    I haven’t read the books, but I had heard a lot of great things about them. To me the show is quite boring with a pretty unbalanced cast. The performances are not memorable. I found it very difficult to get invested in the story or the characters.

    After the first few episodes, I nearly gave up on it, but decided to pick it back up a few months later. Well that was a bad idea, because I was even more lost and couldn’t remember a single relevant plot point. I eventually caught myself back up, but it wasn’t worth it imo.

    Even now when I’m thinking back on it, I’m not actually convinced if I’m remembering parts of Wheel of Time or if I’m really remembering scenes from Shadow and Bone. It’s that forgettable.

      The books start great, but around book six, The Lord of Chaos, it turns into a fucking slog until book 11 or so. I fucking HATE Salidar.
