So I just finished reading it yesterday (hey, I had a lot of classwork) and I have to say that I am quite pleased at how well the new author did with the work. There are subtle differences in writing style, but I don't really mind them because he has done a great job at capturing the essence of the characters and the world itself. Of course, I suppose it's easier to do that when you have your entire plot written out in advance.

But yeah, without going into "spoiler" territory, a lot of big things get resolved in this book. Not everyone is in it (Elayne and Galad don't appear at all, nor does Lan). And the thing that makes me happiest is that by the end Rand finally leaves what I have come to term "douchbag mode", or at least it looks like he will. But yeah, for those other WoT fans, let me know what you think of this latest installment. For those that have never read the series, what are your thoughts on having another author finish a series like this?
