Knife of Dreams by Robert Jordan
4.0

Though it doesn't, in my mind, justify the very low rate of interesting things happening in books 8-10, KoD is extremely exciting; the latter half of the book feels like all the dominos we've been setting up are falling down in thrilling ways.

It makes me very happy that Jordan's last entry in his own series is so strong. It would be a sadder thing if he'd continued to stagnate in his writing only to be replaced by Sanderson, but this book is a clear return to, and in many ways a transcendence of, the high quality and excitement of earlier entries in the series.
