A Memory of Light

Ok. Not sure if is the cognitive dissonance speaking for reading 14 volumes averaging at 850 a piece. But I thought it was good. It was a satisfying ending. Which in the land of long-running fiction is hard to accomplish. Overall I'm happy. But I'm also happy to move on to something else ;).

There is a small annoyance throughout the series that grew to an escalation here as it was so often used: Balefire. The "evil" fire ("Not that, never that.") that burns away objects and people from the pattern. It always felt like this was very much to the author's convenience: you burn someone away. But not all of the things they did were reversed. But some were. That said this is the first novel where "balefire" has the ramifications you'd expect, things reversed that actually has a lot of effect. But then it immediately gets solved in the same paragraph. So yeah. That kind of bums me.
