It's almost impossible to reach any other conclusion based on what the respective authors have done so far.Jordan seems to be getting a book out every 2-2.5 years these days. He says he's got two books to go, and probably actually has three. The next book is definitely going to be out in the second half of this year, so the series should be done no later than 2010. Even a book 14 would be out no later than 2012.Martin's taken 5 years for the most recent book (with no release date in sight). He says he's got three books to go. Assume that Feast of Crows actually comes out in 2006, and make a very optimistic assumption that he takes three years each for the next two books, and that's the end. At the earliest, he's done in 2012.So no matter what you think of the authors, it's extremely likely that WoT will be done before SoIaF.</blockquote>
