Three books or one?

[The Watcher and Wanderer]

I notice that the cover simply reads "The Gathering Storm" book 12 of the Wheel of Time.  No were do the words "A Memory of Light." appear.  So have they finally dropped the charade that this is one book divided into three volumes and just admitted that there will be three more books in the the series.  Its cool, I believe that this was necessary and that it probably would have happened even if RJ were still alive, but its nice to see reality acknowledged and the sugar coating taken off.  Still, book 14 had better be called "A Memory of Light."

i believe that's what Harriet and BS intent, althou it was never confirmed if book 14 will be entitled aMoL.

You are correct, sir!

Sometime back the publishers decided to make the 3 volumes 3 separate books.

 

The plan of the 3 volumes being parts of one book, that to me was not a charade.

I guess what I'm getting at is that its six of one or half a dozen of the other.  Either way we get one "book" in 2009 one in 2010 and one 2011.  Call them books or volumes we don't get the completion of the story until 2011.  It really makes no difference.
