Michael asked this question about A Memory of Light (The Wheel of Time, #14):

Is this the best fantasy book ever written? With all the hype I've seen and the leading up the the enormous final battle it should be.

I did not like the ending though... so I can't count this as the best fantasy book ever written. In regards to WOT, i still love the first one better than them all. Fantasy has blossomed so much as a fiction genre, you really have to define some elements. Tolkien, in my view, is the master worldbuilder of fantasy.. he immerses you in another world so thoroughly that i think he still has no equal in that regard (he even invented his own languages). I think Sanderson is a master at organic magic systems that fit the context of each fantasy world. Warbreaker's color system is so great and unique as is allomancy and stormlight. I like WOT for the characters... i don't think any author has got us to love characters like Jordan. Rand, Egwene, Elayne, Perrin, Matt... they all feel part of my family. (less)
