That's true, but I was surprised how few people responded to the release of the biggest fantasy release in years that ends one of the most beloved series in fiction.


well, it was kind of an odd time of year to release it.  Probably would have had more hype if they had moved up the release a few weeks to before christmas...

edit: Also, I think Robert Jordan lost a lot of readers before sanderson took over.  I don't know that many people that have started the series and stuck with it till the end...

Yeah, a lot of people like WoT but it's also one of the more disparaged series in the fantasy genre, as well, and a good number of people who were into it at first have dropped it.  Personally, word of mouth has kept me somewhat disinterested, so it's never been at the top of my list to try.
