Towers of Midnight by Robert JordanMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Brandon Sanderson and Robert Jordan have done it again.
Though this book steps away from the typical Jordan style mopre than The Gathering Storm did, I think the pacing and jumping around with plot lines and story arcs was a nessecity to bring the sory to a point that can be wrapped up and concluded in the next book.
The Wheel continues to turn in unexcpected ways, many theories and side plots cam to conclusions in this book, some were expected some were twists that were very unexpected, and some things make you question how it is going to end, after 13 books I thought I had an idea of how this world and story would conclude, now I wonder if I know anything.
Fans of The Wheel of Time will pick at the pacing and lack of depth for some of the story arcs, some will agonize over not haveing chapters and chapters to fill out some of the plots they have been waiting for years to have concluded, and others will be furious that so much is still left undone.
I praise Sanderson on trying to meet all expectations as much as he can and to also complete the story, many of us know that this could have continued for another 10 books instead of just the final three, though I would like to continue in this world for another decade, I now eagerly await with many others for the Final Battle.
