Interview #610: London Signing Report - Thomas C, Entry #12

Question

The twelfth and final question returned to the Wheel of Time and wanted to know if there were any plans for prequels and outriggers.

Brandon Sanderson

From the point of view as a fan, Sanderson said “yes”, he would love there to be something like this. But from the point of view of the person in charge of Robert Jordan’s legacy, it was a “no”.
