I'm pretty torn on this. When Robert Jordan died I assumed the series would never be completed, and that was a huge disappointment. So I should be very excited by this news. And yet I'm not.
It just doesn't feel right. I honestly can't decide if I want to read these new ones or not. Especially since they are being split now. And is this guy really the best guy for the job? Maybe they should have waited a little longer before choosing him as the Jordan Reborn.
I wonder if this guy will consciously attempt to emulate Jordan's style or if he'll try to make it his own. Either way has drawbacks.
Creating three books out of what should have been one feels a bit like milking a dead cow, but I suppose if there's really enough content to justify it then I'll try not to be cynical about that.
“Today a young man on acid realized that all matter is merely energy condensed to a slow vibration, that we are all one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively, there is no such thing as death, life is only a dream, and we are the imagination of ourselves.” – Bill Hicks
