I’ve read the books multiple times. The first 6 books at least 10x. I was cautiously optimistic when I learned of the TV series. Though it starts off slow, as it has a lot of world building to do, it really finds it stride by the end of episode 4. Rosamund Pike is excellent as Moiraine and Sophie is every bit the Amyrlin Seat. Fantastic cast, beautiful scenery and an excellent adaptation of a complex story.
