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.

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 totally get that. But when I say 'end,' I'm not talking about the story but the series.

I invested time into the show and I know that the decision to cancel it wasn't the fault of the actors or storytellers. I mean, it had the best ratings yet for s3.

One reason I'm glad I watched it was because they touched on lore elements that were so mysterious in the books. I always wondered what those things might be like and season 3 was able to show some of that with the time skipping sequences. Now I also have a representation of what an Eelfinn might look and act like. Would have been nice if the sequence were actually a whole episode though.

Anyway, no worries. I totally get it. 💜

    Definitely love the books and Rosamund Pike. 💜

    If I'm being honest, had I not read the book series, I probably would have stopped watching the TV show after a few episodes. It's the most expensive cheesy quality tv show made. It's as if day time soap operas and B cinema had a baby. 🤣

    As for the books, Jordan definitely borrows Tolkien themes early on. Things diverge pretty quickly as characters develop though. Jordan was an incredible world and character builder. So incredible that people wondered if he could ever finish the series. Haha. 😬
