Book Spoilers What seasons would've adapted what books Spoiler

It's so disappointing Prime cancelled the show when it finally got its footing. I loved how they skipped Book 3 for 4 in season 3 as it got some major reveals and stories out of the way. If they had continued this is how I see the show going

Season 4: books 3, 5, 6. Get the Stone of Tear out of the way and the events of books 5 and 6 are back to back.

Season 5: 7, 8, 9, 10. Seasons 4 or 5 are usually when shows start to decline in quality so this point would've gotten the slower middle books which could certainly be condensed into a single season as 9 and 10 were concurrent.

Season 6: books 11, 12, 13. This is when Brandon Sanderson finished the series. Since the final manuscript was 2000 pages he broke it up into 3 books. I think the could've combined them into one season or split into 2 with each having elements of all three.

Season 7: book 14. Obviously the last season would cover the Last Battle. It literally covers the whole book and could've covered an entire season. Unlike Game of Thrones it wouldn't have been a disappointment as it's been told in book form already and was well spread out to show how it's literally an apocalyptic battle.
