Registration opens in 10 minutes! We hope to see you there!

My father handed me the first one when I was 16, the year it came out, so it was the book series I waited for every year. When he died without writing the last one, I was devastated. But I thought Brandon Sanderson did a great job with the last ones. They felt more like the first ones.
