The Wheel of Time

[claidheamhmor]

I  bought and read the final book of Robert Jordan's "The Wheel of Time" series, A Memory of Light. In many ways it was nice to get to the end of the series (though perhaps I should go and read the last few books again to get to grips with it properly), and I enjoyed seeing what happened to all of the characters, but on the downside, most of the book was about the Final Battle, and all the fighting really did take ages.

Still, I'm glad it's done. I will miss the anticipation of what was going to happen with each character though. What an amazingly complex series.

You've kept up with TWoT all these years? I could barely make it through volume three!

It's long, but I like the characters and the extreme world detail and plot machinations. I've read up to books 7 or 8 several times (every time I had exams!), and subsequent ones once or twice each. Books 7 to 9 dragged a lot. Apparently Robert Jordan had something like 300000 pages of notes.
