What was, what will be, and what is,
May yet fall under the Shadow.
Let the Dragon ride again on the winds of time.

This prologue is available for free online! And no, it's not an illegal scan but a legal, copy right protected release from the publisher at the behest of the co-author Brandon Sanderson. This here is just a blatant display of greed from B&N to charge for something that's supposed to be free!

I just finished reading this wonderful chapter. Its is beautiful and terrible, how I figure the final book must be.If you area fan of the series and want a primer while waiting out the last 4 months do yourself a favor and spend the $2.99.I'll re-read this several times in the next few weeks trying to uncover the secrets.

I've been reading this series sense it was first released starting with the eye of the world in hardcover. I was one of those people who never got rid of a book once I got it. And my house was running completely out of wall space. But when the nook color came out, I jumped on the ebook band wagon whole heartedly. I even gave away all of the over 2500 paper backs and 500+ hardcover books taking up all of our wall space. And sense then I've already built up a collection of over 150 books on my B&N account. Many of which are rereads of series I had in the past. The wheel of time being one of the first that I got and read through again. And having to wait till april 9th, to get this final book really makes me angry. I've invested many hundreds of hours on this series. Every time a new release was scheduled I have always gotten out the previous books and reread them to be sure I don't forget something from earlier in the story. I've done the same this time, having started two months ago. I finished up the towers of midnight last eve and was looking forward to seeing how Rand covinces everyone else in the need to release the dark lord. Also am a tad itchy to see how Morrian returning will change things. But now I have to wait there months to find out. Not to mention the time I wasted rereading this again that I could of used to read Tad Williams shadowmarch serires and Martens a game of thrones series.

If you are wavering over whether to spend the money now or just wait until January and spend it on the whole thing, please take my advice and BUY THIS PROLOGUE! This is the first one I've actually purchased and I can tell you it was worth every penny! Beautifully written, thoroughly engaging, and guaranteed to put you right where the action is. It's a great place to be with the Last Battle looming over Dragonmount...

I absolutly think that this book will inspire people as it inspired me to not let evil win you over and have hope for a new tomorrow. Mat gradually learns how to be responsible and I think learns to love. Lan oh Lan if only I was 20 years older. Lan finds that sacrfice doesnt always work in battle. Rand has to learn to let go but can he? Perrin you sweet thing I findly learned that you are really a wolf. Guys whatever you thought of Perrin is all think agian he is sweet and vicious and totaly in love with Falie. No doubt about it. Min is amazing in this book, so is all the girls Rand love. I think the battle stratagy was very smart and the plots woow! I have to say Robert and the other guy no how to write a book. This series was special and I cant compare any other books with it. Can you? The only thing I had a problem with this book is the whole 3 girls sharing a man in every way! Its creepy and disfunctional! What message are you tring to send to all the guys Robert Jordan! Other then that I give it a five stars easy. <3

I found myself sucked into The Wheel of Time about 17 years ago when a fellow soldier handed it to me in the barracks while saying, "Hey. You like to read don't you?" After all these years of waiting year after year for the next installment, my fears about the Grand Finale have at last been alleviated despite my worries about the series and the family of Robert Jordan. The only drawback to this is that I have now been drawn into yet another author to chase after as I anxiously await everything published by Brandon Sanderson just as I have awaited each and every Wheel of Time installment.

Finally the ending, it was very good, couldn't put the book down. Thought Sanderson did a good job at wrapping up the series.

This prologue is very different from the other Wheel of Time books. Given that it is the last one, the pace is quite fast all things considered. I enjoyed it however and think it will fit the rest of the book just fine once I read it.
