Which character in The Wheel of Time was the easiest to comprehend, which one proved to be hardest to conceive? How did it feel like to be one of the first people to know how the Wheel of Time series will end? Can/will you tell us the closing sentence of The Wheel of Time?
Perrin was the easiest, for the same reasons as I called him my favorite above. Mat was the hardest for me to write, because his humor is so different from my own.
The ending has already been written by Robert Jordan, and as a reader I found it extremely satisfying when I reached it. And so I feel very confident that the ending of the next book is going to be what everyone has been hoping for and wanting—without being exactly what they expect. I think the ending that Robert Jordan wrote is just wonderful. But in another respect I’m a bit sad, because I won’t get to experience the ending for the first time when a new Wheel of Time book comes out in the bookstores like everyone else will.
If you do a search online you can find a few words that Robert Jordan said about the closing sentence of the Wheel of Time before he passed away. It’s out there in an interview. I won’t say whether it’s going to stay that way or not, because essentially what he says is “This is what it would be if I wrote it right now, but it often changes” and things like that. He wrote it, not me, so I don’t feel right giving a spoiler on that. But if you look around, the interview is out there where he said some words on it.
RJ did say in a 2002 interview that if he had written the last scene in 1984, the last word of the series would have been “world”. In 2002, he said it might have been “turns”.
