just tossed it in the trash.

Anyway, this comment has gone on far longer than I planned. So while I'm a bit sad that the series is canceled, at least RJ can stop spinning in his grave over what they did to his baby.

I was also disappointed with the whole Turak part, but making Uno bound to the Horn of Valere was a nice addition.
