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.
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. Or perhaps I should say "an" end, since there are neither beginnings nor endings to the turning of the Wheel of Time.
This book is the end of a 14 book series and I'm happy to say I was satisfied with the conclusion. It is not easy to wrap up such a long, epic tale, but Sanderson has done a fine job of it.
