Review
“Jordan has come to dominate the world Tolkien began to reveal.” ―New York Times
“The definitive American fantasy saga, a fantasy tale seldom equaled and still less often surpassed in English.” ―Chicago Sun-Times
“Hard to put down for even a moment. A fittingly epic conclusion to a fantasy series that many consider one of the best of all time.” ―San Francisco Book Review
