Brandon Sanderson / Re: The Wheel of Time: the things unfinished...
« on: March 29, 2008, 01:51:39 PM »
Instead of naming all those the this that are unfinished I might as well note those things that we might see finished in aMoL, I base most of my conjectures in the prophecies, dreams and viewings throughout the series.
Let's go charachter by character:
Perrin and the broken crown.
Mat, Thom and Noel: They have to get to the tower of Genjei, rescue Moirane from Finnland, then Mat has to get his cannons in time for Tarmon Gaidon. At some point Mat loses and eye (give up half of the light of the world).
Those are the most linear subplots. Then things get intertwined, Rand has to learn whatever he has to learn from Cadsuane (to cry and laugh again...), then he has to "bind the nine moons to serve him" which means dealing with the Seanchan, but that should not happen before the Seanchan attack the White Tower which leads to all the Tower plots, the Tower has to be united and cleansed, then Rand shall show up there and "know the anger of the Amyrlin Seat" which should be more than a yelling from Egwene.
I guess that after that he should also take care of the Black Tower, after KoD we know that Taim is a darkfriend and has 100 Asha'man who will turn into Dreadlords for the last battle, at some point the BT shall be destroyed.
Well, this is my idea of what should happen. I'd like to also make two interesting points, Brandon Sanderson is known for his "Avalanche" at the last chapters of his books and he also notes in his posts that The Wheel of Time makes more sense when read in one go and not book by book, which leads me to conclude that we are in the presence of 300k+ words worth of "Brandon Avalanche"
