![]() ![]() And then there were the moments that hit me right in the feels. Even the most mundane moments in the book were a fairly emotional experience. Reading this book carried a weight with it. This, here, is just pointing it out for those of you who are slow to catch on. If you’ve been paying attention, you can see I’ve already been doing that. So instead I’ll do what I think all reviewers should do with the book. There’s too much baggage (good and bad) to review it the way I would another book. In fact, calling this a review may be a tad misleading. And the reasons for both will be myriad, some more concrete than others. With it being the end, there will be emotions running high, and many will love it. The book itself is going to be polarizing, and that’s simply unavoidable. This is not going to be an impartial review based on story-structure, pacing, characters, plot, and content. Its role as a finale to the biggest fantasy series of our time. So, in my mind, there is only one thing left to review. ![]() It isn’t just professional, it’s carefully crafted. This is Jordan’s finale, not some weekend project. Brandon can take a weekend, vomit some words into a manuscript, send it to Tor, have it be published, and it will still be awe-inspiringly professional. Number two, his writing stands on its own now. Plus, and let’s be honest, at this point in the series you’ll read the book (or not) regardless of what we say. ![]() Those books have already been reviewed and the plot analyzed that some could get degrees on the subject. They have nearly as much of a history of existence as I do. Neither of those things are up for criticism anymore which, in my opinion, is the largest failing of TOWERS OF MIDNIGHT ( EBR Review). It would wobble back and forth between reviewing the series, and reviewing the characters. Opening the cover of this book, and reading those first words, all the way to finishing the last words and closing the book, has been been an inevitability hurtling (sometimes crawling) at me for 17 years or so.ĭrafting reviews for this book has been a frustrating experience. It’s difficult to write a review solely on A MEMORY OF LIGHT ( Amazon), without considering all that has come before. I start it off much the same I way wrote the review for the previous WoT book. This is easily the most difficult review I have had the opportunity write. ![]()
