I have been a fan of the "Wheel of Time" series since 1995. Every time a new book came out I would re-read the series from the beginning. Until Mr Jordan's passing. I would have gladly re-read the series again had the final book been the final book as Tor said it would.
Unfortunately, it was not. I do not know whether making the final edition into a trilogy was necessary or a marketing ploy (though I suspect a little of both) and I will not find out until the final book is published. I have not bought or read the last two books, nor will I buy the final book. I have bought all the books authored by Mr. Jordan but refuse to give Tor any more of my money. I have already checked and my local library has several copies of the last two and I will not have to wait much longer after publication before they have the third. If any of you truly believe that Tor has delayed the ending intentionally, do the same. The book will read just as well for being borrowed as bought.
Although I do not believe it was Mr. Jordan's intent to make this series last so long, it did. I have waited for the ending of this story for quite some time. I, like many others here, have fretted over not being able to finish. I hate starting something and not being able to finish it! Because of that, and and the seeming antics of Tor, I no longer read any series until it is complete.
