Publisher's summary

Now an original series starring Rosamund Pike as Moiraine!

Since its debut in 1990, The Wheel of Time® by Robert Jordan has captivated millions of readers and listeners around the globe with its scope, originality, and compelling characters.

The Wheel of Time turns and Ages come and go, leaving memories that become legend. Legend fades to myth, and even myth is long forgotten when the Age that gave it birth returns again. In the Third Age, an Age of Prophecy, the World and Time themselves hang in the balance. What was, what will be, and what is, may yet fall under the Shadow.

The seals of Shayol Ghul are weak now, and the Dark One reaches out. The Shadow is rising to cover humankind.

In Tar Valon, Min sees portents of hideous doom. Will the White Tower itself be broken?

In the Two Rivers, the Whitecloaks ride in pursuit of a man with golden eyes, and in pursuit of the Dragon Reborn.

In Cantorin, among the Sea Folk, High Lady Suroth plans the return of the Seanchan armies to the mainland.

In the Stone of Tear, the Lord Dragon considers his next move. It will be something no one expects, not the Black Ajah, not Tairen nobles, not Aes Sedai, not Egwene or Elayne or Nynaeve.

Against the Shadow rising stands the Dragon Reborn....

A Perfect Ending...

...and yet, there is no such thing as an end.

I revisited this series in audio format a few months ago and it was such a nostalgic journey going through the books again for the first time in many years. I was not disappointed and as the story moved along, I found myself so emotionally attached the characters, even more so knowing that the end of the series was near. I am sad that it is over and that concludes Robert Jordan’s creation. Brandon Sanderson did a wonderful job of completing Jordan’s work. In truth, I hope that others take up the pen and continue with the many untold tales hinted at in this epic world.

He came like the Wind.

Three years later, here I am at the last book of the Wheel of Time. My friends from the Two Rivers have all become heroes and march towards the Last Battle. I laughed, I cried, I literally shouted for joy. I'm only sad for it all to come to an end... but it is not THE end, just AN end.

Excellent

Great finish to this super long series of books. Well written and performed.
I’ll take a year break and give it another listen as I’m sure I slept through 1/4 of the books.
Enjoy

A good ending.

But there are no endings. The first time I read this over two decades, as they were released. By the time the end came I had forgotten so much.

This time I experienced all 14 novels in six months. It is a great epic. I hope to experience it one or two more times before I wake from this dream.

I nutted at the end absolutely beautiful ending. Everything I’ve ever wanted couldn’t have asked for more without being selfish.

Epic Closes down, pleasant feeling of closure

If you could sum up A Memory of Light in three words, what would they be?

It is over

Who was your favorite character and why?

Rand al'Thor, protagonist, hero makes good in the best way - unexpectedly.

Which character – as performed by Michael Kramer and Kate Reading – was your favorite?

Matrim Cauthon

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

The fight scene where Lan slew Demandred

Any additional comments?

This epic, which I began reading about a week after The Eye of the World was released to paperback, closes in a very satisfying way, with loose ends tied up, but with plenty of possible spin-off stories available for Brandon Sanderson - if he has the gumption to tackle them. Great Read.
