    "Good ending. Sanderson and Jordan delivered."

    This is the ending that must be. Sanderson wraps the story up, about as neatly as it can be. If you have invested the time to listen to the series, this book certainly is worth your time, One of my favorites of the entire series.

    I would recommend the series of books to a friend. It is most entertaining a very well read.

    "The Last Battle!!!"
    What would have made A Memory of Light better?

    Brandon Sanderson is genius. The only thing that could have made it better is if Robert Jordan wrote it himself. RIP


    What do you think your next listen will be?

    Eat and Run by Scott Jurek


    Would you be willing to try another one of Michael Kramer and Kate Reading ’s performances?

    Absolutely, I have listened to all of their Wheel of Time books and they are fantastic.


    If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from A Memory of Light?

    None!!! They were all necessary to build out the finish!


    Any additional comments?

    Loved and thanks Brandon Sanderson you are an amazing author.

    "Excellent Book!!!! Highly Recommend :-)"
    If you could sum up A Memory of Light in three words, what would they be?

    exciting, dramatic, emotional


    Who was your favorite character and why?

    My favorite character was Perrin. He has been one of my top characters throughout the series but I really just fell further in love with him in this book. I wish Perrin was my friend or brother.


    Have you listened to any of Michael Kramer and Kate Reading ’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

    I have listened to both reading other books in the Wheel of Time series. They both do an outstanding job and really bring the story and characters to life. This is just as good, if not better, than their other books.


    Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

    The ending brought me to tears. I won't go in to details so as not to spoil it for anyone, but it was such a good ending to a series I have spent almost 20 years reading, that I couldn't help but shed tears that the journey was over.


    Any additional comments?

    I love this series and was so excited to read the final book. Although I prefer physical books, listening to books fits with my busy schedule and long commute. This book has been my favorite to listen to so far. The readers do an amazing job and it is well written. I was sucked into the story and would be lost for hours. I highly recommend this series to anyone who likes fantasy or even those who haven't dabbled into that genre yet.

    "Waiting for this book for years!"
    What did you like about this audiobook?

    The series is a must read/listen! Characters change and develop as they age throughout the series. Interesting story just sucks you in with the sheer variety of characters and plot lines.


    How has the book increased your interest in the subject matter?

    The Malkieri king, Lan


    Does the author present information in a way that is interesting and insightful, and if so, how does he achieve this?

    They are awesome in their scope.


    What did you find wrong about the narrator's performance?

    Yes and no. I knew it was the last book and wanted to savor it.


    Do you have any additional comments?

    There are a lot of plot lines that could and should be finished in additional books. I don't know if Mr. Sanderson has plans to continue Jordan's legacy, but I hope someone does!

    Story
    "An epic that needed an editor"
    This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?

    This is a must-read for any Wheel of Time fan, but I have no doubt that it will be a divisive conclusion to the series. Some may be passionate in their love of the final book, but I join the other group who are sorely disappointed.


    What could Robert Jordan and Brandon Sanderson have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?

    I have been a dedicated fan of WoT for years. And while this final installment certainly made for an epic conclusion, it was just too long - or perhaps I should say "underdeveloped." Calling a Wheel of Time book "underdeveloped" seems odd considering the detail the rest of the series offers, but this book seems to be cobbled together from every last fragment of inspiration between both Jordan and Sanderson. Tangents and frivolous fan indulgences cloud the overarching story. I cringed as each new side trail emerged and dragged us further from the primary storyline. Many subplots struck me as thoughts that Jordan left in notes as considerations, but that he would have ultimately cut or developed in other ways. As a reader and a fan, I just wanted to get to the meat of the story. Instead, A Memory of Light offered an abundance of appetizers, and only the smallest presentation of a main course.


    What about Michael Kramer and Kate Reading ’s performance did you like?

    As always, Kramer & Reading's delivery was a welcome accompaniment to the story. I found myself slightly annoyed by Reading's occasional attempts to add an accent to a few of the characters. And I truly wish that there would be some agreement made ahead of time that both Kramer & Reading would pronounce names/places in the same way. But still, this pair make the Wheel of Time come alive. I am grateful that they have stuck with the series from the beginning.


    What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?

    I just wish that there had been less time spent trying to make this a big book, and more effort put into making it a great one. With all the superfluous detail and subplots, the message was clouded and there was a definite lack of those poignant moments that hooked me on the series in the first place. The moment involving Noal and Olver was the only such episode that resonated with me. Quite simply, my thoughts on A Memory of Light are, "Could have been better."

    "Great Finish"
    What did you love best about A Memory of Light?

    This was an extremely satisfactory final installment to a 14-book series. The writing is superb. Brandon Sanderson is a better user of the written language than Robert Jordan ever was, but this is surely almost entirely Jordan's plot scheme. Thank you to both of these excellent authors for this final book and for the series. I have spent many, many hours reading The Wheel of Time.


    What was one of the most memorable moments of A Memory of Light?

    When Egwene finally takes out the enemy channellers.


    Which scene was your favorite?

    The sealing up of the Lord of Chaos.


    Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

    Both. There were some character deaths that made this very difficult at times.


    Any additional comments?

    If you haven't read any of Sanderson's own books, I highly recommend them.
