The Gathering Storm Discussion
Just over two years ago, fans of the Wheel of Time fantasy book series mourned the death of writer James Oliver Rigney Jr. — a.k.a. Robert Jordan. After much deliberation by Jordan's wife (who also edits the series), author Brandon Sanderson was chosen to finish the series. Sanderson familiarized himself with Jordan's notes and said that they would require three more books, which he hopes to release with about a year between them. On October 27th, the first new Wheel of Time book since Jordan's death was released, titled The Gathering Storm. Early reviews for the book seem quite positive, so here's a place to discuss it. Be warned: comments may contain spoilers.
Burned. Bummer.
Hey, it showed no other posts as I typed, so what wuz I supposed to think? Stupid Slashdot UI!
No, there's really not!
Just my opinion, I'm not right or wrong but thats how I feel about it. If you enjoy these books thats great, different strokes for different folks, but this is a big non-story to me
Well, isn't it nice of you, then, to take some precious time out of your day to comment on this non-story...
Actually, it sucks. I've literally exhausted 90% of the decent sword & sorcery fantasy fiction out there since I became addicted to it 10 - 12 years ago. I find myself re-reading the better material just to read something.
What if this weren't a hypothetical question?
