What an epic conclusion to an amazing series. I'm still in awe of how Brandon Sanderson was able to take the world that was so masterfully created by Jordan and master the pacing the way he did.
I have some minor observations like how Sanderson's handling of large scale battles doesn't quite hold up to Jordan's but the individual fights and character arcs were beautiful. I was brought to tears several times. I think every single character's ending was handled with care that was fitting for the love and time spent bringing them to life, regardless of my personal feelings on how each of them ended up.
I will definitely be reading more of Sanderson's work and will also be re-reading the Wheel of Time again. I am heart broken to reach the end but know that there are neither endings nor beginnings to the turning of the wheel of time. But it is an ending, and an ending I deeply and thoroughly enjoyed.
