Sanderson was unhappy with the way ToM was developing and seems to be restructuring it to 'hang' on the central plotlines just as TGS did with Rand and Egwene's storylines rather than just randomly throw all the different elements (presumably the Black Tower, Elayne in Caemlyn and the Tower of Ghenjei mission) together.<br /><br />I think Sanderson is maybe thinking that if ToM will take closer to 18 months, maybe AMoL will as well, but given that Jordan seemed to have written rather more material for AMoL than ToM, I wonder if that will actually be the case.Adam Whiteheadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11383677312079611311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7703856341303488608.post-20799500521782877262010-01-19T19:06:17.435+00:002010-01-19T19:06:17.435+00:00@Neth

The latest from Brandon's assistant is that a March/April 2011 timeframe is most likely for ToM. Speculation about AMOL is only speculation, but Sanderson is aiming for it to be released about a year after ToM.Nethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16963540055415924510noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7703856341303488608.post-5024663886191506612010-01-19T17:22:28.462+00:002010-01-19T17:22:28.462+00:00Hi Adam,

I remember a mate telling em to try it out way back in 93 or 94 (I think) and although I've since stopped reading them (around book 9) I still buy the series in hardcover and will read it entire once it is completed.<br /><br />Jordan had some extremely annoying tendencies as a writer (especially in regards to repetitive character actions) but it's still a great series that is a lot of fun to read.Jebushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00985667608602099242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7703856341303488608.post-91848631297111844452010-01-18T21:31:26.555+00:002010-01-18T21:31:26.555+00:00thanks for this.

I still confess to loving it, bad books and all. Once Mr Sanderson has completed the final book I shall be embarking on an epic read and know that I shall love every minute. <br /><br />The move towards grittier fantasy is a welcome one, because it is giving the scene a shake-up and introducing some fantastic new authors to the scene, but I still can't resist a slice of truly epic fantasy.<br /><br />Oh, and realizing the series is twenty years old? Well, that just makes me feel old.....Magemandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08986754628836562869noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7703856341303488608.post-479537197167776582010-01-17T06:51:20.926+00:002010-01-17T06:51:20.926+00:00great info.. i am on book #4
