Tweeting as I read #WoT #WheelOfTime (not my first reaction; expect foreshadowing galore).

There will be Spoilers!

2021-10-12 Back on track now I hope :)

Following the news that @Amazon are going ahead with #WoT, I'm super excited and want a reread ahead of time! So I'm going to tweet the books step by step, weave by weave. Expect (careful) foreshadowing and spoilers (but only in narrative sequence so I don't spoil my own tweets)!

Ironic that The Wheel of Time books are about the dangers of fanaticism... Let that sink in! #SupportSarahNakamura #WoT #WheelOfTime #SadTimes

[Reader and Tweeter @ReadToTweet]

I #SupportSarahNakamura totally!
So absurd that we have to say it. People suck a lot of the time, that's why we have books! @sarahenakamura has helped make some of our favourite books into a great show and bring fantasy alive! If it has holes and flaws, name a show that doesn't!

Chapter 36: Feeling disinclined to sit around in the open #Smart #Rand goes to the #Library and is delighted to see hundreds of #Books! "The Travels of #JainFarstrider" and "Voyages Among the #SeaFolk" among them. #SoManyThreads

Chapter 36: #Mat is "tired" and obviously #Depressed; he just wants to stay in the room. He thinks all the others are dead and that everything they are doing is pointless. #Rand leaves him to rest and goes to chat with #BaselGill
#WoT #WheelOfTime #TheEyeOfTheWorld

Chapter 36: The serving girl flirts with #Rand (of course) and we get his usual #Insecurity and the wish that "he had Perrin’s way with girls" #TwoRiversDelusion #RandAndWomen
#WoT #WheelOfTime #TheEyeOfTheWorld

[Reader and Tweeter @ReadToTweet]

Yes, he is still being #Reactive and just focusing on the next step of getting to #TarValon (which #Mat does not seem to like so much) but at least he's not just curling up and waiting for help!

Chapter 36: It's good yo see #Rand starting to have a #SenseOfPurpose and not just blindly react. He tells #Mat "I intend to stay alive. I intend to find out why we’re so important. I won’t give up." #CharacterGrowth
#WoT #WheelOfTime #TheEyeOfTheWorld

[Reader and Tweeter @ReadToTweet]

This is particularly impressive considering his own fear and stress. He's shaking and having a very strong reaction to the conversation, especially the mention of #Rats.

Chapter 36: #Rand shows again what a good friend he is here and handles #Mat well, showing consideration for his increasing #Mentalillness. First he moderates his tone instead of being snappish and then responds "gently" to irrational paranoia
#WoT #WheelOfTime #TheEyeOfTheWorld

Chapter 36: #BaselGill is optimistic, he thinks #Darkfriends "won’t dare show their filthy faces in Caemlyn" because of the #Whitecloaks and #QueensGuards. Is he right? Does anyone ever think there's #Darkfriends around EXCEPT for #Whitecloaks?
#WoT #WheelOfTime #TheEyeOfTheWorld

Chapter 36: While #BaselGill is griping about his wife (Yin-Yang dynamics and male female friction as usual) he casually drops that there are #Rats in the inn (and everywhere in #Caemlyn)... #DarkOnesTouch?
#WoT #WheelOfTime #TheEyeOfTheWorld

Chapter 36: #BaselGill says #Rand is caught up in #Politics and "politics is a foggy mire full of snakes"! #Foreshadowing #TruerWordsNeverSpoken Time to wonder if the lads are listening...
#WoT #WheelOfTime #TheEyeOfTheWorld

Chapter 36: When #BaselGill warns the boys off #Elaida it doesn't seem like the usual #AntiAesSedaiSentiment he mentions some interesting rumours about her "feeling things" #Foreshadowing. Our #GoodQueensMan doesn't hate Aes Sedai for no reason
#WoT #WheelOfTime #TheEyeOfTheWorld

Chapter 36: On the other hand #BaselGill seems true to #Thom, "No bloody Darkfriend will make me turn my back on Thom’s friends." He says he'll hear if their friend from "up north" turns up.
#WoT #WheelOfTime #TheEyeOfTheWorld

Chapter 36: #Rand is finally learning to build a better lie. He can see the holes in it but at least it's enough to satisfy #BaselGill and move the conversation along. #Thom keeps coming up; it looks like being associated with him is trouble!
#WoT #WheelOfTime #TheEyeOfTheWorld

Chapter 36: We immediately get a sense of how sparse things are and how poorly things are going, even in the Capital. Rand is not impressed with his free meal! #NotFarmFare #TwoPotatoes #GiftHorse

Interlude Ends: After rewatching, seeing several Book-Readers' and Non-Readers' reactions and mulling it over, I'm very happy with Season 1. Look forward to Season 2 and deepening of some characters plus to see how the new arrivals play out! <3 #WoT #WheelOfTime #wotOnPrime

Rafe: it was a misunderstanding. the damane were ordered to wave to the girl, not fucking send her a tsunami wave

[Reader and Tweeter @ReadToTweet]

@unstable_simp01 A little flawed (in mainly minor ways like geography and some mechanics) but generally great. Overall, makes more sense than the book. One storyline far stronger than the other but we know what happened (Covid and Barney) and we should be sympathetic to the show runners :)

[Reader and Tweeter @ReadToTweet]

Interlude: Whooohoo! That was INTENSE!! Such a #Finale. I can't wait for Season 2! How soon? I'm a bit speechless... There are flaws but overall it was better than I could have hoped 😊
And that ENDING! #Swoon #MyWheelOfTime
