What is it you like about it? Obviously my pre-conceptions of the book first time around haven't helped. The times my heart sank as I turned the page and saw long paragraphs and little or no dialogue.
As I've said before, a few parts could have been incorporated in to KOD, and COT would not have been required, and RJ could then have got closer to finishing the book himself. Though, I think by this point the story had gotten away from him, and Harriet and TOR appeared to be indulging his unique descriptive style and not looking at as objectively as they should.
There were and are too many characters who are given too much screen time and then disappear, either altogether or for long periods. Where is Loial? An integral character for much of the earlier books he has been all but forgotten. Masema and Aram were built up and then - almost as though he didn't know what to do with them - they were killed off. And did we really need as many POV's from Morgase as she got?
I can't recall exactly what I liked or didn't like about it. I plan on re-reading them all eventually though. They are the first books that I will be putting on my Kindle when I get it so I'll get to them eventually.

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