The entire story, including the re-Sealing of Shai'tan's bore, was RJ's story. ImmanuelXavier Send a noteboard - 20/03/2013 11:56:45 PM

So all the events in this book were what he had in his mind, technically. The Sealing really was the ending of the series.

Don't mean to be pedantic, but the way you've written out your post makes it sound like you think sanderson wrote something other than what RJ had planned for the final book.

As for the epilogue, you have to keep in mind that RJ started this series out asking the question: How would it feel like to know you have to save the world, while knowing you are going mad?

Rand had been carrying this spectacular burden that no other human could possibly carry. And after serving his duty, he was free of all burdens and could enjoy the wonders of the worl. The ending of the epilogue was perfect IMO.

What was the "ending" that RJ had in mind for all of these years? - 20/03/2013 04:37:22 AM 1599 Views
That was what he wrote, so I would say yeah - 20/03/2013 03:50:40 PM 1006 Views
But was it only that one small, specific scene? Not the entire epilogue chapter? *NM* - 20/03/2013 08:13:14 PM 458 Views
No, it was the whole epilogue - 20/03/2013 08:29:39 PM 1236 Views

Oh, I'm sure BS wrote all of the main points that RJ wanted..... - 21/03/2013 12:51:08 AM 1057 Views
Rand was already mad by that point. This is pretty well established. *NM* - 21/03/2013 04:02:33 AM 412 Views
I'm of the opinion that we we will never know the exact details - 21/03/2013 10:11:43 PM 977 Views
I like to think that he intended to give more of the secendary characters their payoff - 22/03/2013 02:48:47 AM 854 Views
