Unfortunately, it will be published over a two year period. TAKE A LOOK This is most unfortunate, but I hope they spend a lot of quality time on it just to get it right. The week of Nov. 3rd I think I'll be calling out sick - The Gathering Storm is being released. Also, Brandon Sanderson has stated that the tentative title for the last volume of AMOL will be called Tarmon Gai'don. That's fantastic! I've said for years ...

I was looking up someone on encyclopediawot.com and there was a mention of a quote from Matt "I was hanged for my knowledge" the footnote said "This is one of Jordan's most direct connections between Mat and Odin from Norse mythology."

I want everyone to give me snapshots that they think of that are indicative of each book. Since we are reading EOTW at the moment what are your thoughts on the first book. By snapshot I mean a moment captured in time of a major event in the story. For example on Winternight when Rand opens the door and there is a Trolloc there. I can envision that moment in time, the shock on Rands face, the Trolloc looming in the doorway. Another good one ...
