I hate to say this, but Brandon Sanderson writes a better Wheel of Time book than Jordan

that was So Much Fun I cannot believe. things are coming to head, everything is coming together, we’re truly at the end game. 
Egwene won so hard it actually blew me away and I Will cry when Moiraine comes back to find the tower whole again. that said if I don’t get to watch Perrin meet Galad in the next you’ll never hear the end of it

Some of you are probably wondering if I indeed skipped from book four to book twelve in this series. The answer is that, yes, I did. At the risk of annoying some of the Wheel of Time fans, I must admit my motive for reading this series lies in the fact that Brandon Sanderson wrote the last few, and I want to read all his books.

I like the other Wheel of Time books, especially book four but not enough to read the eight 1,000 page long books in between books four and twelve.

I really want to give this five stars simply because so many of the previous books have been really good but frustrating because it seems that before this book Rand has been everyone's punching bag or attempted puppet. Finally! Rand is showing his true power and the other characters as well namely Egwene. If they could all just work together instead of how Min put it, "help him instead of handle him." The reason that I didn't give it five stars is because I anticipate the next to be even better. What a great team Robert Jordan and Brandon Sanderson make. If only they could have had a chance to collab more.

I have to say that while it was quite refreshing to get a faster pace in this book compared to Jordan's last couple of books, Jordan's description was quite moselsed, however I sincerely believe that Sanderson was quite capable of assuming WOT to his style. I'm excited to see what happens, specially knowing that Jordan's original plan for the ending was already written and was respected by Brandon.
