A review by comfortfromwithin
Towers of Midnight: Book Thirteen of the Wheel of Time by Brandon Sanderson, Robert Jordan
5.0
4.5 stars, (9/10). An excellent novel to prepare readers for an epic finale. While I don’t think it was as tightly written overall, especially towards the beginning, there were so many LARGE moments throughout the novel itself. It’s great seeing so many ends being tied up in the wake of the finale. There are some critiques however.
Some resolutions, while they made sense, seemed a little too rushed in the mantra of “tying things up”. I understand it’s probably a little inevitable with a series this large, but it was only ever really apparent to me in this novel.
And yes, the further I get on with the series the more I understand the Mat love this fandom has. One of the few characters, probably ever, that has made me laugh “so bloody much” throughout a series.
Gosh, Perrin, Mat, and Aviendha really shined in this. So happy they got some of the coolest chapters, they all deserve it.
There’s not much more commentary I can give here. I’m 14 books in to a 15 book series, so obviously I have to be enjoying it a lot. I love it… and I guess I’m more excited for what the ending is going to offer more than anything!
Light! I’m anxious.
