After the passing of Robert Jordan I thought that no one can weave the pattern the way he could. I was wrong. Brendon Sanderson did a stellar job in this book.

To my opinion, first 3 books of the series were the best ones, then the pen-master Jordan started jamming more and more characters and events into the books and watered down the essence. Well, this book brought me back to the feeling I had when reading the first three. Sanderson is true to Jordan's characters, adopted the language, the plot and ideas seamlessly. Dare I say, he's pulled the miracle and made the book 12 more readable than the previous few. The apprentice have surpassed the master.
