I started reading it a few month ago. It seems promising.
I like the fact that I know there is an actual end to the books and that there is still so much to read until I reach it.

Didn't the writer of WoT die resulting in another writer ending the series? I doubt that did the series good. I don't like to start something that will end bad.

From what I read, the one who finished it wasnt that bad, so it should be fine. (At least I hope it is.)

im at book 10 right now. What i heard was that robert jordan's last books were in a decline, but the series ended very strong with another writer taking over with jordan's own notes to use.

Haven't gotten very far into it, only the first few chapters but so far I'm digging it, I'm a very slow ready so it'll take me a while even though it's a very short book.
