Probably one of the most epic "epic fantasy" books ever written.

In my opinion Sanderson finished the series in a way Jordan couldn't have hoped to.

This book is not my favourite, not even the top 3, that honour goes to The Gathering Storm and then Knife of Dreams. I'd say it's closer towards the middle of the entire series. But it is an end to this beautiful series, a series with such great world-building, characters, culture and nation-building. I am sad to see it end.

Without spoiling, this was a good book, but honestly not as good as I wished it to be. There are many questions that I feel are still left hanging. A solid ending and I feel absolutely numb to have to end a series of this length.

Chapter 37-40 man, sigh.

An epic conclusion to a fantastic fantasy series. While Mr Sanderson's writing can not replace that of Jordan's he did an admirable job of concluding this series.

What an ending! 

I have to honestly say, that I was worried that the ending for the Wheel of Time wouldn't capture the essence of everything that was established throughout the rest of the books, but I'm glad to say I was wrong, this book is quite amazing. And even though most of the events happen in a single important event, the pacing of the book feels quite fast.

Even though I would've liked to have some issues better explored and some things written in Jordan's descriptive narrative, the book felt true to the fans and Jordan's legacy.

If this ending gives us any hint on how The Stormlight Archive is going to finish, well we're going to be impressed.

And after finishing such agreat saga all I can do is to thank Robert Jordan for introducing such an interesting and wonderful world, and for having the thought for all of his fans such that he prepared for the event of his untimely death so that everyone could see how he envisioned the ending of this amazing and wonderful book.

The Wheel weaves as it wills, so who knows when I'll be able to revisit the saga.
