Now reading...

Well, the time has finally arrived. 23 years after it first began, the Wheel of Time saga is finally completed. This final book is the 14th book in the series (not counting the shorter novella that was published as a prequel), and puts the series at just over 4 million words. This will be a bittersweet book to read. It will finally reach a conclusion we've been building towards forever, but also be the end of the series. But, I've been waiting for the book for over a year, so I'm ready to have at it. I want to take my time reading it, to make it last as long as possible, but I know I will barely be able to put it down. So, without further rambling, the final volume of Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time.



"A Memory of Light" by Robert Jordan and Brandon Sanderson

From BN.com:

Since 1990, when Robert Jordan’s The Wheel of Time® burst on the world with its first book, The Eye of the World, readers have been anticipating the final scenes of this extraordinary saga, which has sold over forty million copies in over thirty languages.

When Robert Jordan died in 2007, all feared that these concluding scenes would never be written. But working from notes and partials left by Jordan, established fantasy writer Brandon Sanderson stepped in to complete the masterwork. With The Gathering Storm (Book 12) and Towers of Midnight (Book 13) behind him, both of which were # 1 New York Times hardcover bestsellers, Sanderson now re-creates the vision that Robert Jordan left behind.

Edited by Jordan’s widow, who edited all of Jordan’s books, A Memory of Light will delight, enthrall, and deeply satisfy all of Jordan’s legions of readers.

The Wheel of Time turns, and Ages come and pass.
What was, what will be, and what is,
may yet fall under the Shadow.
Let the Dragon ride again on the winds of time.
