It’s a shame the show got canceled right when it found its footing, but hey, maybe the RPG will let us live out our own Wheel of Time adventures. Always bittersweet when a series leaves threads dangling, but at least the world’s rich enough for other mediums to pick up the slack.

Bummer that Wheel of Time got the axe just as it was hitting its stride—guess we’ll have to hope the RPG does the lore justice. At least Amazon’s track record with fantasy adaptations remains… interesting, to say the least.
