idk how you log a specific edition (if you can) on here but i read/listened ros pike's audiobook version (naturally)

i had seen the show (naturally) and only about 2 months and 10 days ago precisely i started this and i just had a real good time. it's so much more unique and rich in comparison to something i'm not even sure can be considered its live action adaptation. you get to go on the journey with the characters and feel the whole thing with them, you're right there with them every step of the way. rand al'thor i have grown fond of you

of course credits to rob jordan for writing it in an engaging way that felt easy even for a non fantasy reader like me. do i even have to say anything about ros' narration. insanely good doesn't even cover it. she was born to play moiraine btw

now onto the show rewatch and then i'll get stuck into book 2!!

the bar was set so high with EOTW and i think the only "issue" with this one is that the story and the stakes of the first one were so intense and like iconic that this was always gonna pale in comparison for the lack of a better word.

i enjoyed it though, especially the character development, especially rand - i just love how you're always right there with him. his journey becomes yours as well and rob jordan was so great at doing that. i like how the world expanded and how more and more characters join in and how it obviously sets things up for the future. it feels like one big family you know.

needless to say ros' narration was once again splendid, and the variety of voices and accents was superb. but who is surprised, she's one of a kind. her hurin is one of my absolute faves.

looking forward to dive into book 3, i know it's gonna be a good one for lord rand. let's go kid 🙏
