pickSanderson takes over the #WheelofTime series in book 12. It's obnoxiously long, but then again, sometimes people's struggles are the same way. I found this much easier to engage with versus the final few volumes written before Robert Jordan's passing. Slightly less objectifying of the female body and stereotype than RJ, but still written in the same style. I didn't realize that the final three books were initially supposed to be one.
Anyone else watch the end of season two of #WheelofTime today?
No spoilers..... but so many goosebumps!
I'm really pleased with the direction they've taken in the second season. Even the changes from the books maintain enough of the spirit of things and high points of the plot lines, IMO. I'm excited to see where they go from here!
so-soI'm back from a reading hiatus due to some rugged travels where I didn't have room for hard copies of books in my luggage. I missed this little community (and reliable Internet)!
I'm struggling through this part of the series. I'm interested to see how things will change when Sanderson takes over the writing. For #10, I'm putting forth my earnest efforts to soak it up, be present in the writing, and enjoy it.

I did manage to complete the #valentinesdayreadathon on time thanks to my modest goal of just reading the intro (35 pages and tons of characters). I'm definitely losing steam in the #wheeloftime series but I really want to finish what I started! I wonder if Amazon Prime is going to continue this series or not, I had mixed feelings about season 1. Has anyone else seen it?
Look what came in the mail this Election Day! #WheelOfTime #bookhaul
I'm back! I was traveling around Europe for 5 weeks and not reading as much as usual. But now I am going home, and I'm actually excited about it :) can anyone tell which airport I'm at right now based on this obscure picture?

pick"But it was an ending."
Indeed! I thought this book was a very fitting end to The Wheel of Time. Robert Jordan and Brandon Sanderson did an excellent job tying up all the story lines of the series, some reaching all the way back to Book 1. The book is almost entirely dedicated to The Last Battle, played out on two fronts. The only issue I have is with one group of combatants. You are left asking, "Where did these people come from?"

pickThis is my favorite book in the series yet! All the storylines and character arcs are coming together as all people are marching to The Last Battle. I really enjoyed Perrin's journey in this one. We finally have Mat and Thom's long-awaited mission. Aviendha's vision is very intriguing. It will be interesting to see how it all plays out.

pickThis is the best book of the series since The Shadow Rising, maybe before. Brandon Sanderson does an awesome job of taking the notes Jordan left and increasing the pacing. Egwene really shines in this book. The events around the White Tower are captivating. Rand's battles are most of the rest of the book, leaving us with heavy foreshadowing into Mat's and Perrin's next missions. Definitely looking forward to the last two books!
