Representaion In Pursuance Of Books Towers of Midnight (The Wheel of Time #13)
The end draws near.... The Last Battle has started. The seals on the Dark One’s prison are crumbling. The Pattern itself is unraveling, and the armies of the Shadow have begun to boil out of the Blight. The sun has begun to set upon the Third Age. Perrin Aybara is now hunted by specters from his past: Whitecloaks, a slayer of wolves, and the responsibilities of leadership. All the while, an unseen foe is slowly pulling a noose tight around his neck. To prevail, he must seek answers in Tel’aran’rhiod and find a way--at long last--to master the wolf within him or lose himself to it forever Meanwhile, Matrim Cauthon prepares for the most difficult challenge of his life. The creatures beyond the stone gateways--the Aelfinn and the Eelfinn--have confused him, taunted him, and left him hanged, his memory stuffed with bits and pieces of other men’s lives. He had hoped that his last confrontation with them would be the end of it, but the Wheel weaves as the Wheel wills. The time is coming when he will again have to dance with the Snakes and the Foxes, playing a game that cannot be won. The Tower of Ghenjei awaits, and its secrets will reveal the fate of a friend long lost. This penultimate novel of Robert Jordan’s #1 New York Times bestselling series--the second of three based on materials he left behind when he died in 2007--brings dramatic and compelling developments to many threads in the Pattern. The end draws near. Dovie’andi se tovya sagain. It’s time to toss the dice.

Narrative structure is taught in middle school and refreshed in high school. So surely it would safe to assume that it's standard stuff.Exposition, rising action, climax, falling action.I'm sure someone's about to correct me.Before you do, I'll note that when I was a kid, there were five parts of plot. Most textbooks that I come across now list four. And different names and charts are used in different textbooks.What controls all of this? Tension. Excitement. Suspense? How about conflict?It's said that Robert Jordan had planned to finish the series with A Memory of Light as the 12th and final book, and Mr. Sanderson split the book in three. I can't see how Mr. Jordan could afford to tie all the strings together in just one book, keeping in mind the events that take place in the Gathering Storm and the Towers of Midnight. (There are spoilers ahead.)As glad as I am with the pace the story has picked up, I don't know if it's ironical to say, the book seemed rushed at some places.
Tor is apparently refusing to issue this as an ebook. Guess I'll have to see. I like the series, but I won't read large paper novels anymore. I simply don't have the space or the wrist strength for it.11/20 - Found the hardback in a used book store. Bought it, will sell it again when I'm done, then buy the ebook in a couple years (maybe). Tor will NOT have my money twice (and maybe not at all), and I don't want to support the hardback format. It's so difficult to hold and transport, so it sits
So I am drawing ever nearer to the final book of Wheel of Time, which is both baffling and exciting to me. I have been reading these books for such a long time and I have to say that the Sanderson book have certainly made the series sit up and get going again rather than meander around as the Jordan ones did. I love both Jordan and Sanderson as writers, and I am so happy that Sanderson was the one chosen to finish this off because he's incredible when it comes to bringing all of the plotlines
I dreamt I got a serpent ring. Ya think I'm reading this incessantly? You'd be right!Finished - Seattle had a severe cold front with snow so I had the opportunity to just settle in with this book, which was perfect. Look, admittedly I'm a fangirl of this series, yet how many years has it been since the first? A long long time. As everyone knows the last several books were all over the place, too many characters - instead of focusing on what we had, Jordan just added yet more characters until
The Ta'veren TavernA one-act play by Zach(The Ta'veren Tavern, a passably nice watering hole with very few patrons. The architecture of the room, indeed of reality itself, seems to bend and warp to center on the three young men, RAND, MAT, and PERRIN, sitting at the bar.)RANDWell, you two have to at least admit that Towers of Midnight is the most action-packed book in the whole series.MATNo question there.PERRINI won't argue the point. You're talking to the guy who spent four consecutive books
This 14th WoT book was another fun one. It is so easy to get caught up in the happenings of this familiar world and its massive cast of characters really do feel like old friends by this stage! ToM matched Sanderson's first WoT effort, TGS, in terms of quality. He might do a few things differently from Jordan but the one thing he does deliver is a well paced story that has very few dull spots. The story itself was engaging and interesting as all our favourite characters got themselves and their
