I started to absorb those 6100 pages 2 years ago until I reached the end of Part 6 just-in-time of the "A Crown of Swords" release. I loved it, but couldn't believe it not over yet. Considering RJ's seemingly never-ending breath and therefore expecting a new 1000-pages-tribute to Rand and his friends, I enjoyed myself in the meantime with other Fantasy by M.Rawn, T.Goodkind, G.R.R.Martin and so on.But now I WANT THAT SEQUEL !!! I restarted the whole episode, because I can't remember a thing (not even the Seanchan!)and being right now with "The Dragon Reborn" and I hope to make it 'til December, where you probably have read it already and start moaning about waiting again (or does it end with #8 ??)!!Well, enjoy it anyway, I'm not too far behind !!
