Rand kills the dark one, Egwene finnally gets some nookie, then Gawyn puts on one of the Senchan rings and dies. Lots of braid pulling, sniffing, and adjusting of skirts . . .0

I have a very off the wall theory. You all know rands blood must be spilled on the rocks. Well what if Elayne gave birth there. The children are Rand's blood and we all know there lots of blood and other fluids in a birth. I don't think this will actually happen just one of my more off the wall theories0

aw c'mon spoliers!
I realized that I've somehow missed the last 3 books (happens when you read non-stop for 3 years in nursing school, you just don't want to pick up a book ever again) and reading brief summaries I can't remember the storyline at all. Needless to say I'll be spending money to buy the books (again...some got loaned, some got lost, some got sold) to read the whole thing over again. Will be nice to know there actually is an ending now!0 -

You have exceeded the 2 year spoiler free window. and there is only 1 mild one in there, but you know about it in the books before the characters do.0 -
Somewhere on the internet is a WOT drinking game that would have you sloshed before the end of a chapter. One of the rules reads everytime on of the girls sniffs take a shot0

I can't wait!! And $20 isn't that bad for a hardcover. Jordan says he knew the ending when he began writing the series so I expect it to be epic. Bittersweet that the wait is about to over. Gonna power read that book like none other.0

Today is the day yaaaaayyyy.. Cant wait for work to be over so I can start reading. I'm even buying take out for dinner so I will not have to cook lol0

I'm over 10 hours into listening to it already

I read 750 pages last night (I read fast) OMG so good. so far very happy with it0

I am listening, so it is a bit slower. I am a little less than half way done.0

I'm way behind on this series... I read all of the books and a week after I finished the last one that Robert Jordan actually wrote he died.. I heard some bad things about the first post mortum book, so I haven't bothered to pick it up..
Should I read the final two or are they not worth it?0 -
My husband reads the series, so starting last night I was a single parent.
Anyways, DH said he wasn't as disappointed with the second to last book as he thought he would be, he's also read more of Brandon Sanderson's books and become a fan of his. My opinion, I've only read the first book, some of the books in the series are very slow and if you can get through those its worth finishing the series.0 -
I finished it ..... Amazing.. it made me cry a little too. hurry up at read people so I have some to talk about it with lol0
-
As soon as it shows up from Amazon, I'll be reading it non-stop!0

THe post mortum books are much faster paced, but the literature critics can tell the differences. For me I only noticed that Mat and the Aiel are a bit off, but the rest flowed well and it got better in the last 2 books.0 -
This is really the last one?
I stopped after Book 11 I think (Crossroads of Twilight?), so haven't read any of the post-mortem stuff. I've sort of been holding off until it was actually finished, to read the whole thing in one continuous sequence, but I've heard that the latest ones are decent.
Unfortunately I've just decided to embark on a reread of aSoIaF, so I might just get to this around the time the paperback comes out
One question though, if you were rereading the entire series, where would you read New Spring? Any news of Sanderson writing any follow-ups to that?0 -
This is the last book that will be written. There is an encyclopedia coming out at some point, but no new fiction. Harriet cancelled the contract for the additional 3 books because Jordan only left a sentance each to explain. This came straight from her mouth at a Q&A at the Charleston signing.0

funny story i can only tell fellow woters....
i got memory of light for my BF, and after finishing it, he complained about some loose ends. namely, he was frustrated moiraine just showed up without any explanation of how she got out of the tower.
fast forward a month, i just finished knife of dreams and was looking for towers of midnight. couldn't find it in our bookshelf.
we looked online, discovered we had never purchased it, and in fact, my bf had never read it.
haha...anyways going to b & n tonight to pick it up, and then we're fighting over it for the next week or so until i crush it in preparation for a MoL!
KoD ended beautifully...so excited for Towers of Midnight.0 -
I did not read past the opening post in an effort to remain spoiler free.
Yes that does mean I have not started the book. I feel ashamed.0 -

Yay! A fellow audiobook-er. If that's a thing.
I listen on my (hour long, each way) commute to work. Perfect time to "read" since I don't have time otherwise.
Michael Kramer and Kate Reading are badass too. Especially Kramer; the amount of different tones and inflections that he can make distinct from one another is just astounding. Like with the three main characters; you could tell if Rand, Mat or Perrin were talking, and he didn't even change the tone up too much but rather had a very unique cadence for each of their speech patterns.
*ahem*
Anyway, I finished the book about a month ago. It was pretty darn good! I have to admit that I teared up a little bit at the last lines, especially with how epic the narrator made them sound.
I only have one complaint about the book. MAJOR SPOILER ALERT!!!!!! You've been warned.
The part after the last battle where Mat squares off with Fane was a bit underwhelming. I realize he got a ton of "screen time" being the commander in The Last Battle but...still. There's Perrin, who finally realizes his true self and partakes in an epic battle, hopping across dimensions of existence in his battle with Slayer. Rand faces off against The Dark One, and they battle each other by toying with the very threads of creation to assert their own vision of time and reality itself. Then...Mat, who has been pretty much a badass the entire series...plays dead and stabs a dude with a knife. Boop, done. Very little buildup and kind of anti-climactic.
Otherwise I enjoyed this one. Sanderson is probably my favorite author and I was happy with what he did with the series. It's hard to say whether HE sped up the pacing or whether it was just Jordan's previous plot lines finally coming to fruition, but it was nice to see things moving along nicely in the last three books.0
