I just logged in and saw the trailer for this sitting on top of my Prime Video home page.

I have been a huge fan of the Robert Jordan books since being introduced to them while I was in College. Book 7, A Crown Of Swords, had just been released. I started at the beginning and devoured all 7 books with gusto! (D@mn, you bet.
(Jonathan Richman reference ).)
And then as the remaining several books trickled out I would read the series again from scratch... Until the bitter end. Jordan died in 2009 with the "final installment" of the story still out there in creation-land. The "penultimate" novel was published in October 2005.
Jordan had amassed a great source of notes and maps and partially written chapters, as I understand it. His wife, Harriet, and Tor Books, announced in Dec 2007 that Brandon Sanderson would finish the epic Jordan had started with the original novel published in 1990. He had joked over the years that the finale would only be one novel and that Tor would have to invent a new way to bind the book due to it's promised length.
Well... It took 4 years for Sanderson to publish the first of the final trilogy of books with The Gathering Storm in October 2009. Towers Of Midnight landed in 2010, and finally in January of 2013 A Memory Of Light brought the journey to its end.
There have been teases of movies and mini-series over the years...
But now.
It is here.
So stoked!
