December 2020: It's been 7 years since I read this book. And although putting a review here, it was actually the audiobook i've just finished. Thats 17days, 11hrs, 30mins of listening time to listen to the whole series. I started in summer 2018. I've finished in December 2020. I loved it. Absolutely loved it. But what a wrench to finish it up. To put that world to bed and leave it. I could easily read and read and read story after story set in that world, with those character, it feels like home. Having got to the end of the series for the second time (though i've read to various points in the series multiple times over the years) feels momentous, i feel like i understood so much more, and picked up on so much more. I can't wait to feel ready to pick it all up again in the future.

September 2013: What an ask. To bring an end to a 14 book series. To tie off all the ends, and make it as climatic as it needed to be. To have that responsibility not even as the original author.

Sanderson did it. I can't say I'm happy it ended, it's the kind of world you wish could go on forever but Sanderson has managed to use Jordan's ideas and bring about an absolutely superb end to the book. Kudos!
