Copy-pasteo unas declaraciones de Brandon Sanderson, prolífico escritor de fantasía y "coautor", debido a la lamentable y anunciadísima muerte por enfermedad de Robert Jordan, de los tres últimos libros de la saga (aunque confieso que aparte de WoT sólo he llegado a leer, hace muchos años, su primera novela y no me hizo mucho tilín).

I found the mast majority of these decisions to be excellent choices--things that will give the show its own soul, but still in line with the feel and tone of the books. I can't say for certain, but my instincts say the fanbase will in general respond to them positively. There are a few I offered suggestions on, and we'll see.
I can't say too much, not just because of NDAs, but also because the show is very much still in flux as Rafe makes decisions on how he wants things to go. As the alterations go, I'd say they fall in line with positive changes made in bringing LOTR to the big screen--things that were altered in order to make the films work for the medium.
Overall, the thing I'm most impressed with is Rafe himself, who really seems to be guiding this show with a balance between love for the source material and his own creative vision. I'd much rather get this, personally, than something like the first two Harry Potter films--which felt like someone trying to bring the books to the screen with exact scene-by-scene recreations.
I'm certain there will be polarizing decisions made by the team, but the changes are coming from a good place, and I really like most of them. And let me tell you, the first of the two scripts I read was sharp. Excellent dialogue, nuanced characters, great pacing. The second of the two was in a rougher shape, so while still good, obviously was still undergoing revisions.

Dichas declaraciones las he encontrado tanto en The Daily Trolloc como en SyfyWire.
Por cierto, el que fuera elegido para terminar la serie, al menos eso leí en su momento, fue por el panegírico que dedicó a Robert Jordan.
