That thing is not done yet???
I thought the last book was coming out YEARS ago!?
I did see a book with the new author in the library the other day. I want to think it was in the new book section, but honestly, I gave up on that series back at like book 8. I could NOT keep track of all of the characters and plots lines. It got VERY crazy.
The first books were pretty good though. I think if Jordan had kept it more tidy, it would have done even better.
I'd rather he not rush it and do a good job. The Towers of Midnight was very good imo, I really enjoyed it. The Gathering storm was a bit to much of a split between Robert Jordan and Brandon Sanderson I think, I recall noticing the difference in writing styles to much.
One thing I will say about the series in general is it is really complicated, there a lot of plot lines which are incredibly detailed. This is something I like! Especially when something foreshadowed in book 1-3 occurs in boots 10-13. I really enjoy the humor in the series too.

Shooter said:Yeah, I was really enjoy the series at first and then, like others, it just got too convoluted. I was seeing one reviewer who said that they would read all the books over again before starting each new one to get themselves up to spead. Yeah, sorry, I don't really have time for that. I have something else to do, it's this little thing called a life, perhaps you've heard of it?!?!?
I still don't know who Brett Favre is!)
Here is the site that has all the short writeups on each chapter if anyone needs to get caught up to continue reading lol

Maybe I'll give it another try...if you're already read the books, the site will jog your memory enough to get you up to speed.
There is a WOT wiki (different from Wikipedia) that I refer to often to remember who the hell the author is referring to.
Ok, stop it you guys. I have other things to do!
BTW - Did anyone catch that one part in that one book where that one girl had that stick thing they carry and it was apparent that she was going to use it for...
Maybe it was just in my dirty mind.

Post quotation from the book or it didn't happen
I dig what the guy's writing, and I think he's doing an admirable job with the material so far... But if he committed to finishing off WOT, then he should finish off WOT before doing more of his own stuff!!!

I think Brandons Sanderson is perfect for finishing the series. The last 3 books that Jordan wrote were dry and very slow. You would read 100 pages and get no where in the series. Sanderson is bringing the action and adventure back. It seems like a great boost to the series.
I have also read Sanderson's other books, the Mistborn Series. That one is a great series as well. And only 3 books which are all complete.
