I prefer him to complete his re-read and have enough time for a good series of round(s) for editing

The last two books had some sloppy sections that weren't caught because Team Jordan was trying to keep their deadlines. I think that for the last book in the series, we owe it to ourselves to give him a bit more time to be comfortable writing the series.
After all, a lot of the remaining subplots involving the surviving Forsaken have their roots in earlier books in the series. If the payoff is to exceed our expectations he may need more time to re-acclimate himself with what is outstanding and what isn't. And maybe there will be less MAFO in the next Q&A series as a result of any delay.

Is it just me, or is Sanderson's re-read of WoT taking an inordinate amount of time?

I would prefer it if he re-read it 5 times. I don't mind waiting.

I would love BS to get a better handle on the characters as well.

My problems with the series have little or nothing to do with Sanderson.

Why should you care. Just stop reading the series.

Because I want to find out how it ends. I was quite clear about that.

It's not like he's just reading for the hell of it.

He probably doesn't think he can afford to skim; which bits are the trivial ones?

After TOM re-reads, more beta readers and lots more edits is the order of the day

That could be just as easily fixed by having a few dedicated proofreaders.

I agree. I don't mind waiting, but it seems this re-read takes longer time than the previous one.

I agree with that sentiment. Team Jordan is there to address these issues.

I'm pretty sure most people around here can, and Brandon Sanderson can too.

He has said that he is starting to write the book since it's taking so long.
