For TGS there'd been the long wait and worry we'd never see WOT finished at all, so there was a high level of anticipation. That's not there this time, so it's less. As much as there was for any pre-TGS book.
From the prologue and chapters 1 & 8 ToM has been closer to 'pure RJ' WOT then TGS was. Whilst still lacking the subtlety of Jordan's writing, after TGS and the bits of ToM we've seen so far I'm less worried then I was pre-TGS.
There's still plenty to look forward to in ToM, but there's also Perrin's storyline. Perrin has been a pain to read since he married Faile (who is my least favourite character), so that lessens my anticipation. Though it's offset largely by more Mat.

How does your anticipation level for ToM compare with TGS?

What are you on? KOD came out in 2005. That's 5 years by my count *NM*

Far less, but only because we didn't have to wait 4 years between books this time *NM*

Supposed to be pretty good, so I'm willing to give him a chance.

Mistborn is great. Give it a chance. Elantris wasn't bad for a first release, either. *NM*
