One of the things that has upset me about AMOL is how little time all the respective cultures were displayed. All the beautiful world-building by RJ was scarcely displayed in the last book.
The Tinkers were pretty much worthless chodes. I am truly embarrassed by this because I honestly thought they were going to play a big part at the Last Battle (I originally thought they would find a song that would reverse the turning of the Asha'man). But no, the Tinkers were pretty much worthless.
Other cultures that were also worthy of a 'worthless chode' award include:
1. The Seanchan-- they were barely even needed in the Last Battle.
2. The Aiel-- Why do we have a stupid 4-book build-up about the battle of Malden and then barely see the Aiel in action at the Last Battle? Was it really necessary to have to defeat the Shaido 3 times throughout the series and then glance over the Aiel almost completely in the last book?
3. the effing Seafolk-- What the hell was the point of this culture when they were barely even featured at all. Laudy frickin' dah, they stopped some wind.
4. the Asha'man. Sure these guys had some good screen time, but then Androl has to ruin all of Logain's glory.
5. Valan frickin' Luca-- How can this guy not be in the Last flaming battle?
6. The theories of Terez-- How come none of them happened? I seriously thought Gawyn was going to kill Rand and Demandred was Roedred.
