Wheel Of Time To Conclude
Back in September I wrote about the passing of one of my favorite authors, Robert Jordan. He died as he was writing the final book to his huge Wheel of Time fantasy series, and I know that as sad as I was at his passing, I was nearly equally as sad about the prospect that his work would never be finished.
I know that people close to him said that Robert had vast collection of notes and dictations about the final book, and that it would be more than possible for the final novel to be completed even with no more input from him, but I still had my doubts. I just didn’t think it could be done, not with a series so complex.
Well, now this news:
Tor Books has announced that Brandon Sanderson has been selected to complete A MEMORY OF LIGHT, the final novel in the Wheel of Time saga.
I have to admit that I’ve not personally heard of Brandon Sanderson, but I plan to rectify that situation shortly. If this is the guy chosen to complete a series that I’ve been reading for over a decade, well then the least I can do is buy his previous books and give him a shot.I sure hope he can keep the “feel” of the series alive, while at the same time wrapping the whole package up in a way that rewards all of us loyal fans for years and years of avid reading.
