I'm hesitantly optimistic. I've read most of the books but need to finish up the last few. The series was supposed to end at 3, and then was stretched out (a bit too much in my opinion) and I'm hoping it ended strong. Regardless, it would make a great television series if done and cast well.

I never read these because they seemed like too big a project for the limited time I had available for reading, but I'm interested to see what they can do with a TV series.

My eldest niece posted about this last night. She is terribly excited for this series.
I don't know if I have any interest. Depends on how I feel when Game of Thrones ends. If I'm disappointed in the ending, I will probably be reluctant to invest in another fantasy series.

Greatest completed fantasy series of all-time. If they do it right, it could be huge. Even better, it doesn't have to be 14 seasons. Cut away some ancillary characters, especially in the middle books, and you can shorten it to something more manageable. Absolutely cannot wait.

I'm just excited to experience it in a format that doesn't involve spending 1/3 of the time describing travel where nothing happens.
