Hmmmm...

Much planning and plotting and evilness. Yeesssss. I've had a pretty good few days, really. Getting the key to the new place. Signing paperwork. I've actually packed five boxes. My CDs and VHS tapes are all packed. I got another chunk of my books put away into boxes.

How strange. I might actually be packed before it becomes crunch time.

I have things to plan and thigns to do and just stuff. I'm glad I'll have most of the weekend. Sad I'm not going to RustyCon, but I can't afford it and I should spend the weekend doing other things.

Oh, so you all know, Crossroads of Twilight has the longest intro section ever. It's like 100 pages. So far - Seanchan = Bad, Children of Light = bad, Something going on in Arad Doman that I don't know whether it is good or bad. Yeah.

I remembered what bothered me most about these books. I always feel as though I need a map when reading any battles. I want to be able to see some interactive screen or something with the troop movements on it, otherwise I have no idea what is happening.

I imagine that someone, somewhere, will make little flash animated scenes to help epople understand some of the battles.

Or at least they should.

damnit.

I just caught a sneezing fit.

I blame you.

The US cover art for the book may be ass (per fireballof3), but the Brit version is much more subdued. Just FYI

Mmmmm. Yeah, that's typically been true all along.

I've not seen it yet; trying to avoid spoilers, but the one thing I do want to know ahead of time is, is it the end of the series or not ?

Ha ha ha ha ha... You think this series will end?

Seriously, though, not a chance. Currently he's saying 13 books. We'll see.

I know that, it was just that Locus' note about the delivery of the manuscript referred to it as the last, as did a note one of the UK-based online bookstores had. *sigh* when I met Jordan, he was saying seven books, and I still have an interview from when the first one came out, claiming it would be four. At this rate even the Dark Tower series will be finished first.

I really don't think this is the last one. Unless they mean last as in latest.

And you're probably right about the Dark Tower thing.
