OMG!!! Can't wait.

Happy Birthday Dragonmount and many more!

What is "the track?"

I think Andor has some differences from Cairhien, so maybe that is why Elayne is willing to take the throne. I also think that Elayne was raised from birth to know that she would sit on the Lion Throne, whereas Moiraine was a lesser noble. I wish there had been a book that covered the 20 years from when Moiraine bonded Lan and they found Rand in the Two Rivers.

I think it's mild shame about the kibosh being put on any future WoT stories. I feel there is still some room for stories to be told. There were two other prequels that RJ mused about that I was still very much interested in reading.

 

One was about Tam al Thor and his story from the time he left Emmond's Field as a young man up to the point where he found Rand and returned home. That would have covered the Aiel War in some detail.

 

The second was another Moiraine & Lan story, about how they came to find Rand, Mat and Perrin and arrive at Emmond's Field mere hours before the Trolloc attack.

 

I would definitely buy those books if B.S. writes them, and probably even if Harriet hand-picks another author to write them.

 

The Encyclopedia will be an interesting book, if it clears up all unanswered questions. I would assume that if there will be no more books after the encyclopedia, then we won't get anymore "RAFO" responses. And we can have our every question answered.

 

In fact, if Team Jordan (B.S. included), were to embark on a sort of "WoT Q&A" tour (after the last WoT publication), and spend 90 minutes fielding questions from fans in each city without a single "RAFO," I bet that'd be pretty successful. I know I would pay $15 or $20 to attend that. Just a thought, Team Jordan...

Yes, there are 20 years from the time Moiraine bonded Lan and they came upon Rand. Twenty years of searching.

I keep hoping they are saying this is the end so people will buy the book and then later decide to continue it in some way.

Just reading any news now about AMoL, chokes me up. When I actually sit down to read it I'll be a 36 year old man bawling with a book in his hands. Started the series when I was 14. WOT for a while has been in my life longer than it wasn't.

I'm sad that I didn't find this 20 years ago. I started it a year ago and missed out on all the anticipation of the news books.

I've got the chills.

I thought it was really fun, so yes!

It will never be over!

I like them. I was not into fantasy at all....this would have attracted to me to the series.

This place always has so much going on! I need more free time.

Eventually, when I have earned it, I would love to purchase a shawl. The color remains to be seen.

Love this blog. I need to read past entries. I think RJ has led us to believe that Rand will die but I think he just may survive.
