Story
Today, PayPal’s founders and earliest employees are considered the technology industry’s most powerful network. Since leaving PayPal, they have formed, funded, and advised the leading companies of our era, including Tesla, Facebook, YouTube, SpaceX, Yelp, Palantir, and LinkedIn, among many others. As a group, they have driven 21st-century innovation and entrepreneurship. Their names stir passions; they’re as controversial as they are admired.

Great narrative of the start of PayPal. It gives me a lot more respect for the likes of Musk, Theil, and Levchin.

Story
The Wheel of Time turns and Ages come and go, leaving memories that become legend. Legend fades to myth, and even myth is long forgotten when the Age that gave it birth returns again. In the Third Age, an Age of Prophecy, the World and Time themselves hang in the balance. What was, what will be, and what is, may yet fall under the Shadow.

The End of a Saga
Reviewed: 05-14-24
They say all good things must come to an end and so it is with the Wheel of Time. The narrators continued with their excellent rendition, although Kate Reading’s voicing of M. Cauthon seemed to take a different sound and I liked the prior versions. The book itself felt the least like it was written by Robert Jordan, which makes sense to me as I would imagine the further into the story after Jordan’s death the more Sanderson would have to use his creativity and as such you feel more of Sanderson’s grip upon the story rather than his fingerprints are felt upon the story. In my opinion this last novel reads more of a Sanderson novel, which is not bad per se, but left me feeling like I was missing an old friend when compared to the prior novels including books 12 and 13. However, it was enjoyable and maybe in a few years I will trek down the path of the Wheel of Time again.

Story
This is a story of the days of chivalry in England and of young Myles Falworth, son of a lord unjustly disgraced for treason, who was forced to make his fortune as best he might in the days when men seemed made of iron. How he entered the service of a powerful lord, rose to knighthood, defeated his father's old enemy in thrilling combat, and at last won the friendship of the king is told against a background of the dangerous times of the 14th century that makes them live again.

Great tale of chivalry and knighthood. Good coming of age story in which a young upstart lad turns into a noble hero.
