Yeah, THIS is what we all came here for, this is the ending this epic fantasy tale deserved.

Practically all lose ends are tied up, some maybe a tad hasty (like Padan Fain), but everything feels very satisfactory. And epic. Who'd have guess having 400+ pages of battle, war, fighting, struggle, dying could be so awesome.

Tons of people die. Of course. Lots of heroes are undone, new ones made. There's twists upon turns upon revalations. It's all truly wonderful and fantastic.

And best of all: There's no needless repetitions of stuff said 11 times over in prior books. So it's all meat and no gristle.

This book makes reading through 13 other times absolutely worthwhile.
