I got The Gathering Storm as a Christmas present at the end of last year, and I have to say that it was one of my favorite books that I have read in the last couple of years. Brandon Sanderson did a great job in picking up where Robert Jordan left off, and I believe that Jordan's widow picked the right author to conclude The Wheel of Time. Despite being nearly 800 pages long, I was able to finish it in three days. It reads fairly quickly, the reader gets reacquainted with the numerous characters pretty effectively, and a couple of important issues are resolved well by the end of the book. I do not want to get into specifics, but I give this book the walkertexasdruid seal of approval. I am really looking forward to the final two volumes in this memorable series.

I should also point out that Sanderson is a great writer in his own right. His Mistborn series is a must read for epic fantasy fans, at least in my own opinion.
