Really, in this day and age off free samples, they should just give these books away to everyone and let people who find them enjoyable pay for the rest of the series. They aren't going to get much publicity by giving away a limited number of free copies.

Hopefully Sanderson does a better job than Jordan did at wrapping this up. I stopped reading at book 10 after being bored to tears from endless pages on tea drinking, braid tugging, dress fashion and weevils.

I appreciate being given the chance to win a set of free books! I have all of Brandon's books, except Warbreaker, and all of Jordan's too! Thanks Tor and SFsignal! You folks ROCK!

It's a good giveaway, but of course I'd rather have the whole series. I love the Wheel of Time, started reading the series right before The Dragon Reborn came out. I've never read any of Mr. Sanderson's stuff and now I purposefully will not read anything else of his until after the end of the Wheel of Time. I don't want to be wondering which parts were written by whom. Once the Wheel of Time is finished, I will start on Mr. Sanderson's other works and look forward to doing so.

Book 10 was the worst. Book 11 was much better, with the actual action resuming. True, the events in book 11 probably should have happened in book 9 (or earlier), but he got there eventually. I have great faith in Brandon to wrap things up nicely.

I have only just started getting into Jordan, through a friend harping about him incessantly. And to my great appretiation i have become apalled by how much i dig it. Way to go, intricate, subtle, painstakingly addictive.
