If we are going to have to wait until Janury 8 of next year, why not push it back one more week so the final book is published on the same day as the first??

The two dates are only separated by one sentence in their press release. I can't believe they didn't think of having that kind of story to build their marketing around.

yeah that makes sense why don't they it would be kind of cool.

I must say I dislike how long it will will be but I've waited for eons feels like so what's another 11 months to me.

love the pace and feel of the last two novels in the series Brandon has done an amazing job especially on the pace of the books but maybe Jordan would have made the plots move just as fast because the first two books in the series were kind of fast as well. hope Brandon does as good on the 14th as he has done with the 12 and 13th........

I to hope the world is still here when it's released hope the Mayans were wrong lol.

Cant Wait to get my hands on the final book hurry 2013!
