View original postFrom Sanderson's blog, written when the book was released: "The sequence (it is more than one scene) that I am referring to most of the time when I talk about this encompasses the entire epilogue of A Memory of Light. Once you get there, you can know you're reading Robert Jordan's words, though of course there are other scenes scattered through the book that he worked on too."
View original postThe entire chapter was written by Jordan, though I believe Sanderson/Harriet added a few small tweaks.
People keep saying that it wasn't enough (I agree) - that makes me wonder if he meant to put more into the final chapters, or truly thought this end was appropriately satisfying. I don't have the book (library does), so I can't re-read the epilogue right now to refresh. Thoughts, people?
What was the "ending" that RJ had in mind for all of these years?

That was what he wrote, so I would say yeah

But was it only that one small, specific scene? Not the entire epilogue chapter? *NM*

There were a LOT of parallels between the epilogue and the first prologue in EOTW

The entire story, including the re-Sealing of Shai'tan's bore, was RJ's story.

Rand was already mad by that point. This is pretty well established. *NM*

He was going mad for mundane reasons, but he was actually going mad faster

I'm of the opinion that we we will never know the exact details

I like to think that he intended to give more of the secendary characters their payoff
