I've read, re-read and read some more of the books currently available and am eagerly anticipating the final chapters. Brandon Sanderson is not Robert Jordan but the good thing about his entries in to the series (after Jordan's untimely demise) is that he doesn't try to become Jordan. He knows that impersonating the style would feel very hollow and empty and leave readers feeling cheated in a way. However I will say Brandon's own style of writing is very refreshing and whilst he is literally taking Jordan's extensive notes and fleshing them in to a story to finish the series off he is doing an impressive job of doing so. I have definitely got an interest once I am finished with some of my other reading demands right now in getting some of his other work aside from the book(s) he finished for Jordan (bear in mind, the last 3 books of the series, the trilogy written by Brandon is actually 1 book according to Jordan's notes).

I will say my favourite character in the series is Al' Lan Mandragoran his unrelenting will and determination to follow his duty is something I can respect and the words he imparts on Rand and the others Death is but lighter than a feather, Duty is heavier than a mountain ring true in real life serving as quite the inspirational sentiment.

My second favourite story arc is going to have to be that of Mat Cauthon, his story is considerably wittier than any other storyline and whats not to like about witty storyline writing?

I will say my favourite of the books so far has definitely been the original Eye Of The World. I say that because I picked it up randomly in a cheap store which was selling some books at like £1.50 a book. It was the only book on the shelf which I saw which I'd consider buying. I've never been more glad, or more out of pocket due to a £1.50 gambit in my life.
