I doubt we will see the end of the series. God help us if HBO is allowed to end it.
Brandon Sanderson can finish it.
Thought he did a pretty good job with The Gathering Storm (a few hiccups, but nothing that detracted from the story or made me hyper-aware that there was a ghostwriter)...Towers of Midnight comes out day after tomorrow!!!
He did a great job, he missed Mat Cauthon's voice a little, but Mat is such a difficult character, like you said, it didn't distract from the story. I know people who actually think TGS is the best WOT story. Obviously crazy, the run of The Great Hunt to Lord of Chaos is probably the best series of any books ever written.
Damn good, but not the best, at least IMHO. I do, however, have VERY high hopes for ToM. The tension is building, and I'm friggin' excited. I'm halfway through my reread of Clash of Kings, and I can't decide whether to pause it and jump into ToM or to put the Wheel of Time on hold until after I finish my reread of A Feast for Crows.
I will have to wait to read ToM because I am reading Brandon Sanderson's "The Way of Kings" right now.
It's on my list. Honestly, every Sanderson book I've read has been absolutely stellar. The Mistborn trilogy kicked ass, Warbreaker was great...

Yeah dude, the guy is the best fantasy writer on the planet right now, I haven't read Warbreaker yet but check out Elantris if you haven't read it.

Elantris was the first one of his I read (as soon as I heard he was going to finish WoT, I bought it just to see if I would like it...needless to say, I was hooked).
On his website you can download a copy of Warbreaker for free in PDF (at least you could a year ago or so). He did something really neat with that - posting first drafts, then revisions, then more revisions, and then a final draft. He's very accessible, and his hope was that people would still pay for the book when it came out.
I read it at work (don't tell my boss!) on my computer, and have been meaning to buy the book because #1, I'll want to read it again someday, and #2, I want to reward him for taking such a risk.

The Way of Kings is awesome.
To stay on topic... I think they really nailed the casting especially Cersei and Joffrey.
I was also impressed with Jaime's casting. Dany looks fantastic, too, but I am assuming they're aging her a little in the show so that there's less controversy about a 13 year old girl.
JOFFREY JUST BIT IT!!! Did he choke or was it poison? If so, was the poison meant for Tyrion? Who is behind it?
This book is spectacular! I can't wait to read more!!!!!
Yeah except following SOS Feast of Crows is a HUGE letdown because all the good stuff was cut out of it and put into the now-maybe-never-coming-out Dance with Dragons.

I'm probably going to take a break after SOS before I read FOC... I got a lot of other books I want to tackle. Should I even bother reading FOC, though, until I know for sure whether or not the next one is even happening? Should I just skip FOC all together and just read the enxt one when/if if comes out?

I would actually wait until DWD comes out and read both of them (FOC and DWD) at the same time, there is enough in there that furthers the story that you need to read.

I just started reading A Clash of Kings and Arya was not one of my favorites from the first book, but her little adventure seems to be a bit more intruiging for me this time around.

Finished Storm! Sweet baby Jesus, fuck me. That was unreal. So many twists and turns. Complete shock and awe. I almost shit myself on the final two pages.

As someone who is only 200 pages into A Clash of Kings you make me want to read faster

Hold tight and enjoy the ride. But, yeah, Storm is so fucking unreal. I'm excited for you to get to it.
