I actually already knew about this, for once. A few days ago I had the good fortune to attend a reading series hosted by (you guessed it) Brandon Sanderson. He talked a bit about his upcoming book, and briefly mentioned Towers of Midnight. Afterward, he did some book signings and showed a few sketches that are apparently going to be included in his next book "The Way of Kings". It was very interesting and cool.

To my surprise, I bumped into him again the next day as I was eating at the cafeteria (I'm a college student, if you haven't guessed it ). I was sitting there eating my lunch when Brandon and some other guy (by the look of it he was some sort of literary professor) sat down at the table adjacent to mine, and started chatting about writing, and WOT. While I wasn't privy to information such as who killed Asmodean (), it was good to see that Brandon was so enthusiastic about his work, and that WOT was in good hands.
