I’ve been a little behind in my reading of Brandon Sanderson’s blog. I just read his entry from the end of March when he talks about his “collaboration” with Robert Jordan in completing A Memory of Light.

This part has me all choked up:

Collaborating with Robert Jordan seemed to set me too high in the process. I’m finishing the Master’s work for him, since he is unable to. I kind of feel like Sam, carrying Frodo the last few paces up the mountain.

Maybe I’m just a big old sap, but that just pulls at my heartstrings.

All choked up by Brandon Sanderson’s words

Tor announced that Brandon Sanderson will complete Robert Jordan’s final book in the Wheel of Time series, A Memory of Light.

Robert Jordan’s wife, Harriet, chose Sanderson to complete the novel, and she will edit it as she has edited all previous books in the series.

I am unfamiliar with Brandon Sanderson’s work, but I will be taking a look at Dragonmount’s interview with him to see what I can learn.

A Memory of Light is slated to be completed by the end of 2008 and published in Fall 2009.
