Jordan makes no real mystery about the identity of the Dragon Reborn, with readers swiftly able to deduce it is really the main protagonist and viewpoint character, Rand al'Thor.
Jordan plunges readers into a complex fantasy world with little explanation, introducing countless terms and concepts that he unpacks as the series goes on, meaning it would be pretty challenging for viewers who are unfamiliar with the books. While this may have been done for budget reasons - it involves sets that would never be seen again, and spectacular effects such as the raising of an entire mountain - in truth it makes narrative sense to skip the introduction. The opening of Wheel of Time is very different, omitting an introduction that sets up the Dragon.

" Everyone wants to tap into that audience." This has already led to some tremendous fantasy TV shows, including the likes of Shadow and Bone and The Witcher, and Amazon has signed up to launch a Wheel of Time series. But the success of Game of Thrones has revolutionized the fantasy genre, with studios and networks now competing to create long-form fantasy shows that can fill the void left now Game of Thrones has finished. " There’s a little bit of a gold-rush mentality coming off the success of ‘Game of Thrones," Marc Guggenheim, executive producer of Carnival Row, told The Wall Street Journal. The story was too vast and sprawling, the world too complex. Most readers assumed Wheel of Time would never be adapted, whether for the big or small screen. In the end, Wheel of Time came to comprise 14 weighty tomes, and it was actually completed by writer Brandon Sanderson after Jordan sadly passed away before finishing the series in 2007. The fantasy series that Jordan wrote was one of the most vivid and well-developed in the history of the genre, with complex character arcs in which teenage boys ultimately became mighty warriors. The result, however, was beyond anything even Jordan and Doherty imagined at the time. In 1984, fantasy writer Robert Jordan approached Tor Books with the idea of writing a new trilogy he called "The Wheel of Time." Tom Doherty, the head of Tor Books, had worked with Jordan before and knew he tended to get carried away when he was writing, so he hired Jordan for six books instead. Amazon's Wheel of Time may be inspired by Robert Jordan's classic fantasy novels, but the story has been rewritten significantly. Not for a moment did I think that → en ningún momento pensaba que.
