I remember reading this when it first came out, after waiting for what seemed forever after Jordan died, not knowing what to expect. I remember loving it.

I honestly think that I could read this book again in the future, on its own, because I don't think I will ever be able to endure this whole series again. But yes, this book is good enough to revisit. It ties up and continues just the perfect mix of story arcs.
