The ending of Crown of Midnight was AWSOME. Even better than Throne of Glass. If you enjoyed the first one, you'll love the second!

Good reading and good climbing!

Oh boy, are you starting Wheel of Time? Quite the undertaking! It's my husband's favorite series and I've been chugging along for about 4 years now. I'm currently in book 11 and hope to finish the series this year!

[Laura]
