It's finally over, and what a series. 14 books totaling 11,898 pages, over 13 months. The Last Battle chapter in this last book was longer on its own than Harry Potter and the Sorceror's Stone. It was so satisfying to see the end of these character arcs that have lasted for 14 books. Brandon Sanderson (with Robert Jordan's notes) knows how to stick the landing.


It's funny because this was an amazing series, but it's hard to recommend because it's long and has a lot of slow sections. It has a ton of different POVs, but focuses on 7 or 8 main characters. Extremely deep world building, and lots of clues and subtle foreshadowing. If you read it, there's a few books in the middle you can probably skip and read a summary. Series as a whole probably has to be 4 stars due to the bad middle, but the last third of the series is 6 stars
