The Wheel of Time turns, and Ages come and pass. What was, what will be, and what is, may yet fall under the Shadow. Let the Dragon ride again on the winds of time.
The whole issue with the digital edition being delayed still leaves a bad taste in my mouth. However, I finally got to read it!
It's sad to say goodbye to so many old friends, but there were also a few laugh out loud moments. It was an ending, a fitting ending. Farewell, my friends, and good luck.
The end. Or perhaps I should say "an" end, since there are neither beginnings nor endings to the turning of the Wheel of Time.
This book is the end of a 14 book series and I'm happy to say I was satisfied with the conclusion. It is not easy to wrap up such a long, epic tale, but Sanderson has done a fine job of it.
