The Wheel of Timemay adaptRobert Jordan’s novels, butthe series has had to make some changes.

The added cliffhanger creates tension for Season 2, but it was unnecessary.

Worse, once the characters understand the truth, the obstacle is overcome in a matter of moments.

What’s Different About Moiraine’s Journey in ‘The Wheel of Time’ TV Show?

Their separation looks different in the show, taking away from Moiraine’s goals.

Yet, instead, she was mourning the loss of her abilities.

That would free Moiraine to deal with more pressing matters.

Overall, the plotline is unnecessary and too easily resolved to matter in the long run.

Though close friends in the books, Moiraine and Siuan are not in love as they are on-screen.
