    Having stumbled on the Wheel of Time books by accident I was caught up immediately. The books are without doubt the best I have ever read. I partly feel sorry for Brandon as he has an epic task finishing this momentous series, but I have faith that those close to Robert Jordan know that he is upto the taks. I wait with baited breath for the conclusion to a sreies that has been part of my life for over ten years.

    I wish you all the luck Brandon and look forward to reading your book

    Robert Jordan’s books are the best i have ever read both ‘The Conan Chronicles 1 & 2′ and ‘The Wheel of Time’ series. I hope Brandon Sanderson can finish ‘The Wheel of Time’ as spectacularly as Robert Jordan began it.

    The Wheel of Time series are just awesome and you can tell all the way through that Robert Jordan had an incredibly ending lined up, I just hope that Brandon Sanderson can tie up all the loose ends and produce a concluding book that lives up to the standards set by Robert Jordan

    Just read that the 12th book is scheduled for an autumn 2009 release. I am really looking forward to the release of this 12th book but I have my reservations. Can it really be tied up and finished properly in 1 more book? In an interview, RJ said he would do it in 13 books. Can another author finish the series credibly in just 1 more book. The appeal of WoT has always been it’s epic nature, finishing it this way runs the serious risk of having it seem “rushed”…. I really hope it works.
