I really don't know what's taking him so long to get the next one out, but I wish he'd hurry up already. I was really taken with the first few books, they gave me hope in epic fantasy series again.
A word of warning though, they are pretty graphic with violence and sexuality--definitely more adult than previous series I'd read.

After finishing the first book I was going to start the second one and heard it was also very well written. But after learning about how long this series is taken, I decided to stop before I become too emotionally attached.
Seems like the author has been doing a lot of traveling and that finishing this series isn't on his priority list. I've read that he predicted book 5 to be out in 2006 than 2008. Well it's now 2010..... Perhaps he got irked that the publishers forced him to split up the 4th and 5th books.
Now I've decided to start the Mistborn trilogy written by Brandon Sanderson. Interesting read so far!
For Wheel of Time. I believe Robert Jordan wrote most of the novels and unfortunately passed away before completing the last book to the novel. The last book in the series was picked up by Sanderson and I think the last novel will now be broken into three parts. Sanderson has completed the first one and there are two more to come. I think the second one from Sanderson should be out very soon.
