Talkie Tuesday: The Wheel of Time

 

"For the land is one with the Dragon Reborn, and He is one with the land." 

Hello everyone!

 

Welcome to tonight's hot topic of choice for this blog post.

 

I'm sure, if you've been following along my reviews for a while, you could probably see this coming, not to mention I practically said as much in a few of my earlier ones leading up to today.

 

But how can I NOT review what is quickly becoming one of the greatest fantasy adaptations in this day and age?

 

Sure it had a rocky start.

 

Sure it kind of stood on wobbly legs for the first season and a half.

 

But it's found the footing it was looking for now, and HOT DAMN is it sure footing.

 

Without further ado, let's dust off our Great Serpent rings and brace ourselves, because we're looking at the third season of The Wheel of Time.

 

Tome Thursday: Origins of the Wheel of Time

 

Hello everyone!

 

And welcome to this week's book of choice.

 

Now, I had another one lined up to review tonight, but then looked at the calendar and figured ... it's much, MUCH too early for it.

 

Because THAT book only releases in about three weeks.

 

This one's been out for years.

 

So I figured, let's switch things up a little and worry about the review later, shall we?

 

And if you've followed me for a while now, you'll know that I'm also someone who LOVES behind the scenes stuff.

 

I live for it.

 

The fact that we get to see glimpses into someone's creative process? Yeah, that's my jam.

 

Which means that without further ado, let's jump right into the Origins of the Wheel of Time.

 

Talkie Tuesday: The Wheel of Time

 

"The Wheel weaves as the Wheel wills."

 

Hello everyone!

And welcome, once again, to the many multiple turnings of this thing we like to call ... but wait, let's rewind slightly.

I'm a little late this year with my review of the second season to this show, partly because there's just been SO MUCH to catch up on, and partly because my job keeps me from keeping up as well as I used to while jobless.

Now don't get me wrong, I'm thankful to HAVE a job in the current climate, but it's true that you're severely hampered by this stuff LOL.

So anyway, I finally literally blew through the eight episodes of the second season, and MAN is the show getting better and better with each installment. It's like someone's been reborn on the turning of the Wheel or something.

Yep, I know you know what tonight's all about: the second season of Amazon's Wheel of Time adaptation!

Talkie Tuesday: The Wheel of Time

 

"There are neither beginnings nor endings to the turning of the Wheel of Time."

 

Hello everyone!

 

You know, I'm proud of myself.

I'm actually NOT as late to this shindig as I normally would be!

I mean, I'm still kinda late, but it's not six months or so late, only a month instead. This is an achievement as far as I'm concerned.

Considering the fact that we tend to not get these shows all that early to begin with (certainly not as early as our US or Canadian counterparts) I'm pretty pleased with how it all turned out. And I mean, it's catchy to look at, and has a second season already (currently) filming.

What more could you even want?

So without further ado I'm going to stop spinning yarn, and start weaving the One Power instead.

The Wheel of Time, show edition, is up for debate.

 

Tome Thursday: New Spring

 

Hello everyone!

 

With the premiere only one week away at this point (well, one week and a day), I figured it MIGHT be time to dig into the books, am I right?

 

I've never before read any of this series, though I've had them on my list for a while, so a new fantasy adventure seemed like just what the doctor ordered, given it's been some time since I've picked one up that I'd end up enjoying.

 

Did I enjoy this one? Well, the jury's still out on that.

 

See, I enjoyed the world building for the most part, and the magic, and the majority of the characters, but unfortunately the main one just rubbed me the very wrong way, something I wasn't expecting.

 

Usually, you like the lead character!

 

Not me, not in this book at least. However, I've been told by reliable sources that the continuation of the series serves up much better characterization along the way.

 

So here's to hoping!

 

Robert Jordan's New Spring, here we go.
