As crazy as it sounds, Red Eagle is suing Harriet for slander.
http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/thr...redirect=false This whole thing is kind of sad. |

Something tells me that won't stick.
And Red Eagle is doing more damage to its image by sueing Harriet than anything Harriet said could have. They come off as doubly bush league now. |

That was pretty pathetic.
On a related note, I finally got around to reading the final 3 books a few months ago, and I thought it was pretty damn stupid, which was disappointing.

I couldn't even make it through the last one. Which is saying something as a fan of both the series and Brandon Sanderson. I ended up reading all the Mat chapters and the very end and skipped about half the book. The last three books just never felt right to me, and the last was the worst.

I personally liked Sanderson a lot. It was definitely different than Jordan's style, but I'd honestly gotten pretty tired of Jordan's slow, detailed, not much plot movement pace toward then end, and Sanderson really picked up the pace to get the damn thing done.

I'm honestly worried that they'll be able to do it justice, but I'm glad that it won't be an obnoxious legal battle that is preventing someone from giving it a try.
It's gonna be tough to do all the magic stuff in a way that doesn't come across as a big cheese fest, though. |

I read the entire series last year, good books, as you get to the end though, lots of repetition. if they do it gritty like GoT then it could be good.

Certainly is plenty to work with there, and PLENTY of fat to cut. That 14 book series should have been about 6.
I thought Sanderson did a very commendable job wrapping it all up. Taking over someone else's work like that isn't easy, and he did an excellent job with bringing all the loose ends to conclusions and then the climactic finale.
