If you haven't already, you should read DomA's review of ToM (linked). I've not finished ToM (only just started really), but DomA is usually right, so if you disagree with any of the stuff in there, I'd like to know what.

Basically, the flaws that DomA points attention to (continuity, use of phrases that don't fit in WoTdom, etc.) are likely to only bother the avid reader to any great degree, but the disappointment is that, for some of us, the complexity of WoT, which was one of the things that was so appealing to me, seems to be it's undoing in these final stages of the story. No one but Jordan would have gotten everything right, but DomA seems correct in saying that the editors needed to give this one a closer look than they did.
