i have valdemar opinions

So it turns out one of the producers from the upcoming Wheel of Time television series (are we still calling these things "television" when they aren't airing on actual broadcast television?) is also working on an adaptation of The Last Herald-Mage.

First off, while I was previously not at all interested in the Wheel of Time adaptation, I am now very invested in whether it turns out to be any good.

Second, I know Vanyel is Mercedes Lackey's special boy, but I'm not actually sure The Last Herald-Mage is a good place to start with a Valdemar adaptation.
