I DID IT!!! I finished this series! 14 books, 11,564 pages, 4,287,886 words, and countless moments of laughter, tears, anger, frustration, entertainment later and I have finished this series. However, I do not imagine reading them again in the near future! I loved these characters. They were flawed and made me so angry at times but they were realistic and Jordan/Sanderson somehow made them feel so human. I was amazed by the magic system in this series and the way good and evil were not as black and white as some authors envision. I reveled in Jordan’s world that thrived in shades of grey. However, the amount of characters and the worldbuilding got in my way of interpreting the story. I know that YA literature is my favorite for a reason. I want plot with purpose but not purpose and meaning without plot. I look forward to delving into Brandon Sanderson’s new YA series (Skyward) next in order to get back to a faster, more succinct plot line!
The Wheel of Time turns and Ages come and go, leaving memories that become legend. Legend fades to myth, and even myth is long forgotten when the Age that gave it birth returns again. In the Third Age, an Age of Prophecy, the World and Time themselves hang in the balance. What was, what will be, and what is, may yet fall under the Shadow.
When Robert Jordan died in 2007, all feared that these concluding scenes would never be written. But working from notes and partials left by Jordan, established fantasy writer Brandon Sanderson stepped in to complete the masterwork. With The Gathering Storm (Book 12) and Towers of Midnight (Book 13) behind him, both of which were # 1 New York Times hardcover bestsellers, Sanderson now re-creates the vision that Robert Jordan left behind.
Edited by Jordan’s widow, who edited all of Jordan’s books, A Memory of Light will delight, enthrall, and deeply satisfy all of Jordan’s legions of readers.
