I’m torn in how I think the ending will go. I agree that it doesn’t seem to be RJ’s style to start whacking people at the end, but it also would seem to be anti-climatic to have a final battle where only the bad guys die. I think some of the good guys have to die in one form or another, don’t they? I could see that while Rand was battling the Dark One, that characters would sacrifice themselves to protect Rand from sabotage. Sacrificing one’s self for the greater good fits into RJ’s writing style doesn’t it? Moraine did it. They could be resurrected later after the battle. Didn’t Rand bring Mat back to life after accidentally killing him once? Or after dying they could be sent to the world of dreams where they could be communicated with.
This was the first fantasy series I have ever read, before that I only read political thrillers and historical non-fiction. Robert Jordan is the first author that caused me to lose days off, where I would spend all day reading. Brandon Sanderson is the only other author that has caused me to lose days off. With that being said, I will be so disappointed if this series ends where the good guys win, the bad guys die, and Rand and his three wives live happily ever after…so disappointed…
