Since 1990, when Robert Jordan’s The Wheel of Time® burst on the world with its first book, The Eyeof the World, readers have been anticipating the final scenes of this extraordinary saga, which has sold over fortymillion copies in over thirty languages.

When Robert Jordan died in 2007, all feared that these concluding scenes would never be written. But workingfromnotes and partials left by Jordan, established fantasy writer Brandon Sanderson stepped in to complete themasterwork. With The Gathering Storm (Book 12) and Towers of Midnight (Book 13) behind him, both ofwhich were # 1 New York Times hardcover bestsellers, Sanderson now re-creates the vision that Robert Jordanleft behind.

ReviewsPublishers Weekly

Fans of the Jordan's Wheel of Time epic have been waiting 13 books for the Last Battle, and they are about tobe rewarded as Jordan/Sanderson (Towers ofMidnight) bring the series to one final crescendo. It is time forRand al'Thor to face the Dark One in the Last Battle for humanity, but he can't do it alone; he must also gather allof the forces of the world together and turn them, united, against the Trolloc armies that threaten to overwhelm.Those unfamiliar with the series may be left cold by chapter after chapter of battle scenes, death, glory, andheroism, which are interspersed with tactics, politics, and plotting. Those more invested in the series, however,will be on the edge of their seats to witness first-hand the fates of their favorite characters as well as the worlditself. Sanderson successfully channels Jordan's voice to produce this stunningly thorough wrap-up to a long andimpressive series.

“The battle scenes have the breathless urgency of firsthand experience, and the . . . evil laced into the forcesof good, the dangers latent in any promised salvation, the sense of the unavoidable onslaught of unpredictableevents bear the marks ofAmerican national experience during the last three decades, just as the experience ofthe First World War and its aftermath gave its imprint to J. R. R. Tolkien’s work.â€â€”The New York Times

Library Journal

Since the publication of The Eye of the World in 1990, fans have eagerly anticipated how the final battle ofJordan’s groundbreaking “Wheel of Time†epic fantasy series ends. Over the years, readers have cometo know Rand, Mat, Perrin, Egwene, Nynaeve, and many other characters, vicariously joining in their journey tosave the world from the Dark One. At last comes the long-anticipated 14th and concluding volume, and it isdefinitely worth the wait. Sanderson (“Mistborn†trilogy; The Alloy of Law), who was given the task ofcompleting the series when Jordan died in 2007, has done a wonderful job of tying together all the loose ends,sometimes in very surprising ways. Of course, the epilog is the almost unaltered scene (or series of scenes)written and kept secret by Jordan decades ago.

Verdict Anyone who has read the first “Wheel†books will want to read this one as well. In fact, anyonewho likes epic fantasy will enjoy it. However, “The Wheel of Time†is such a complex series that one mustread the titles in order to avoid confusion at all of the twists and turns.

Kirkus Reviews

"There are no endings, and never will be endings, to the turning of the Wheel of Time." Even so, with this volume,the late Jordan's hyperinflated Wheel of Time series grinds to a halt. Jordan (Eye of the World, 1990, etc.), hererevived by way of the extensive notebooks, drafts and outlines he left behind by amanuensis Sanderson (creativewriting/BrighamYoung Univ.), was an ascended master of second-tier Tolkien-ism; the world he creates is asdensely detailed as Middle-earth, and if the geography sounds similar, pocked with place names such as FarMadding and the Blasted Lands, that's no accident. Tolkien-esque, too, is the scenario for this saga-closer,namely a "last battle" in which the forces of good are arrayed against those of darkness. The careless readermight take this to be a battle of hairdressers in a West Indian neighborhood: "The Dreadlords came for himeventually, sending an explosion to finish the job. Deepe spent the last moments throwing weaves at them. Hedied well." That's not the case, of course: instead, saga heroes Mat Cauthon and Perrin Aybara range the landsbeyond the Dark One's prison to do allmanner of good and adventuresome things. It's a strange world, that:Perrin finds the pit to end all pits, "[a]n eternal expanse, like the blackness of the Ways, only this one seemed tobe pulling him into it." But then, what kind of epic would it be if it weren't a strange place? Will wolves and orcs—or whatever they are—take over the world, or will the good guys prevail? Jordan's fans, who are legion, will

most decidedly want to learn the answer to that question.

“MichaelKramer and Kate Reading have been the masters of the Wheel of Time series from the very firstbook to this fourteenth, and final, book…They present the unfolding of the many themes with infinite patienceand consistent tones of engagement with the characters and events.†–AudioFileMagazine, EarphonesAward winner

“The clear, well-paced, and intense performances by Kate Reading and MichaelKramer, who narrated theentire series, provide an excellent delivery of a complex and gargantuan tale.†– Library Journal

Rating this a 1 because there is no ebook is stupid and childish. Really, grow up.

This book is an AMAZING finale to an equally AMAZING series. Brandon Sanderson does a great jobfinishing up where Robert Jordan left off. The characters are rich and entertaining, and the plot plays outbeautifully. This is by far my absolute favorite series ever. Hands down.

FOR ANYONEWHO HAS READ JORDAN FROM THE BEGINNING I FIND FUNNY THATALLTHESE PEOPLEWOULD BASH THIEWORK OVER IT NOT BEING ON E-BOOK "SAMEONYOUALL". THE STORY IS HIS MASTER PIECE. I for one amglad he wrote it.

This book is phenomenal. Sanderson and Team Jordan (including Jordan's editor and wife, Harriet) had adaunting task, picking up the baton from Jordan and finishing the Wheel of Time. Thankfully, they took on thetask, and have done an amazing job.

I enjoyed both of the previous two "collaborations" by Brandon Sanderson and Robert Jordan agreat deal. But AMemory of Light is leaps and bounds better than them. The character voices are spot-onthroughout. Mat Cauthon felt a little off to some of us, especially in The Gathering Storm, but Sanderson hasbeen getting himbetter and better, and Mat really shines here. Rand is the best he's been in ages. All of the

characters are true to themselves, and the Last Battle is maybe evenmore epic, heart-wrenching, and engrossingthan expected. If you're a fan who was worried that the Dark One and his minions were incompetent, worry nomore! If you feared that the ending wouldn't satisfy the anticipation, worry no more! One of the best reads ofmylife, truly. Thank you Brandon, Harriet, and everyone involved. P.S. Ebook readers - I can't wait to get it onebook myself. But that's a separate issue. Review the content. If you want to bash on a publisher or booksellerfor not having it on the right platform, more power to you, but complain about that in the appropriate forum, notin a review intended to help people decide if they'll like the book. They don't need you to tell them if they want iton ebook or hardcover!
