As written earlier I’m really looking forward to the next Wheel of Time book that was supposed to be released later this year. Now Tor has announced it and I’m on the fence; should I be angry or annoyed like I guess a lot of people will be or should I be happy that we’re actually getting 3 three books over 2 years instead? My initial thought was leaning towards being quite annoyed, but after reading Brandon Sanderson’s blog post about how the decision came to be I’m now feeling that I should be happy and probably will be. But a lot of people, including me, could have told them that it would be impossible to wrap up most of the plot threads in one volume, Jordan started way too many of them for that.

Wheel of Time re-read on Tor.com
Thursday, March 12th, 2009Are you a fan of the Wheel of Time series? Are you looking forward to the final installment? No time to re-read the old books until then? Then you’re like me and will most probably really appreciate the really nice summaries and commentary by Leigh Butler (of WoT FAQ fame) over on tor.com.
It’s been a while since my last complete re-read, I think it was before The Path of Daggers, so after reading the posts on the first two books I’m amazed once again by how much actually happens so early in the series! It’s sad that the pace slowed down as much as it later did, it seems like things might get way to rushed in the final book. Looking forward to it anyway though!
Oh and BTW, sorry about not posting the review on The Dreaming Void, in short it was pretty good but I was a little bit disappointed as I felt it was a bit too much of a filler inbetween the first and last book of the trilogy. I really did enjoy the fantasy parts that takes place within the void though, I was a bit sceptical while reading the first book but they soon took off and continued to be great all the way through The Dreaming Void.
