Towers of Midnight, Sanderson manipulating the cold dead hand of Robert Jordan

this is a certified spoiler free review. It's fun, and has no spoilers DO NOT READ COMMENTS (they probably have spoilers, but generally I find the comment crowd over at Tor.com VERY annoying).

Spoiler avoiders should note that the glossary contains at least one Significant Spoiler and you should leave it to last, the non-spoiler parts do not seem to have anything very new/interesting/useful so use the GS glossary if you have a burning need to look up some silly thing that you've fergotten.

Er my spoiler-free comments (I am less coherent)

OMG it is a heavy book (861 pages in the US edition).

YAY, cookies for fans! (Theories that came true; look it's not a f***ing spoiler, there are just SO MANY of them some of them had to come true! But some of these look very... cookie shaped OK)

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.

OMG WTF YOU DID NOT DO THAT YOU GIT.

Sad. Happy. Sad. Happy. NOOOOO it ended. Dammit.

Story to resume in a year and a bit we are told. And then END. OMG NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO I have been reading this for... years and years and years. I mean... M'lisinaaath Ethifel Aenea Thabana *Aes Sedai* people... that was BACK IN SCHOOL maybe 2000? earlier? A DECADE AGO I have been reading this thing FOR A DECADE (more) and I didn't even start when it started. Damn but it'll hurt when it ends. IT BETTER END GOOD SANDERSON!

Now I have The Way Of Kings and I shall read it and see if I like Sanderson writing on his own behalf too. Probably I'll buy Mistborn.

Oh, one last ToM point...

The narrative reminds the reader that it has been DUN DUN DUN two years since the first book. Got that people? TWO YEARS. Yeah. I don't think you'll find a longer two years without a whole lotta lookin' *grin*
