mhpotter's review against another edition
5.0
An exquisite and fitting end to one of the great sprawling epics of the genre. So many pieces fell perfectly into place in the relentless surge toward the final set piece. My quibbles are small and the satisfaction of finally knowing the end far outweighs them - but I will say a 200 page chapter in a 900 page book of 50 chapters seemed a bit much.

Well, I made it through the whole series! In the end, I liked this one, and I could definitely see Sanderson's influence on the series (in a very good way). There was a good chunk in the middle where I didn't think I was going to be able to get through more descriptions of fighting trollocs, but it was worth it.

I really liked the idea that Rand had to let go of the idea that it was all his responsibility, and accept that it was "not about me". There are definite religious overtones to the idea that people will always fight against the darkness, and be willing to sacrifice themselves, but it's still a very hopeful message. I was also *really* pleased that Rand came to the realization that the shadow couldn't exist without the light and vice versa, so killing the dark one would make him no better. However, I thought the very end, with Rand and Moridin somehow switching bodies so Rand got to survive after all, but without any of the responsibility seemed a bit trite. I was also disappointed there wasn't more about the after effects. Yes they won the battle, but there was a lot of other stuff to be tied up. How are they going to cope with the Seanchan? What are they going to do about Graendal? (I didn't particularly like the weave backfiring and enslaving her. Just one more example of the numerous deus ex machina last minute rescues).daneybird's review against another edition

The wheel of time was an incredible series! It took me a year to complete it. The ending felt like saying farewell to dear friends. This is a must read series for anyone who loves fantasy, friendship, and adventure!

This was an epic ending to an epic series. I assumed that there would be piles of dead, and there were. Some of the deaths really killed me. But I appreciated that, in the end, the author(s) gave you back a few who you thought you had lost forever. And that's really the beauty of the Wheel of Time, isn't it? Giving you something you don't have in real life: the assurance that, ultimately, everyone will return, that there are no beginnings and no endings, only life.

Qué de emociones contradictorias pero en resumen, qué gran final.

Estaba mirando si había votado algún libro de la colección pero me pillaron fuera de Goodreads y no lo puse al día. Pero me he encontrado con mi reseña del último y me ha sorprendido un montón. Más que nada porque con el libro me lo pasé pipa, pero el final final final me parece una de las cosas más absurdas y que más me han cabreado. No le voy a cambiar la nota sin volver a leerlo pero jajajajaja
