I started reading the Wheel of Time series when I was 13 and now it's over. I've had these books with me for the past 13 years! I'm really glad that the last book was mostly great. I don't know how it could have lived up to my expectations tbh, the bar had been set too high in my mind.

I mostly blame this on my weird book plot thing, where I think books that have serious themes should have serious/sad endings with like a glimmer of happiness/hope. Instead books tend to end like Harry Potter did, with lots of fluff and maybe a smidge of seriousness/sad parts. I also thought the Hunger Games had a too happy ending... So yeah. xD

It seems that most people on the internet liked the ending so *shrug*

I might change my mind on a reread though... After reading 908 pages in about 24 hours might warp ones perspective. ^_^;

"The wind blew southward, through knotted forests, over shimmering plains and toward lands unexplored. This wind, it was not the ending. There are no endings, and never will be endings, to the turning of the Wheel of Time.

But it was an ending.

He came like the wind, like the wind touched everything, and like the wind was gone.
