A review by goobdiddy
A Memory of Light by Brandon Sanderson, Robert Jordan
5.0
2024 March 28: Update after re-read: I still stand by this review! I did read it again 11 years later, and liked enough that I read the last 400 pages in one sitting...
Finally! A finish to this grand epic of a series. Sanderson did a great job of working from Robert Jordan's notes and partial work to finish this thing off, and do it well. Since this is the last battle, much of this book is devoted to describing the actual fighting (in one giant chapter, no less!), but we at last have closure to the vast majority of the plot lines.
This is still one of my favorite fantasy series, and I certainly think that in 5-10 years, I'll be able to pick it up for a re-read from start to finish and enjoy it again. Now, if only they could make this into a TV series that would somehow not suck. Maybe we can borrow those GOT guys in their off season...
