Ahem - Apparently this came out yesterday:

Going on the christmas list this year!

[TZ]

1. Already in my household!

Amazon delivered it to me on the first day! Working my way back through the books..On "Path of Daggers" at the moment..:)

[semillama]

2. Yeah, I'm finally near the end of my book pile from last christmas/birthday

and then it's off to slog through the WOT before hitting the last book.

[TZ]

3. I finally finished it!

Really really good. Lots of movement in the plot....And alot of stuff to look forward to...

[semillama]

4. Look forward to???

Wasn't this supposed to be the final book? Haven't gotten it yet - finishing up Tad Williams' "Shadowplay" then diving back into the WOT.

[TZ]

5. Its part one of three.

The outline for the last book was running like 2,000 pages long! :wow: So its being broken up into a set of three.

6. You know, I thought it looked awfully thin for the final volume of the series...n/t

[semillama]

9. I just finished it.

I agree, it really moved forward! There was some really great payoffs in this volume, and enough foreshadowing of what's coming that makes it hard to wait...

[semillama]

7. i'm just about to dive into it

I've brushed up on the timeline and plot through the WOT wiki, but am re-reading Knife of Dreams before I go into this book. The other books I've re-read multiple times, essentially starting the series over every time a new volume came out, but I just don't have the time right now.

8. So, I'm about an inch into it

and so far, I'm pretty happy with Sanderson's job. I can't tell what is his writing and what is Jordan's, and there's no break in the depictions of the characters.
