I must say I am very annoyed with the seanchan/aes sedai storyline. It's nothing if not pedantic and the seanchan are a dog with a bone about attacking the white tower and consolidating their power while the rest of the world marches for Tarmon Gaidon. I will be beyond pissed if the Last Battle ends with the Seanchan taking over all of randland and nothing happening to destabilize their belief that marathdamane must be collared while women who can learn to channel, their own empress included, walk away scott free. This storyline should've been concluded a few books ago....
