The first 6 were good. The next 4 were pretty boggy due to multiple main pov’s and such a complex set of timelines. Book 10 brought the timelines together. Book 11 was Jordan’s last but we could see where it was all going... sort of. Sanderson took over for what was supposed to be the last book, but it would have been over 6” thick, so they split it into 3. Been building up a head of steam since then.

Did they have someone else write the last book instead? I read the first four or five and then lost interest, but they we always on my list of “must get back to” books. --Dave From: Paul Maynard <[email protected]> Sent: 12 November 2012 13:24 To: [email protected] Subject: RE: Magician's End Cover? Lani, The series is called The Wheel of Time, by a guy called Robert Jordan. The first book is called The Eye of the World. If you check it out let me know what you think =] I know what you mean about characters that you come to love. Pug, Tomas, Nakor, Erik, Roo and countless others feel like friends to any number of people on this list, I'm sure. I'm also sure Ray will enjoy being able to introduce us all to an entirely new set of characters when he puts his mind to something else in the coming years too.

I was used to reading Anne Rice and of all things Stephen King till my brother got me hooked on Ray which i have to say is far superior reading. But the series and getting hooked on a line of characters who you never want to end is almost too much LOL. I will check out Memory of light though, who is the Author? Kind regards Lani -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: [email protected] To: [email protected] Subject: RE: Magician's End Cover?

Eagerness to read it combined with complete fear of it being the end of the 14 book 'Wheel Of Time' series which I've loved for years! Check it out if you haven't already.

Enjoy, you really dont know what your missing right now :). I must always research first before reading from another Author because im kind of impatient and really afraid of the END book :(. Happy reading, get your tissues handy too.

I have a confession to make...my reading and keeping up to date with the Riftwar has slipped badly, and some of you of list stardom may never forgive me. Ever since getting my First Edition of RaDL signed by Ray while he was on a UK tour (which, of course, I then refused to open - spine protection!), I've not read anything Riftwar related. I know, I know. My thinking was to wait for the paperback of RaDL to come out as I read a lot on lunch breaks, at relatives houses, etc, and it's much more tranport friendly. That purchase never happened, nor any subsequent books so my mind has yet to be graced with the words of the Demonwar or Chaoswar Sagas. However! Seeing Magician's End written on a front cover, regardless of it not being a final draft, has just changed my mindset and I believe I'll be Feist-focussed again in the not too distant future, getting myself fully up-to-date with the world(s) of Pug & co in time for the May release of a book I dread only second to A Memory of Light for ending series' that I've grown up with. If the book is half as good as that cover it promises something epic. Best Regards, Paul Maynard
