Would have to agree about TDR. I re-read that again recently and found it to be very dull. A hundred pages in and Rand has only just left is hideaway in the mountains. That was certainly a foreshadowing of things to come - books 8 - 10, I'm looking at you here!
On an unrelated topic. Egwene has dreams about Mat (losing an eye), Perrin with his hammer and ones concerning Rand which have come true. But she also dreams about long lines of AS being leashed by the Seanchan - the only one not to come true so far.
I know there has been much debate about this, but is is possible that to get around the three oaths, the Senchan come to an arrangement with the AS to use them as Damane for the last battle. Thereby the AS can be used as an offensive force, rather than a somewhat defensive one that can only channel when their lives are in danger? Or, possibly, are then AS that Egwene dreams about captured Black ajah who are then used against the dark one in the LB. Or, symbolically, are the leashed AS meant to represent the constraints that the three oaths place on AS and that Egwene has to no longer make AS swear the three oaths - therefore breaking them from their constraints/a'dam?
It just struck me that this is the only dream not to have come true so far, and it must have some pay off in the final book, otherwise why include it.

It's not actually that bad if you're not an angry, resentful, bitter person.
