Sanderson would go on to detail that he did love much of the Lan and Nynaeve scenes explaining, “I really loved the Lan/Nynaeve stuff all through these episodes.

And I feel this is not something book Nynaeve would do,” he concluded. Sanderson then questioned, “If you have her do things like this, what is going to separate her from Egwene and Aviendha, both of whom would totally have stabbed in that moment? I understand wanting a grittier story, but I feel contrast between the characters is important for distinguishing them. I personally feel this introduces her on the wrong foot,” he elaborated. “Sure, she’d kill a trolloc–but a man who is doing his best to explain himself? Even if she thinks he’s an enemy? Not a chance. This feels out of character for her in the books she is a healer to her core.” However, to give you fan reactions, I think they’re going to hate Nynaeve actually trying to kill Lan here. Sanderson would then address the characterization of Nynaeve specifically her attempting to kill Lan.Īs with the Tinkers he provided the feedback he originally gave to Judkins, “Some great dialogue in here.

Notice how like Game of Thrones we can be!’ That’s not letting it be itself, or be the Wheel of Time–which has light sequences, and characters who are genuine friends, and strong worldbuilding,” he added.

He told Rafe, “Do we have to make the people following the Way of the Leaf into ominous dark figures in ragged clothing with terrible dogs? I really feel like this one is going to rub fans the wrong way–and make the series try so hard to be dark and ominous all the time that it starts to be too much.” He then specifically addresses the introduction of The Tinkers providing advice he gave to Rafe Judkins about it. I think that there are times where this adaptation goes too far, mostly in character beats.” Sanderson then specifically addressed the show’s darker tone writing, “However–while I don’t mind a darker tone in general, particularly if it helps the series keep dramatic and emotionally charged–the Wheel of time is about hope. Sanderson began his blog post noting that he didn’t provide as much feedback on episodes three and four as he did for episodes one and two claiming that “these two episodes were already quite strong by the time they got to me, and I didn’t spot any major structural problems or character problems like I saw in the first two episodes.”Ĭopyright: © 2021 Amazon Content Services LLC and Sony Pictures Television Inc.ĭescription: Pictured (L-R): Rosamund Pike (Moiraine Damodred), Daniel Henney (Lan Mondragoran) Novelist Brandon Sanderson, who is a consulting producer on Amazon’s The Wheel of Time and the author who finished Robert Jordan’s epic masterpiece after he tragically passed away, took to his blog to express some concern about the show’s characterization of Nynaeve as well as the introduction of the Tinkers.
