So it happens, some have wondered when would it end... now it has or will.
"Now Brandon Sanderson has signed on to complete A MEMORY OF LIGHT, with scheduled delivery of the manuscript in December 2008 and a planned publication date of Fall 2009. “The Wheel of Time turns and ages come and pass. What was, what will be, and what is, may yet fall under the Shadow. Let the Dragon ride again on the winds of time…”
I just read this and found out Rober Jordan, author of the Wheel of Time fantasy series has died. I have eagerly awaited his books every year, initially surfing the book stores looking for them, but the last few just looking every once in a while. I read the first book 3 times through after it came out before the final one arrived. Rand, Matt and Perrin are names embedded in my soul. I am not a fanboy craving everything about it, but I do love the books. My intention was to one day start over and read the whole series through again. It is that good.
It is a shame that he didn't get to finish it himself, but alas time turns...
