Yes, she still lets herself be ruled by her desire to control everything

She really needs a good helping of humble pie. In fact, I really hope Cadsuane meets her in the next book. Cadsuane actually seems like the most appropriate person, because she's the one person Egwene might actually respect a little.
As it stands, Egwene isn't exactly doing anything overtly wrong (imo) but she is heading in the direction that Rand was pre-TGS. She needs to realize that as Amyrlin, she is the servant of all. That doesn't mean that she gets to decide what's best for everyone. Right now she's walking a very fine line between working with people and manipulating them.
BTW, have we fulfilled the prophecy where Rand stands before the Amyrlin and knows her anger, or will that happen at Merrilor?

Agreed. The series is formulaic and predictable, and even I expected a few more twists.

It's a well told story with fun characters overall, but it's definitely not "War & Peace"
