Sounds about right now that you mention it. Time for a re read I guess.. :)

  As always :P me and my husband will be starting our first WoT reread together (I got him into the books after he loved the show), just as soon as we finish the current series we're on, which is Children of Time by Adrian Tchaikovsky. Absolutely fantastic series.

    Hm... might have to check that out as well, I love sci fi too.. Hopefully he likes the books more than the show, hah.

      Children of Time is incredible, I would consider it the best sci-fi novel I've ever read in a similar way to how I consider Wheel of Time the best fantasy series I've ever read. As for books vs show, in my opinion it's way too early to tell. Both me and him agree that the first season was significantly better than Eye Of The World, but because the later books are much better than EOTW I think the show will need to increase in quality significantly to be better than those later books - I'm excited for season 2, but in season 3 they're tackling the story of The Shadow Rising, which is probably my favourite book in the series. It's an open question in my mind if they can improve quality and characterisation enough to match that bar, although either way I'm going to enjoy it. And more importantly, I think it's not as important to judge them on a season vs book basis, because the reality is the show can't really be judged fairly against a completed book series until it is itself a completed television series. Once they're both finished (aka once I'm an old granny), I expect I'll have a much clearer idea of which rendition of the story I ultimately prefer. I know I'll definitely be talking about it with my husband a lot lol.
