The Gathering Storm Discussion

Posted by Soulskill on Friday October 30, 2009 @06:30AM from the read-and-find-out dept.

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.

He could have passed it on to Piers Anthony or Brian Herbert and it would have been better than the dross he'd been putting into print. Seriously, does anyone think he ever intended to end the series?

I'm not trying to be judgmental, actually. If you like Kit Kat better than caviar, bully for you.
The world needs ditch diggers too.
