Quote (wikipedia)
The author died in 2007 whilst working on what was planned to be the final volume in the series, although he had prepared extensive notes so another author could complete the book according to his wishes. Fellow fantasy author and long-time Wheel of Time fan Brandon Sanderson  was brought in to complete the final book, but during the writing process it was decided that book would be far too large to be published in one volume, and would instead be published as three volumes as large as, or larger than, any previous book in the series. The first volume was published in 2009 under the title The Gathering Storm.[2] The final two books are called Towers of Midnight and A Memory of Light and are planned to be published in 2010 and 2011 respectively.


Wanna read Towers of Midnight, but the local library haven't gotten it yet :cry:

you can probably get a taste by downloading an e-book sample for free if there is one


usually you can get somewhere in the range of the first 2-3 chapters this way, depending on the length of chapters

you can read chapter 1 and 8 of towers of midnight on tor.com

prologue is also available but i think its like $2.99? kinda pointless tho considering the books release in about 2weeks

the e-book prologues arent in the books IIRC, they are meant to be sold separately at a low price as an e-book
