The Wheel of Time full trailer is here. The Wheel of Time begins on Amazon Prime on November 19th, with the first three episodes dropping. Blood and bloody ashes doesn’t it look good from this trailer ?
Of course there will be some purists that don’t like some of the changes being made here from the source material. For one clearly Moiraine thinks the Dragon reborn could be an of the Emond’s Field Five. That was certainly not the case in the books, and I kinda like that two of those 5 had other reasons for leaving home. I also wonder if that means Nynaeve is going to be the same age as the other four instead a of a few years older?

The thing is, based on the mythology of the series, I actually don’t mind quite a few changes here. It feels like this is another turning of the Wheel instead of a true adaptation of the books. In that way I am prepared for some surprises despite being a recent reader of the books. One thing I loved for example was the Whitecloaks looking like much better antagonists than they were in the books. You can see Aes Sedai rings like trophies and I’m sure they’re burning a ‘witch’. Blood and bloody ashes indeed.
Perhaps some of the content that was implied off-screen in the books may come more to the front and I’m interested for sure. I’d also encourage anyone that doesn’t immediately love the first episode to stick with it. I gotta be honest and say I was wondering what all the fuss was after the first book. However, this is a story that does get better and deeper as it goes on.
What did you think of The Wheel of Time full trailer? Will you be checking out the show come November 19th? Has my own words convinced you to give it a shot even if the first few episodes don’t draw you in? Leave any thoughts below.
