Exciting Twist Ahead: A Key Wheel Of Time Character Set for a Unique TV Show Finale
Prepare for a thrilling deviation from the known path as a major character in Wheel of Time ventures into a new ending on the TV show. Anticipate surprises and divergent narratives that promise a fresh viewing experience.
One character in The Wheel of Time is already set to have a different ending in the TV show compared to the original source material. Amazon Prime Video's adaptation has made various changes to Robert Jordan's 14-book series in its first two seasons. While most alterations do not seem to significantly impact the overall storylines of the characters in The Wheel of Time.
Many changes made to the books are considered minor in the grand scheme of things. For instance, in season 2, Mat's involvement in the search for the Horn of Valere was removed, yet the season still concluded with him using it at Falme, mirroring events from The Great Hunt. This trend seems to apply to several other storylines as well. However, the case of Liandrin stands out as her storyline in the TV show is notably different from the books, indicating a new ending awaits her character.

Liandrin, much like the character portrayed in Amazon's show, was a deceitful member of the Black Ajah who posed as a Red Sister at the White Tower. She worked under the command of the 13 Forsaken in The Wheel of Time, tirelessly opposing the Dragon Reborn by betraying Elayne, Nynaeve, and Egwene to the Seanchan in The Great Hunt. Throughout The Dragon Reborn and The Fires of Heaven, she appeared as a recurring villain, but curiously, her story was left unresolved, with her final appearance in the prologue of book 11, Knife of Dreams.
During this time, Liandrin found herself in servitude to Lady Suroth, the leader of the Seanchan. In Knife of Dreams, Lady Suroth punished Liandrin for killing Alwhin by ordering her to be beaten. Liandrin accepted her punishment, but mysteriously vanished from the books thereafter. Although Lady Suroth was removed from power in Knife of Dreams, the fate of Liandrin remained unaddressed.

It's clear that in The Wheel of Time, Liandrin's character arc is being developed in a different direction from the books. The show has significantly increased her importance to the narrative by incorporating elements from both her original story and parts of Elaida's. This has allowed her to play a key role in White Tower politics and assist the Forsaken, making her a substitute for Elaida as a dissenting voice.
The series is expanding Liandrin's presence in a way that suggests she won't be abruptly written out of the story. While her fate remains uncertain and a shocking twist could potentially lead to her demise in an upcoming season, the show has set the stage for a more definitive conclusion to her character. Whether through death or redemption, it seems inevitable that Liandrin will receive a proper ending that offers closure to her storyline, a departure from the unresolved nature of her character in the books.

Liandrin may not disappear as a slave to Lady Suroth, and there's a chance she may not even end up in that situation at all. The Wheel of Time has created opportunities for her to make different choices as the story progresses. Her interactions with Lanfear suggest that she will now be under her command. Following the guidance of a Forsaken who acts in her own self-interest, rather than the Dark One's, could lead Liandrin to make decisions not predetermined by the books.
There is a possibility that Liandrin may attempt to change her behavior. Despite her betrayal of the girls to the Seanchan and the difficulty of breaking free from the Black Oaths, the TV show's portrayal of her desire to save her son and her relationship with Nynaeve offer a glimmer of hope for redemption - a possibility that was not present in the books. With The Wheel of Time season 3 set to depict the hunt for the Black Ajah in Tanchico, we may soon discover if Liandrin is truly open to transformation.
The first two seasons of The Wheel of Time are available to stream on Amazon Prime Video.
