Recension
"Jordan has come to dominate the world Tolkien began to reveal." --New York Times
"The definitive American fantasy saga, a fantasy tale seldom equaled and still less often surpassed in English." --Chicago Sun-Times
"Hard to put down for even a moment. A fittingly epic conclusion to a fantasy series that many consider one of the best of all time." --San Francisco Book Review

Kundrecensioner
Kundrecensioner, inklusive stjärnrecensioner av produkter, hjälper kunder att lära sig mer om produkten och avgöra om det är rätt produkt för dem.
Vi använder inte ett enkelt medelvärde för att beräkna den totala stjärnrecensionen och den procentuella fördelningen per stjärna. Istället tar vårt system hänsyn till saker som till exempel hur nyligen en recension har gjorts och om recensenten köpte artikeln på Amazon. Det analyserar också recensioner för att verifiera deras trovärdighet.

1) supplementary material or appendices to outline what happened to characters post-series finale
2) a resolution to mysteries or puzzles not cleared up in the series finale: not sure who someone was in series, how someone did something impossible or whether a character even survived The Lat Battle? You still will be
3) a source of new information about the world and mythos of WOT like The World of Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time (published in 1997 mid-series)
With that out of the way, what it is: an A to Z of author's notes on characters, places and objects of note.
It's not polished text, it's a glossary to keep track of everything and character bios were updated as new events occurred. So it has all the information RJ jotted down but the entries feel like a working document rather than a "for publication" document. Despite the back cover saying it has a wealth of new information I didn't really find any: the series of maps outlining the progress of the Battle of The Field of Merrilor was the one thing I considered new material.
So what's it best used for? If you dip into it while (re-)reading you will almost undoubtedly hit spoilers, so, at your own risk. If you wait until the end it won't answer any unanswered questions you have. It is comprehensive, so if you want a list of Aes Seda and former Amyrlin Seats we never meet, a reminder of who a minor character is that you have forgotten or a detailed dictionary of the Old tongue or Lini's sayings then this is for you.
