Egwene strode back onto the killing fields, bringing the fury of the Amyrlin with her.

I devoted 2014 to reading the Wheel of Time series and it's with a mix of happiness and sadness that I finish the series. This was an ambitious story and I'm glad it was given a proper ending. Like the previous books Sanderson wrote for this series this is a five star read. Everything in the previous 13 books has lead to this moment. Stories or characters from forgotten timelines, plots from old books, or artifacts you thought were misplaced, all come back and make for one epic read.

The last few books have been so high paced they were an exhausting read, and this one is no different. From page one the story hits the gas and doesn't let up until the end. I felt as exhausted as a Borderlander in battle reading this because there were no breaks, no comedic moments or amusing side adventures; everything was on the line as the Last Battle approached and the story delivered.

Any frustrations I had with some of the lower rated books has been erased with the last few instalments by Sanderson and leaves me satisfied with how it ended.
