I have mixed feelings and tend to agree with Jax. Probably will be something like he said.
As for books, well, the Encyclopedia was a cynical cash-grab that had little of value (other than if you were interested in AS power levels...and the occasional backstory on some 2nd or 3rd tier characters.) I was glad that I only read it in the bookstore. I didn't expect answers to stuff that they've said would never be answered (like the lighting of the pipe). But I certainly expected more than a glossary (and organized far better too). Explanations for things that had been Rafo'd even after the last book had come out. Anyway...
Stories set in another age (like here at FA, as Aria said) could be cool. But somehow I doubt that.
I could hope that Red Eagle and Harriet worked out their differences after last year's WOT infomercial and somehow the WOT could become a series like GOT. Obviously, there's no way the story wouldn't have to be cut down (along with the cast). But it could be done well enough that it would be pretty awesome despite all that.
But that's banking on Red Eagle suddenly deciding to act in the best interests of WOT after however many years (going all the way back to the their delay of the excellent New Spring comics) of pissing all over the series and fan expectations in order to hold on to their rights.
Still, I'm curious.
Still I can hope.
(And I bet Aria still has her Team Edward posters up :p )
