Brandon Sanderson tweeted saying he's done with draft one of A Memory of Light, the final Wheel of Time book!
We know that he isn't touching parts of the story that have already been written by Robert Jordan. We also saw a lot of improvement between the previous two books, and certainly we shall see a fantastic series ending novel!
There is a lot happening in the books just now, building towards the climax - Rand's mind is whole, the men's Black Tower is a crazy place, Semirhage, Graendal, Mesaana lie defeated, the White Tower stands united; On the flip side, Moridin's grand plan is yet unveiled, the Aiel undead is a surprise twist, we still don't know the song the Leaf People have (and perhaps the travellers are looking for...) AND MORE. There are tons of unresolved questions and prophecies, so this book is really going to have a lot riding on it.
Second half of 2012 is the release!

I've actually been avoiding reading the WoT books published after Jordan's death, just because I'm afraid of being disappointed and falling out-of-love with this amazing series. I've read other series that a ringer had to be brought in after the author died, and the new author, while good, was never able to capture that spark the original author had. I think a part of me would rather not know how these characters' journeys ended than be disappointed in the books lacking that Jordan-esque magic.
