A MEMORY OF LIGHT

Book Fourteen of THE WHEEL OF TIME®

And it came to pass in those days, as it had come before and would come again, that the Dark lay heavy on the land and weighed down the hearts of men, and the green things failed, and hope died.

From Charal Drianaan te Calamon, The Cycle of the Dragon

In the Field of Merrilor the rulers of the nations gather to join behind Rand al'Thor, or to stop him from his plan to break the seals on the Dark One's prison - which may be a sign of his madness, or the last hope of humankind. Egwene, the Amyrlin Seat, leans toward the former.

In Andor, the Trollocs seize Caemlyn.

Review from a long time fan (spoilers for all previous books, but not this one)

This is an incredibly satisfying conclusion to the series.

There really isn't much more I can say without spoilers. If you've gotten this far you're committed, and presumeably you like the series. If so, you won't be disappointed at all by its conclusion.

The end years of reading in the making

Starting the new year by finishing the Wheel of Time series certainly feels like starting with quite an achievement. Having finished the series I find it hard to come to a conclusion about my opinion of the series. Above all this series is a well thought out (and carefully planned) fantasy epic. It really draws the reader into the world, and introduces many finer details that add to the experience. The authors put a lot of thought into how such a world would work. They don't settle for simplistic extensions of the world, but instead introduce many concepts and then let the ways these would be used depend on the characters in the story. Coming back to book 9 of the series, after finishing book 8 in 2015, has been a strange experience. I loved the books back then, and couldn't put them down. When I started reading again, however, …

Review of 'A Memory of Light' on 'Goodreads'

14 books. 11,916 pages. 684 chapters. 4,056,130 words. It took almost 23 years to write, and it took me 10 months to read it. The story is beyond epic, or as Thom Merrilin says, "exquisite". Like many of the epic series I have read (Ringworld, Dune), I am sad to be leaving all the characters. This was my first huge fantasy series (Lord of the Rings seems small compared to this series) and was a great ride. This last book was by far the funnest read. There some surprises I didn't see coming, both good and bad.

Sigh, what to do now? Back to Sci-fi? I think going into another fantasy series wouldn't be fun, since all I will do is compare it to WoT. I hear rumors of an video game. Maybe we can convince Brandon Sanderson to do a fourth age book (or two).
