There's a lot to be said for these fun pastiches - Eddings, Feist, the Shannara series, and Dragonlance. Not particularly well written, but actually fun and pretty light. The ones that haven't made it to TV (all but Shannara) would make perfectly enjoyable effects-driven TV series a la The Expanse. It might be refreshing to see some more escapist pastiches that aren't quite as heavily driven by urgent questions like "what might it look like if historical atrocities were attractively filmed?" or "what if the real purpose of new technology is to find nasty new ways of torturing people?"
