(Thank you, Hachette. \ud83d\ude42 )<\/p>\n<p>As I said then, I was delighted to have the opportunity to be part of the giveaway, because as both an epic fantasy lover, as well as an author, I really feel that this is an &#8220;epic&#8221; moment. After all, this series began almost quarter of a century ago and bringing it to completion has required another author, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.brandonsanderson.com\/\">Brandon Sanderson<\/a> to pick up <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Robert_Jordan\">Robert Jordan&#8217;s<\/a> creation and complete it to the satisfaction of the Wheel of Time&#8217;s dedicated readership. The stuff of epics indeed.<\/p>\n<p>I also linked entry for the giveaway to a series of questions. I hope not difficult questions&#8212;for readers of the series at any rate. And that is the very reason I asked them, because as much as possible I wanted this giveaway to be for those who love the series, many of whom may have followed it for a long time.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_5380\" style=\"width: 107px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/helenlowe.info\/blog\/2011\/05\/13\/so-is-epic-fantasy-misogynist-part-3-the-wheel-of-time-a-song-of-ice-and-fire-series-and-conclusion\/theeyeoftheworld\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-5380\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5380\" class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-5380\" title=\"TheEyeOfTheWorld\" src=\"https:\/\/helenlowe.info\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/TheEyeOfTheWorld-97x150.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"97\" height=\"150\" srcset=\"https:\/\/helenlowe.info\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/TheEyeOfTheWorld-97x150.jpg 97w, https:\/\/helenlowe.info\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/TheEyeOfTheWorld-195x300.jpg 195w, https:\/\/helenlowe.info\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/TheEyeOfTheWorld.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 97px) 100vw, 97px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-5380\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">And it began with this in 1990...<\/p><\/div>\n<p>From reading the posts, those who commented seem to have enjoyed the questions.
