El Tarmon Gai’don, la Última Batalla, se cierne amenazadora y la humanidad no está preparada.Rand al’Thor, el Dragón Renacido, se esfuerza por conseguir la unión de reinos y alianzas para el enfrentamiento decisivo. Mientras frena la invasión seanchan hacia el norte —con la esperanza de conseguir al menos una tregua— sus aliados observan con espanto la sombra que parece crecer en el corazón del propio Dragón Renacido.Egwene al’Vere, la Sede Amyrlin de las Aes Sedai rebeldes, está cautiva en la Torre Blanca y sujeta a los caprichos de la tiránica dirigente. Su lucha pondrá a prueba el temple de las Aes Sedai, y el conflicto que plantea su presencia decidirá el futuro de la Torre Blanca… y quizás el del propio mundo.
Buena narración con cada vez más acción, y giros de final de saga. Veremos cómo consiguen acabar la trama de Rand, que la veo poco explicada...
This is the first book where Brandon Sanderson took over from Robert Jordan after his death. I was originally expecting the style to be more polished and to the point, but Sanderson manages to copy Jordan's style flawlessly, including many distinguishing characteristics of the previous books. It reads like a creative journey: at first, Sanderson shyly imitates the style, then he seems to mock certain aspects of it, then he has made it his own.

One can't shake the feeling that this is already a very compressed form of what would have happened, with Sanderson doing his best to tie everything up for the final act while carefully transforming the characters into the necessary setup.
After a few books that had no apparent direction and the exciting but still aimless eleventh volume this is finally starting to work towards the grand finale, and I for one am certainly looking forward to the last two books!
