Two of my sons have now finished the book and both loved the new one. They highly recommend it. I am getting started but I have forgotten so much!

Thanks for the link.

I've met Brandon a few times before (before he was chosen to finish the series, and once after) and he is a very cool guy. I'd love to take the class he teaches at BYU about how to write a book and actually get it published.

I saw that today too. Pretty cool for a BYU grad to be involved in one of the biggest fantasy series. It's inspired me to re-read the series. Hopefully by the time I'm ready for book 12 books 13 and 14 will be done.

Just to prove that I truly am a geek, I went to the midnight release party... This is what I got.

Umm signed copy... didn't Jordan die in 2007?

So is this a signature from the beyond?

The signature is by Brandon Sanderson, the man who finished the book after Jordan died and will be completing the final 2 remaining tomes.

The Robert Jordan signature you see on the page is printed on.

So I am calling it now: Morraine comes back, spanks Rand on the bottom, and he regurgitates some special voodoo that wipes out the foresaken. Matt becomes a polygamist, and all that marrying unites all those people to the far west such that they unite in peace and decide to return home and call it a day. Perrin's beard grows longer and he chops of the heads of one kazillion trollocs. The ael (sp?) discover water, open a franchise of water parks, and go home to bathe and frolic in the water. Peace out
You've just wrapped up every major plot line, except for one...

It is revealed that Bella killed Asmodean!
Not Bella! Oh and I did forget the White and Black Towers and the right wing fanatic guys whatever they were called--they intermarry and produce hobbits who migrate out to some new land called the Middle Kingdom

Bella! How'd we stray into vampire land? Oh wait. you meant the horse? hmm... ahem. Not that I read the Twighlight books anyways... i'm too manly for that.
