The second to last volume to the collusion of the Wheel
of Time takes us through a series of events we’ve been waiting to see for some
time. Rand and Egwene reunite, now at
the height of their powers. Perrin
accepts his role as a leader of an army and a man connected to wolves. Mat Cauthon goes on a mission that will
challenge his luck. Sanderson is
bringing it all together and the characters seem to have reached the apex of
their growth. They’re all grown up as
it were. Now we get to the BIG battle
and I can’t help but feel like it’s going to be spectacular. I do still miss Jordan’s sense of deliver
but Sanderson is very skilled. There’s
no question that the story is in good hands. What’s especially nice is there are moments (like the battle to
undermine Mazrim Taim at the Black Tower) that feel like its his own addition and
it all works. I can’t believe I’m
actually going to finish this series after so many years. Is Rand going to really break the remaining
Seals? Will the Daughter of Nine Moons
join the fight or thwart Mat? It’s all
very exciting. Grade: A
