Monday Contest: The Wheel of Time’s grand finale

The day that fans have been eagerly anticipating for more than 20 years arrives tomorrow with with the publication of A Memory of Light—the final entry in Robert Jordan’s Wheel of Time series!

How will the Last Battle play out? Will Brandon Sanderson (who took over the series after Robert Jordan’s death) live up to your expectations? Find out in A Memory of Light, which is surely to become a classic in the canon of SF&F fiction.

In our excitement for this novel, we interviewed Harriet McDougal, Jordan’s widow and editor, about what it was like to work with Sanderson—and how it feels for the series to finally be over. Read her responses on BookPage.com.

And enter here to take home one of two copies of A Memory of Light!

TO ENTER: In the comments, tell us the name of your favorite series of all time.

CONTEST DETAILS: Two winners will be chosen by random.org from among entries received by 5 pm CST on Friday, January 11. The winners will each receive a copy of A Memory of Light. Prizes must be shipped to a North American address, and Rhode Island residents are not eligible. (Full contest rules here.) Good luck!

ETA: Congratulations to our winners, Sheila and Allison!

Thanks to all who entered! Contest is now closed.
