Absolutely amazing!

It took a couple of tries to get into the book, but once I broke past the 50th page or so, I couldn't put it down. In fact, I stayed up past 3 in the morning reading with my grandmother. Then had to get up at 6 for work. From the time they gang leaves Emond's Field, to the very end of the book, Robert Jordan presents his characters with strife, heartache, and happiness. The characters are people that grow as the novel progresses, and every one of them is entirely multi-dimensional.

The series only gets better from there. The late, great Robert Jordan has since passed away, but he left all of his dictated notes behind, and his wife enlisted the help of novelist Brandon Sanderson to complete the series. I can only hope that Mr. Sanderson and be true to Robert Jordan's legacy. May he rest in peace.
