Since Robert Jordan passed away, there have been reports and speculation about what would become of the "other" Wheel of Time novels he had been planning. The topic came to light at A Memory of Light (the final book in the main series).
The topic came up again recently this week when Dominic, from the Keeping the Door][/i] blog.
Obviously there's a lot of speculation going on. So we asked Brandon if he could please summarize and explain where things are. Here's what he said.
A lot of you have been asking for a handy document to help remind you of what's been happening in the Wheel of Time story. So we got together with our friend Bob Kluttz from Encyclopedia WoT and crafted just such a document.
The document is a PDF that describes how each character and plot thread was left off as of the end of Knife of Dreams. It's designed to print nicely if you want to do that. Click the image below to take a look.

It would be an understatement to say that a lot has happened since Knife of Dreams. It's been nearly four years since the release of what Robert Jordan believed was going to be his penultimate novel in The Wheel of Time series, and nearly two years since he passed away. Two very long years. But the Wheel weaves as the Wheel wills. The story is not yet done, and there is more to be told. Much of Robert Jordan's life was tied to these books, and it was important to him, I believe, to see them do
