Ok, maybe a warm take, but Jordan’s books are not great. The first 2-3 are great. But then it fucking drags. Sanderson does a decent job wrapping things up, but there is so much fucking fluff that was just unnecessary.

I will, however, protest having Padin Fain be a Forsaken. That was a definite misstep imo. Fain is supposed to be a chaotic 3rd party who can use the tools of the Forsaken but is explicitly not aligned with them.

Otherwise, season 2 was a big step up from s1. Haven’t gotten around to s3, since it got canned.
