“These are just terrible”: Stephen King Couldn’t Tolerate One Fantasy Series That Sold 90 Million Copies – It’s Not Game of Thrones

There’s barely any horror fanatic who isn’t familiar with the name Stephen King. The renowned author with a high book-to-adaptation ratio is not only famed for his unique take on horror but also for his outspoken nature.

King has often gotten into controversies for his critique of other literary figures. However, he correctly predicted a trend that would go on to shape the future of two fantasy shows – Game of Thrones and The Wheel of Time.
Stephen King didn’t like The Wheel of Time
Robert Jordan’s novel series, The Wheel of Time, a 14-volume read, is quite popular among young adults and admirers of fantasy. Back in 2016, at The Kiva Auditorium in Albuquerque, King had a chat with George R.R. Martin, where he admitted his dislike for Jordan’s work.
