The Wheel of Time Video Shows Amazon Series Bringing Words to Life
Wednesday is turning out to be a day for good news/bad news scenarios (sorry, we're still a little torn about The Walking Dead news). Sadly, this week marked the last installment of "The Wheel of Time on Amazon Prime Book Club"- a weekly deep-dive into Robert Jordan's works so that readers can be ready for the streaming service's adaptation. On the plus side, the meeting didn't officially adjourn without a little "parting gift" in the form of the following teaser showing how Jordan's words are being brought to life- a very good sign for fans and those working on the series combined.
Here's a look at the clip, accompanied by some very appropriate wordplay from Thom Merrilin (Alexandre Willaume in the series):
