I have read all of The Wheel of Time series by Robert Jordan, that I am assuming this book is based on, and frankly, I am frustrated. What started out to be a great series in the first about 5 books has turned into a long complicated thing that has way too much going on. The last book had nothing at all about Rand, the main charcter, in it and shows absolutely no end to the story. It should definitely ended at 7 like the original plan. I would recommend the first five books cause the idea is great, but don't expect to hear how it all plays out. To Robert Jordan, get back to the basics and tell us how the world ends already!
