I've been literally TEN pages from the end of this paperback epic for a week now. Probably would have finished but I went back to the audiobook, where I'm back around page 600. The narrator really makes these pages just sing. It's a wonder.

Almost to the end and I went back to finish the audiobook ... have to say the audiobook narrator really elevates this book as a reading experience.

I sure love how really long books, say like 800 pages, build up a big momentum so you can't put them down for the last 300 pages. Well, most of them anyway. This one just had the whole bunch of raggedy losers trudging into the 25th new town of the book. SO ready for this to wrap up already.

Never trust a skinny innkeeper!

We have settled into a nice groove here checking in with the different characters.

" He huddled under his blanket, trying to find the calmness of the Void the way Tam had taught him, but sleep was a long time returning." I do like this bit (introduced in the opening pages) about the flame and the void.

NICE!! Jordan really knows how to deliver some fantastic monster attack scenes!
