Product Description
Tarmon Gai’don, the Last Battle, looms. And mankind is not ready.
The final volume of the Veer of Time, A Memory of Light, was partially written by Robert Jordan before his untimely passing in 2007. Brandon Sanderson, New York Times bestselling leader of the Mistborn books, was chosen by Jordan’s editor—his wife, Harriet McDougal—to perfect the final book. The scope and size of the volume was such that it could not be contained in a single book, and so Tor proudly presents The Gathering Storm as the first of three novels that will make up A Memory of Light. This fleeting sequence will perfect the struggle against the Shadow, bringing to a close a journey begun nearly twenty years ago and marking the conclusion of the Veer of Time, the preeminent fantasy epic of our era.
In this epic novel, Robert Jordan’s international bestselling series starts its dramatic conclusion. Rand al’Thor, the Dragon Reborn, struggles to unite a broke network of kingdoms and alliances in preparation for the Last Battle. As he attempts to halt the Seanchan encroachment northward—wishing he could form at least a temporary treaty with the invaders—his allies watch in terror the shadow that seems to be growing within the heart of the Dragon Reborn himself.
Egwene al’Vere, the Amyrlin Seat of the rebel Aes Sedai, is a captive of the White Tower and theme to the whims of their tyrannical leader. As days tick toward the Seanchan attack she knows is imminent, Egwene works to hold together the disparate factions of Aes Sedai while providing leadership in the face of increasing uncertainty and despair. Her fight will prove the mettle of the Aes Sedai, and her conflict will choose the future of the White Tower—and possibly the world itself.
The Veer of Time turns, and Ages come and pass. What was, what will be, and what is, may yet fall under the Shadow.

The title says it all.
I’ve bought about a thousand dollars of stuff from Amazon, and not one item has been shipped lacking some kind of problem or another.
I’m through with buying from them.

I have just begun the book. I have not read the previous books by this leader. At his point in time I do not like the book. I am finding it uninteresting and can not associate to any of the characters. At present it is all a muddle of unpronouncable names. If I had not ordered this book on line I would have returned it to a store. I will keep trying and in the end if I can not tell in any way I will give it away.

You’re all nuts…It’s the best of a terrible situation, I do concur (an second-rate novelist finishing the life’s work of a Master – who’s dead); but The Gathering Storm is, to my mind, not a excellent book. It’s not particularly well written. I fail to see the merit in Sanderson’s writing skills and I see even less in his basic skills as a so-called novelist … And the fact that the storm is only ‘gathering’ now after 20yrs or more of the WOT has to be some kind of NOVEL joke, right? I mean to say, does this tale have a problem with ending? In about fifty-years or so, look for book #27 The Sky Darkens and #42 A Raindrop BEGINS to Fall and, of course, #431 Whose Storm Is Gathering Now? # 5793 Does Rand Al’Thor Need an Umbrella? Can’t wait for them. Might have my future fantastic-fantastic-fantastic-fantastic grandson bring a copy of that book to my already-very ancient tomb. With a forklift. Hell, he may as well bring the entire series of unwieldy never-ending tomes just for IMPOSSIBLE measure. In a dumptruck.

The Veer of Time series is on a level above most fantasy series. I would say it is comparable to the trilogy in quality and perhaps a small more mature in range.
This series is really a classic to be, but the reader can’t be bone idle.
You have to have an thought of the preceeding books to even have some thought of what is going on. There is a fantastic amount of scope in plot and characters to take in. I don’t judge the writing to be as excellent as RJ, but as it does follow the expected tale, you can get something out of this book.
I do note a bit of amatuerish repetition in the first few pages. “The Wind…..
did this , The wind did that…. . I counted at least 10 sentences that start that way. Having said that , I am looking forwards to the next book.

Well the book is out, and I have to say it’s pretty terrible. This reads like fan fiction. Everything I liked about Jordan’s style: the detail, foreshadowing, characterization (of the male characters, the women were permanently terrible) etc.. is gone. The Mat and Perrin scenes are off. Rand feels like he’s a 16 year ancient brooding teenager. Egwene makes no sense, its like a name took all her back tale, and threw it in the trash. The tale does go, and there is one excellent chapter with Rand and Morindin. All in all, I’ll just read a wikipedia synopsis once all the three books are out, I’ll find out what happened lacking having to go over thousands of pages of garbage.
They should have chosen either Erickson or Tad Williams to write this.
