IS THE PATTERN UNRAVELLING? Review of Season 1 of the Wheel of Time

As you may know, most fantasy stories follow a universal structure known as the hero’s journey.

Preview of a painting of The Eye of the World featuring Josha Stradowski as Rand Al'Thor

The Wheel of Time TV series is back in filming and I’m feeling some excitement about the show. I’m jumping into some commissions now so I’ll […]
