    Just finished reading the books. But i started book one and season 1 together and quickly saw they were completely different. But i watched the show first and it cemented how characters looked which is what i wanted before i read it.

    After finishing all 14 and now on new spring im glad the show gave me direction to imagine a lot of them.

      Yeah the casting and costuming was pretty good for the most part with the very slight exception that I felt Rosamund Pike was a bit tall for the diminutive Moiraine. Apart from that I loved how faithful they were to the characters’ descriptions even if they did go wildly off the rails with the story.

        Well i never knew the audio book was done by moiraine herself. But i do ageee, especially after just finishing new spring tonight everyone mentioned how short she was and i never thought to much of that difference while reading the books. I guess when she got her ageless face no one spoke to much of it.
