I loved this book - especially the ending.  It tied up all the major plot points, but left just enough to readers' imaginations.  After finishing, I had not really a sense of awe or amazement, but more of a quiet satisfaction - this was how the epic series should end.  My favorite point in the whole book was probably when Lan killed Demandred.  Right before he drove his sword through the throat, I thought back to Talmanes killing his second Fade - "You just have to be dead first."  Then I realized that Lan was going to sacrificed himself.  I'll admit to crying then.
