“The reason I love ‘WoT’ so much is that it is so intricate,” said university student Dan Goulet of Ontario, Canada. “Some consider him the next (J.R.R.) Tolkien; some say he’s better because Tolkien was simply a linguist. I put them on equal ground.”
Apparently lots of others do, too. By late 1998, more than 10 million hardcover and paperback copies of the books were in print. The series has also been translated into at least 16 languages. When asked for more current sales figures, Tor representatives would only say that sales have increased by 30 percent for each successive volume. Tor shipped 200,000 more copies of Winter’s Heart than the previous installment of the series. And both Winter’s Heart and Book Eight, Path of Daggers , spent several weeks on The New York Times’ hardcover bestsellers list.
