Okay, so the interview went on. The interview was about Jordan. I mean, it was all him. Very little Martin. So I don’t think I’ll repeat the majority of it.
The pertinent part is that Jordan said he had planned the WoT series to be 5 books (I did a good job not to scoff), but the story has its own mind and can’t be contained (again, I didn’t laugh). Martin said that he had the same problem. He had originally planned that Game of Thrones and Clash of Kings to be one book.
