I think next fall. Seems like October is in my head for some reason.
Tor will want Brandon to tour for it and the next WOT book at the same time.
So, we're speculating the first book in Way of Kings/Dragonsteel/Whatever will be available October 2010, right?
Ookla, when you said "the next WOT book" you're talking about volume 2 of AMOL, right? I just want to make sure I'm following this correctly. It wouldn't make much sense for Brandon to tour for both WOT and Way of Kings this November if Way of Kings won't be out until fall 2010.
I can't wait for Way of Kings! I don't believe I'm actually saying this (since I love WOT), but I'm a little sad that Brandon has to put so much time into finishing up the WOT. I really enjoyed Dragonsteel and think any series with some of the same concepts will definitely be AWESOME. At the same time, one of the reasons I'm excited Brandon is working on WOT (besides having an end to the story) is that he will get the experience and practice of working in such a large and complex story. I'm hoping Way of Kings is kind of like WOT, in that it is a LONG series of THICK books set in a world of rich details.
Any idea when Brandon will decide for sure on the name of the first book and when he'll announce that to us? (And the series, for that matter.)
