Robert Jordan’s eleventh book - KNIFE OF DREAMS

A friend sent me this but no link was provided...

Robert Jordan’s eleventh book in his wildly popular The Wheel of Time™ series, KNIFE OF DREAMS, will go on-sale nation-wide this October 11, 2005. KNIFE OF DREAMS will be the second to last book in the highly acclaimed The Wheel of Time™ series…

You know, I don't know if I care any more.

I quit caring around book 7 or 8.

Glad to see he is planning on finishing the series tho...

Ditto werk personally, but I am happy for the people still reading the series. Good to see that it's not another prequel, at least.

I heard about that a few months ago, and independently, but even before I knew that, I was trying to get caught up again via audiobook while I commuted to and from work. I never read books 9 or 10.

I seem to be peetering out in book 7--I can't seem to make myself care anymore.

You want spoilers? I'll tell you what'll happen. Nynaeve will yank her braid, Elayne will think about her "moment" with Rand, Aviendha will give someone a look that will drive nin-inch spikes through brick walls, Rand will act like a jerk, Mat will be frustrating and frustrated, Faile will whine and act like a monkey, Perrin will agonize for forty pages about whether or not to pick up a hammer or an axe, and Bela will kick Juilin in the nads. Meanwhile, Robert Jordan will introduce fourteen new major characters, and mysteriously, abruptly and anti-climactically three of the Forsaken will die.

Meanwhile, Robert Jordan will introduce fourteen new major characters, and mysteriously, abruptly and anti-climactically three of the Forsaken will appear to die but most likely not leave a body or complete proof of said death, so that any Forsaken Jordan grows attached to can be brought back as necessary.

Corrected.

I've spent enough time and money on the series to date that I'm going to end up with hardcovers of the last two (Jordan seems extremely committed to finishing the series up with Knife of Dreams and book 12 by all reports) unless Knife of Dreams is awful (and, well, I liked the prologue and chapter 1). And I still think writing 9 very good to excellent novels in a ten book series and a prequel is pretty good. The problem is that the clunkers are books 8 and 10, which tends to reduce optimism for book 11.

So, how many prequels will Jordan put out between book 11 and 12?

13 prequels between 11 and 12.

Unless he changes his mind after making some very public statements on the issue, none.
