“Now an original series starring Rosamund Pike as Moiraine! Created with the cooperation of the Jordan estate, adapted by well-known comics writer Chuck Dixon and illustrated by the talented Chase Conley, The Eye of the World: The Graphic Novel has been hailed as an exciting interpretation of Robert Jordan’s classic fantasy novel. This volume features brilliant interior art by Andie Tong.

In The Eye of the World: the Graphic Novel, Volume Two, Rand al’Thor, Egwene al’Vere, and their friends flee their home village in the company of Moiraine and her Warder, Lan Mandragoran. Pursued by their enemies, the group seeks sanctuary in Baerlon. Rand’s nightmares grow darker. Moiraine takes Egwene under her wing. Lan warns them to trust no one, but should that distrust extend to Lan and Moiraine as well?”

The graphic novel adaptation of Wheels of Time TV series on Amazon Prime Video continues with a second volume. Our bunch of heroes escapes again the Myrdraal’s trollocs army at Taren Ferry (witnessing how ruthless Moiraine can be) and avoid the sight of the Draghkar. They finally can rest at Baerlon where they all learn a little more about their journey. Rand meets Ba’alzamon in his dream, get acquainted with the seer Min and the group have their first encounter with the White cloaks. However, their enemies are getting closer…

The adaptation seems quite faithful to the novels. As the storytelling is good and the art is rather standard comic style (however much better than the first volume), it makes for a good and entertaining reading. An excellent choice if you want to avoid reading the lengthy novel series and cannot wait for the next season of the TV series…
