Not sure I agree with this. There were definitely a number of changes, but the spirit of the book and the characters was pretty much identical.

To me the big problem with ep 1 is the pacing and lack of time to really set up the story.

People seem to forget GOT had 10 episodes and a much more linear story to tell in season 1 with little to no magic or other fantastical things. It was pretty much just 3 families struggling for political power. This is much different with fewer episodes.

Eh, I didn't get much spirit of the book at all with the characters except maybe Rand.

Egwene didn't have any hard headedness/independent spirit. Perrin was married so you didn't get any normal feel to his character. Matt was a hero type character with no goofy/silliness in him.

Not sure why Morainne and Lan would just let the trollecs come and destroy the town before they start fighting. They were taken by surprise in the book, they just kind of knowingly sat there and let them march in and not warn the people of danger.

Her healing was just free of charge. Like there was no "If I do this, there will be a price to pay" vibe.

No Tom Merrilin/Gleeman at all. That was surprising.

I got very few book vibes, almost none at all, much less being identical.

It's unfortunate that it's constantly going to be compared to GoT.
