Also, with Stormlight, he's structuring it as two 5-book sets, so there will be at least SOME closure before he gets through all 10 of them. Add that to the fact that Sanderson writes INSANELY fast compared to just about anyone else out there, and I'm not too worried that this will turn into another ASOIF.
I never finished WOT, as I was not inclined to read through it a 3rd time when Sanderson picked it up. I will likely never finish ASOIF as I'm not prepared to read through it a 4th time. Loved the original Mistborn, and looking forward to finishing the series when he finishes it.

Stormlight looks really good, but there is no way I am starting a 10 book series at book 1. I'll wait until it's finished, or check it out after the first act of book 5. Thanks to Jordan & GRRM, that's kind of my MO now for reading. Wasn't like that when I was younger.
