What does "&c" mean? It's an old-fashioned abbreviation for et cetera.

Question - Did the TV series 'Wheel of Time' do the book(s) justice?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

IMO, yes, it was a good first season with some flaws that will hopefully be improved upon just like the first book was good (not great) and definitely improved upon by subsequent entries.

I've read the series 3 times, and am on my 4th read (book 9) right now. Having re-read book 1 in 2019, I had a pretty clear memory of it when the show premiered and was glad to see some repetitive and inconsistent content from book 1 cut and replaced with more integral subject matter (e.g., the warder bond).

Overall, I am most happy to see the world and characters introduced to a larger audience, who seem to be finding the books in the lull between seasons. I also typically give adaptations plenty of leeway to tell the story in a way that works for the new medium. I am psyched to see how they did with season 2.
