Book 12, the Gathering Storm is coming out on October 27, 2009. I'm kind of optimistic, even though its being completed by a new author since Robert Jordan died. I felt the series had gotten away from him.

My friend read the sample chapters. Essentially the final book is split into three volumes because the notes Jordan left clearly wouldn't fit into one book. Jordan also wrote a good bit of the book before he died. Of what my friend said, you can clearly tell its a different author just because the writing style is different. That's expected; you can't just replicate another author's style perfectly in most situations. He said that despite that, its still very good and since the author reread the entire series before beginning this book, he's "in that mode" while writing the stuff.
