Rating: 5 out of 5

If you haven't read the previous five books, you can still read this one as a stand-alone, but I highly recommend starting from the beginning. You won't be disappointed. Once again, Robertson has crafted an excellent and exciting page-turner. You will find some familiar characters from previous novels, and new ones too. One of Robertson's strong points involves characterization. The "heroes" are not all good; they often fight flaws and question their thoughts and actions. Conversely, the same is true of the "villains," who are never 100% evil. Robertson writes those rare novels that engage the reader so much that when the novel is finished, you don't want to read something else right away -- you want to savor the flavor for a while longer. I am looking forward to the next two installments.
