This is the first book of the Wheel of Time not completely
written by Robert Jordan (although from my understanding Mr. Sanderson had a
huge support system, chunks of manuscript to work with and lots of detailed
notes). Brandon Sanderson does a pretty
terrific job. He actually compliments
Jordan’s style and voice quite well even if you can tell someone else is
writing (which is completely fine). To
know that this epic tome will have an end is wonderful and this first part of
the conclusion gives me a lot of hope.
First it’s very entertaining. The
best story line deals with Egwene al'Vere as she lives as a prisoner in the
White Tower but continues to fight for the right to be the true Amyrlin. And then there’s Rand’s main plot that grows
to a moment that is impressive if a bit of a stretch. Still this is all very good. A lot is going to happen and I can’t see how
it unfolds. Grade: A
