A Memory Of Light
Das Vermächtnis des Lichts
by Robert Jordan, Brandon Sanderson
Since 1990, when Robert Jordan’s The Wheel of Time® burst on the world with its first book, The Eye of the World, readers have been anticipating the final scenes of this extraordinary saga, which has sold over forty million copies in over thirty languages. When Robert Jordan died in 2007, all feared that these concluding scenes would never be written. But working from notes and partials left by Jordan, established fantasy writer Brandon Sanderson stepped in to complete the masterwork. With The Gathering Storm (Book 12) and Towers of Midnight (Book 13) behind him, both of which were # 1 New York Times hardcover bestsellers, Sanderson now re-creates the vision that Robert Jordan left behind. Edited by Jordan’s widow, who edited all of Jordan’s books, A Memory of Light will delight, enthrall, and deeply satisfy all of Jordan’s legions of readers. 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.

This book was such a bittersweet ending. Wheel of time was the series that got me back into reading after such a long hiatus. The highs were high and the lows were low. I mean seriously, Crossroads of Twilight was one of the WORST books I have ever had the displeasure of reading.
That being said, Sanderson closed out the series magnificently. He had so many loose ends to tie up and he just did such a great job. The last battle was everything it was hyped up to be. That single chapter alone is as long as some books! It is without a doubt the greatest battle I have ever read, and it is hard to imagine any other book coming close. The scene with Thom sitting at the top of Shayol Ghul while the world was crumbling around him still sticks so vividly in my mind.
And the characters. We've all loved them and we've all hated them, but the journeys they have taken and the growth they have undergone - from children to leaders of men - was special. Mat, Rand, Egweane, Perrin, Thom, and Loil honestly all are elite characters who I have grown to love.
Duty is heavy as a mountain, death is light as a feather.
The series is not perfect. Robert Jordan sucks at writing women and he sucks at romances, and some of the books he wrote were genuinely god awful. But, at the end of the day, this series is special and will always be a favorite of mine.
