I finished The Gathering Storm (Wheel of Time #12) by Robert Jordan and Brandon Sanderson last night.
I read book 11 in hardback around the time it came out, which was late 2005, and then Robert Jordan died, the series was eventually finished by some nobody named Brandon Sanderson, and although I bought the remaining 3 books, I never quite got around to reading them.
Now, 18 or 19 years later, I decided to continue. I didn't bother re-reading anything, or even a summary of book 11, so the beginnning was a little confusing, but it mostly came back to me as I went along. There were a few things I didn't think had happened yet, which made me wonder if I'd accidentally skipped to book 13, but I guess I'd just forgotten. (I did read Knife of Dreams, right?)
Anyway, I enjoyed it a lot, and look forward to finishing the series in 40 years or so.
