Our view
The thirteenth Wheel of Time volume, credited to Robert Jordan and Brandon Sanderson, keeps up the momentum the saga regained in the previous book: it is eventful, and by turns moving and funny. At over 900 pages it is no light undertaking, and it makes sense only to those who have followed the series this far. For them it sets up the finale with real urgency.
