[a:Brandon Sanderson|38550|Brandon Sanderson|http://d.gr-assets.com/authors/1201547425p2/38550.jpg] had a very difficult challenge: to take the wonderfully creative world that Robert Jordan had created, and to put it back on track after Robert Jordan had lost control of the direction and plot. The last few books by Jordan had been almost painful, and they made it clear that the series would never finish.

Sanderson wrote the last three books, starting with [b:The Gathering Storm|1166599|The Gathering Storm (Wheel of Time, #12; A Memory of Light, #1)|Robert Jordan|http://d.gr-assets.com/books/1312064325s/1166599.jpg|1920889] and continuing with [b:Towers of Midnight|8253920|Towers of Midnight (Wheel of Time, #13; A Memory of Light, #2)|Robert Jordan|http://d.gr-assets.com/books/1358109459s/8253920.jpg|7338128] he was doing a good job of returning to a plausible narrative. With this last book he pulled it off masterfully. I read it in a week and was riveted, and felt that he pulled it all in and developed a fantastic conclusion. I also felt that the hundreds of characters developed by Jordan played their parts.

The majority of the book is dedicated to the last battle, which is plausibly described, both from military and fantasy points of view.

With this final book in place I strongly recommend reading the series, and being patient through the difficult parts (books 6-11), knowing that Sanderson gives you a wonderful conclusion.
