Yeah this is my favorite fantasy series.
Started to read this series in 1993 at 13 year old.. last book came out in 2013..I was 33 when it was done :)
Sadly I am a bit dissapointed with a few of the casting choices, can always hope I'm wrong.

Loved the series, however will this be behind the amazon prime pay wall?
I'm still waiting for The Expanse S4 to come to blu-ray.

The game was great. I want another

Interesting. I came to know the books through a couple of blind guardian songs based on it. Are the books finished? Dont want to jump in another song of ice and fire fiasco again.

Worth a read, and probably also a watch.
I'll keep a eye out for it.

Yes, Brandon Sanderson finished the series after the author died.

Mind you, though, these books released back in a time when a lot of fantasy fiction used to be far more formulaic, prosaic even, than now. Don't jump in expecting to be awed by fascinating characters or strange alternate worlds.

Some of the later books are kind of a drag too, where not much is actually going on.

OT - I've been hearing about this since 2008 or so, it's crazy that it's finally happening. Here's hoping it'll be any good.

They are finished... but this is a long series with a huge chunk of basically nothing in books 7-11.  The author died and it was finished by Brandon Sanderson who is actually my favorite author, so it does finish pretty strong.  

as for this amazon series... I don’t have a lot of faith in it... It is too much content to cover so they are going to have to cut stuff... and tv shows are never very good at that... and the stuff they add to make everything work is always terrible.

If you guys like the wheel of time series though, you should check out Sanderson’s stormlight archive series.  Now that is a good book series!

Worth a read indeed, but be prepared, I think it's almost 12,000 pages in total :) Epic!
Lord of the rings looks like a pamphlet in comparison.

Yeah i did read like 15 of them. (14 main story,1 prequel)

They do have many epic moments but i would not call them amongst the best fantasy books,there is a lot of filler in descriptions and repitition but yeah that would not be a bother for the series cause if you just tie all the action together it might be great and there is content enough for that.

It is worth a read i would say if you are a patient reader

Yeah something very descriptive can be fun to read if it is done in a way that does not just sum up what's there but takes you along with it in a captivating way.

This author or yeah both of these authors have their strong and weaker moments,to be honest i find them to write better than the likes of Stephen King.
