His site has a progress bar at 70%, which by his numbers means he's written 210k of it. Doesn't look like he's working on anything else either...so knowing the one thing you can always trust Sanderson to do is pump out word count I wouldn't be betting against him making the date he's set.

Spoiler Alert, click show to read:
that scene i was oh fuck!...and the way he used that guy to check to make sure she was dead was just Ruthless... like what was said above, there were a few times i got up and walked across the room and back going Damn!.. you can tell sanderson has put a lot of work and love into this project

as for the daughter of the nine moons, that has already happened i think, when she declared matt her husband- matt fulfilled that part of the prophesy, she is NO LONGER the daughter of the nine moons. The dark one's minions have been twisting those prophesies for a long time now..

one thing i dislike yet like is the fact that the sea folk have basically become supurfluous to the series now yet were a major factor earlier, unlike the aiel where there are several main characters or side characters that are aiel, there are NO sea folk people like that.

the callandar having to be reforged with 3 parts is an interesting theory as well...

would have liked to see Lan in this book he's been regulated to a nonfactor for a few books now.



next book cannot come soon enough

Also, regarding Callandor:

I think the "three" part of it is Mat, Perrin and Rand's ta'veren connection.

I thought that might be the case as well.

"There can be no health in us, nor any good thing grow, for the land is one with the Dragon Reborn, and he one with the land. Soul of fire, heart of stone, in pride he conquers, forcing the proud to yield. He calls upon the mountains to kneel, and the seas to give way, and the very skies to bow. Pray that the heart of stone remembers tears, and the soul of fire, love."
Apparently Sanderson was asked about the problem with grain and growing and he pointed to this as an explanation that it isn't the Dark One, it was Rand growing harsher. Pretty awesome.

Explains why after the balefire incident a shit ton of grain went bad.

I also associated it to Rand's touching the True Power and staining himself with the Dark One's taint, but I'm not done with the book yet so I don't know for certain. I assumed that's what was going on, though.

It's certainly very interesting if the land itself is tied up in the Dragon Reborn's physical and emotional state. I wonder then, if Rand was indirectly responsible for the long summer and winter previously? It all speaks very much to Verin's statement to Egwene when she revealed her Ajah and said Rand's battle with the Dark One was not going to happen the way he was expecting.

Basically, we're being shown that Rand himself is just as deadly dangerous as the Dark One, and that he's become a threat as great as any Forsaken.

Hah, I finished it late as hell, 1:30AM or so on a weeknight, and I couldn't go to bed before coming back to this thread and clicking all the spoilers.

I can't remember exactly but i think Moridin mentions in one of the books that the dark one taxed himself alot to reach into the world enough to make the summer so hot and not end and that he would be annoyed if they used that weather thing to fix it

Finished last night. Awesome ending.

Spoiler Alert, click show to read:
It's either something to do with using callandor in a circle, or it has to do with Rand integrating himself. He's finally merged smoothly and completely with Lews Therin, but he still has a strange... connection to Moridin. It might have something to do with that.
