As some have pointed out, it's been a while since I posted the 'story so far' post for the eleventh
Wheel of Time novel,
Knife of Dreams. With the fourteenth and final book due for release on 8 January, that leaves me with a week to summarise
The Gathering Storm and
Towers of Midnight.
Unfortunately, it now looks like this will not happen. A combination of two rapid changes of jobs, constant six-day weeks since mid-November and the requirements of doing these summaries (about 8-9 hours of work, basically requiring a full working day of effort) have left me little chance to work on the project. I've done about 30% of
The Gathering Storm so far and might just manage to finish that off before AMoL comes out, but definitely not the complex-to-summarise (due to its convoluted timeline)
Towers.
I will complete the project, as I know many people will not get to
Memory of Light until it comes out in paperback or ebook (the ebook version has, once again, been ludicrously delayed until several months after the hardcover), but sadly not in time for the release of the hardcover. Apologies for that. In the meantime, I can recommend Encyclopedia WoT's summaries of
The Gathering Storm and
Towers of Midnight.
My traditional year review/preview posts will be along as normal in the next few days, however.
