I am so happy to hear that you really enjoyed S2 and that you understood what was going on despite not having read the books. I fell in love with S1 two years ago and then read through the entire series, so understanding the major points and where it needs to go, I understand why things were changed for the adaptation.

The idea that the women have the power (for the most part) was what drew me to WoT in the first place and I totally adore how much emphasis has been placed on Alanna and her warders.

Season 3 is almost done with filming, so fingers crossed we get to see it without quite so long a wait this time. I already cannot wait!
