As some have pointed out, it's been a while since I posted the 'story so far' post for the eleventh Wheel of Time novel, Knife of Dreams. With the fourteenth and final book due for release on 8 January, that leaves me with a week to summarise The Gathering Storm and Towers of Midnight.
Unfortunately, it now looks like this will not happen. A combination of two rapid changes of jobs, constant six-day weeks since mid-November and the requirements of doing these summaries (about 8-9 hours of work, basically requiring a full working day of effort) have left me little chance to work on the project. I've done about 30% of The Gathering Storm so far and might just manage to finish that off before AMoL comes out, but definitely not the complex-to-summarise (due to its convoluted timeline) Towers.
I will complete the project, as I know many people will not get to Memory of Light until it comes out in paperback or ebook (the ebook version has, once again, been ludicrously delayed until several months after the hardcover), but sadly not in time for the release of the hardcover. Apologies for that. In the meantime, I can recommend Encyclopedia WoT's summaries of The Gathering Storm and Towers of Midnight.
My traditional year review/preview posts will be along as normal in the next few days, however.

the delay of e-book is a bad thing, but not that ludicrous, tor just wants profit and they now, that e-books are available on torrents on the day of its release, sometimes even before it, just as blu-rays.
I am partially sighted and the lack of an ebook on the day of release is really out of order... I would buy the hardback, but can't read it... This delay for whatever reason they do it, discriminates against those who can't read normal sized print. Consider me officially pissed off...
