It can make a person wish that Sanderson wrote the entire thing. His style is so much...

Originally published at tansyrr.com . You can comment here or there . So in the early hours of this morning I ended up feeding my baby to the sound of an interview with Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman , the most bestselling duo of fantasy authors of all time.

Likely no one was surprised when it was announced that A Memory Of Light , the planned final entry in Robert Jordan’s mega-bestselling Wheel Of Time fantasy series, was so large that it had be split into three volumes. Jordan died in 2007, leaving the then-11-book saga incomplete, but even before his death, the WOT had bogged down in needlessly complex plotting and a dearth of forward momentum....
