I'm rereading warbreaker rn before certain chapters in oathbringer, and I can't wait to see someone tackling it on film. No, there is way too much detail to make the movie any good, unless they make two movies out of each book. --- The Official Odin of the Shin Megami Tensei IV board.

I think good adaptations could be fine of the bigger series though they'd lose some of it but the side books could be amazing.

If Sanderson gets a similar show that will change. lol wut. ASoIaF was probably the second biggest modern fantasy series after Wheel of Time at that point, and more critically acclaimed. Anyway Sanderson is probably my favorite author but no, he wont stand the test of time as well as Tolkien. I agree about Pratchett, such a wise human being even though the Discworld books dont really blow me away. --- EndOfDiscOne <cite>Theon_Greyjoy posted [p:943908692] in Wil Brando...

His consistent quality combined with the sheer volume that he writes per year is just astounding. <cite>Atralis posted [p:943911930] in Wil Brando...
