Finished today as well. Very bittersweet, as I have also been reading them for years (started when I saw newly released The Dragon Reborn on a shelf and thought 'Woah! A glowing, floating sword!'), but I do feel Sanderson did a good job. I know I'm weird, but I personally thought Rand dying was the obvious choice. I do love how the entire, grand story loops back on itself, kind of reminds me of the Dark Tower series in that respect.

I think Sanderson did an amazing job for stepping in to the unbelievably daunting role he took on. Would it have been better if Jordan finished it?

Maybe. Okay, probably.

But what's the point of wondering?

Let's enjoy the amazing gift we have been given in this series.
