How funny, I was just about to write an update on this! Brandon Sanderson is a very talented author, but... his strengths are different from RJ's (in other words, he carries plots extremely well, but his characters run the risk of being a bit like cardboard sometimes). I'm hesitant about the idea, but then again, the only person I'd be truly comfortable with writing the books died in September =/ In lieu of that... well, Harriet was editing for RJ before I was born, so I agree had a pretty good idea of what type of author would work.
Hopefully since the characters are already well established, that ought to help! At least he doesn't have to figure out what everyone's like, just keep it up. But yea, with Harriet there to watch over it and continue to edit, I have hopes for it.

I miss RJ too, though :(

It was smart of TOR to let Harriet pick the Author. I think once we saw she'd be supervising everyone figured it'd be okay.
