irriadin 's review for:

Towers of Midnight by Brandon Sanderson, Robert Jordan

5.0

---

The penultimate Wheel of Time book, one of the series of books that has most influenced me. I devoured nearly 900 some pages in less than a week, savoring each and every turn of the page. Sanderson has the world's most unenviable task of finishing Robert Jordan's masterwork, but he is succeeding wildly. I laughed at the antics of some of my favorite characters, cheered them along their battles and relished their victories, but this book more than any other in the series exemplifies tragedy, loss and bone-deep sorrow. A Memory of Light, the final Wheel of Time book, is due for release next and the only thing I can think of is that very soon, I'll have to say goodbye to characters I've grown up with...

Here's to your memory Mr. Jordan, your work has inspired me in countless ways.
