Not bad, they're definitely changing some things which is fine.

But as I think I've already said the downside of that is lazy writing. For example when Rand asks Moraine how she knows he'll channel when threatened, she says an Aes Sedai beat her until she channeled to save herself.

Which of course goes completely against the Three Oaths, which I'm pretty sure they mentioned earlier since they've said repeatedly that Moraine can't lie.

So stuff happening rather than feeding and reenforcing the worldbuilding and feeling like there's rules and risks just feels like a bunch of crazy stuff happening.

Overall I guess it's fine, but I was hoping for more. When I think back to how much impact some of GoT had this is a shadow. Hopefully it improves.
