I almost couldn't find this quote:

He warns that the final book will come, but "It's not going to resolve everything. In the last scene of the last book, I'm going to set a hook." This would lead to, or at least suggest, a possible future beyond the end of the series. It sill suggest that there's more to tell and more stories to come, but "I'm not going to write them." He says that's the way it is in the real world. One of the problems with a lot of books and movies is that all the problems of the main characters, the secondary and tertiary characters, their city, state, country and world... everything is resolved. He wants to "leave [us] with a belief that this world is still going on and living."


I think this statement is very clear. No epilogue, No what happened with x, y and z etc.

Think the ending of the new movie, The Grey.

That was the original plan. I'm not a Jordan purist (like some friends of mine) but I think Sanderson is going into the wrong way.

1. cutting the last book into three - well, I could live with that
2. cutting the prologue into three parts - well, I could live with that
3. write filler parts to get the 300.000 words per books - well, I could live with that

But this, erase the original ending by epilogues ... I think this is really too much.
