Keeping a promise to share my thoughts on wheel of time periodically!
If anyone reading this hasn't read it, there will be spoilers up to where I am in the books!
According to my audiobook app I am 42% through the great hunt, the second wheel of time book.
So far I am enjoying it a lot more than the eye of the world. Having time with the characters has helped a lot. I often found myself getting annoyed by the 3 main boys in the first book and the decisions they made. However, when the audio of the first book finished, there was an interview with Robert Jordan I listened to. I began to understand kind of the whole point of the books (at least as he said when this was recorded) was that the "chosen ones" really just had 0 interest in being any of that. With that in mind, I began to be less annoyed by the decisions Rand and the others would make.
I do have to say, I got very apprehensive when the concept of parallel universe things got introduced. Where I'm at Rand and the others just got back to their world, so I still don't know a ton. But with so much media these days having multiverses and parallel universes, my knee jerk reaction was definitely an eye roll. But we'll see how it plays out. I know the books are beloved, and I've really enjoyed them so far, so I'm optimistic.
Excited to keep listening!
Excited to keep reading!
There could be a new community. Although I think it's too specific for beehaw. It would probably need to be on another instance. There is the mastadon instance darkfriend.social, although idk if I could just post directly there from beehaw. Still learning this fediverse stuff
Oh for sure…I hear you on the fediverse stuff. I’m still trying to figure it all out myself!
