Hopeful, because I could use another good fantasy show. I read the books...but boy. It was a struggle...even for the earlier books that were better (until Sanderson picked it up). Few authors have said so little with so many words as Robert Jordan. The show just has to be better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Need to get back to it again. But I’m always worried about starting a series that hasn’t finished yet. Made the mistake with GOT, and then The Name of the Wind. So, two things: With book one, if you get confused as to what's just happened about 1/4 - 1/3 way in, that comes with the territory. I remember the first time I read TWoK and hit the first break, I was like ... wait ... is this a different book? Stick with it. It will make sense. Sanderson is probably closer to Martin than Rothruss in that Sanderson has a ton of projects gong on. In Sanderson's defense, he generally follows through with his projections unlike Martin. Every December, he publishes an annual "State of Sanderson" based on here various books are in the process and where his focus for the coming year is. https://www.brandonsanderson.com/state-of-the-sanderson-2020/ had him starting work on Book 5 around January 2022, with a publication target of August 2023. Only other series I can think of that is this massive that regularly churns out book is the Expanse. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it makes me even more upset at Rothrusd for not finishing the series. Just write a fourth book if he can’t finish the story in three.

Mat is arguably the most likable character in the series. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a spot they could change over the actor and it would actually work thematically. Okay, technically two, but I am assuming that they would the first will be midway through season one. Otherwise, they would seriously be slow rolling the series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still has lots of potential…but the Mat character is REALLY important Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a high risk move, but if the guy wasn't working out, better to make the move quickly than wait. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything with vaguely middle age themed warfare and/or magic is going to be billed as the next GoT, at least until one of these hits. Really hits.

Really hits. I hope LOTR and WOT does well. But I hope they don’t try to mimic GOT exactly especially the sex and nudity. Somethings belong in that world and not LOTR or WOT. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
