Sanderson said at the signing I was at that the epilogue is almost 100% Jordan's writing, with the only changes being small insignificant ones.

Sanderson said at the signing I was at that Androl was the closest thing to "his" character — a character that hardly had any notes that he could give his own arc to.

To be fair, that would have just been a repeat of "use one evil to kill another evil" that was used when they healed the Taint. (haha i said "taint") But he deserved way more than a few pages worth of action. It would have at least been better if they had hinted that despite dying, his evil spirit lives on near Shayol…

The "musical theme" (titled "Lysandre's Theme") gets old by the second song when you realize he's just going to shoehorn it into almost every song regardless of whether or not it makes any sense to put there…except on "Lysandre", where it is absent for some reason. It's really hamfisted and irritating. Dude should at…

If you're a child of the 80s, you might remember him as one of the kids in The Night They Saved Christmas!
