Anyone else looking forward to the last WoT book?

Thats it really. I am. I'm currently rereading the series (for about the 5th time) and had forgotten how good they are.

3? I don't mind that much but Jordan used to churn out 1 a year was it? Then dropped to every few years. I hope we aren't going to have crapola ling times between books.

I LOOOOOOVE Mat (can't stand Rand, don't mind Perrin) although it did take me about 3 books to warm to him.

Apparently it will be split, into 3 volumes because a) it's so long (yippee!) and b) the ghost writer didn't want to leave anything out in case it was crucial.

I am looking forward to it sooooooooo much - have converted DH2B to the dark side and plan to start my own re-read in preparation for November very very soon.

I still have the second half of book 11 to read. I can't read it until book 12 is out. If I finish it I will want book 12 NOW and will be very cross at having to wait.

I did hear that but then heard they weren't after all.
Hope they don't split it

You do know that Tor Books are now saying the 'last' book is going to be 'multi-volumes', ie the one coming out in November is STILL not going to be the end? Not surprised, but still grrr...

Rand is too. I find Perrin a bit dull with the Faile stuff. You know the 'oh she smells jealous. She's being awful but I musn't be nasty or shout because she's a girl' type crap. He suffers in comparison cos right now Matt is rescuing some damane and the Daughter of the Nine Moons (a.k.a his Bloody Wife). My Dad and DH prefer Perrin though, I'm just a hopeless Mat lover.

Perrin isn't boring, he's lovely. Matt is more exciting though, once he's got over a book and a half of moaning/whinging and being possessed.

Rand is boring.

Well, maybe he didn't know. I'll give you that.
Apparently he has left detailed notes and dictated onto to tape a lot more stuff I think we will learn more about the aelfinn and eelfinn. There is the theory isn't there that matt and tom save moiraine from them and snakes and foxes is based on them.
I'm just finishing Winter's Heart. Love it. Lots of Mat and no boring Perrin.

I didn't think he knew he was going to die (or no more than all of us are going to die sometime) when he wrote the prequels.

I think someone (a ghost encyclopaedia-writer) should take all his notes and give them to us in a useful form. There's sure to be stuff that's not explained even in the last book. I want to know more about the aelfinn and the eelfinn.

Not really
I do feel it was a little inconsiderate to waste time on prequels and wotnot rather than finishing the series when he was going to die like that but I'm really enjoying the series as haven't re-read in about 5 years.
My mai worry is that the ghost writer won't be any good. I really just want to know how it ends.

Anyone? I want to be able to ramble on about the fab-ness of Wheel of Time.
