*** Spoilers***

soo i finished the new Wheel of time book today...

the book mostly follows egwene and her trials attempting to reunite the tower, which made for a pretty interesting read. she's not one of my favorite characters, but i do enjoy reading about the tower scandals. rand continues to go bonkers. but really really bonkers. whew.

elayne doesn't make any appearances in the book. there's maybe one chapter about perrin, and a few about mat.

so how did brian sanderson do? .... okay i guess. he's really nowhere near as good as RJ. i don't think he can really do the intricate plot lines and keep all the characters straight, but i suppose that's fair, i can't do it either.

but i still enjoyed the book. he does a good job trying to keep the characters personalities the same, although mat's not really as funny, and the way he tries to portray the little gender-battles that RJ used weren't as great to read.

So... this series...

-is critically acclaimed by all of the most intellectual groups of readers that I know...
-has had volumes 8-13 hit #1 on the New York Times bestseller list...
-has sold upwards of 40 million copies...
-has had several licensed games (including a present project by Obsidian Entertainment, who have worked with both Bethesda and BioWare on some of the best RPGs ever) and even more unlicensed ones...
-has a comic adaptation being worked on...
-has had rights to do a movie version of the first volume given to Universal Pictures...
-has had rights to do a television series version of the first version given to NBC...
-is my favorite genre, notably original, and written out by a genuinely skilled author with a huge imagination...
-has found its books in my hands at least three times that I can remember...

...and yet I've never read it?

I need to get to the public library right now. If only it weren't 12:11AM of Black Friday. >->
It's not open yet and traffic will be horrible all day, anyway. *Sigh.*
It's a good thing I got Skyrim last week.
