Brandon Sanderson / Re: Splitting A Memory of Light...

Oh, don't get me wrong - there will be a valid, viable ending that wraps up what needs to be wrapped up, but that one word will be the only word in the lower-right corner of an otherwise blank page at the very end.  I think that would be awesome.   :)

I always thought that it would be cool if the last word of the series was ... flicker ...

I've always felt that the books we are reading are actually what Loial is writing - his book about these events that he starts writing during the events in book 1.  Granted, I could easily be wrong about this, but it wouldn't surprise me in the least.

One thing that excites me, though, is that it was long ago that I read that RJ had written the last scene, and more recently Brandon has said that the last scene, as written by RJ, will appear in the book.  This is encouraging, as it means that it wasn't just a "make it up as I go" thing (which I'm pretty sure is how Tolkien wrote LotR), but he had direction and a plan.

I'm looking forward as much as anyone to the release of WoT book 12.

Like many others here, my story is opposite JoeC's: I've been a Robert Jordan fan for a long time.  Book 7: A Crown of Swords had just been published when I first read Wheel of Time.  When Brandon Sanderson was chosen to finish Wheel of Time, I was like "Brandon who?

I have since read Elantris and the Mistborn trilogy.  I've very happy with what I've seen, as those books are among the best I've read.  I think Brandon will do fine with Memory of Light.

Joe, your reactions to The Great Hunt are about what mine were the first time I read it.  Looking back, I also now know that I had no idea what was coming, and yet the amount of foreshadowing and consistancy from book to book is amazing.  Things were foreshadowed in book 2 that don't come to fruition until book 11, and I wouldn't be surprised to find more fulfillment in 12.  I won't say more than that as I don't want to give any spoilers.  As RJ would say: RAFO (Read and Find Out).  :-)

Brandon Sanderson / Re: Best Mistborn Fight Scene *SPOILERS*

One thing I really like about this series is how each fight has it's own distinctive flair to it.  It's how threads like this can even be possible.

They are all great, but if I were to pin one down as my favorite, I would have to go with Vin vs. Shan.  It was Vin's first real go at combat as a mistborn, as prior to that it was just training with Kel.  That and the situation, with all the danger, felt very real.

So what will happen to this discussion if Hoid (or someone by that name) appears in AMoL?
