I thought it was interesting seeing potential interactions between male and female channelers in the next Age.
I liked that they were both kind of light-hearted. I liked that there was some budding romance that found a middle ground between "sheltered sheep-herder" and "Maiden of the Spear"
I also liked all the Gateway stuff with Androl. I'm actually a bit curious about that- Androl feels very much like a Brandon Sanderson character. He has a focused ability, and he does as much as he can with it. Honestly, if you put Androl in the Mistborn universe, he would fit right in.
(Although it was a BIT of a copout to say "Oh, I guess part of my Talent is that I can totally ignore the rules about 'knowing' a place"... and was there any justification as to how he happened to know where the lava in Dragonmount was?)
Anyway. I found their plotline a nice change of pace.

So, am I the only one who kind of liked the whole Androl/Pevara plot?

It felt like a plot tacked on as a vanity by Sanderson

I kind of always thought RJ intended the minor characters to be bland

I feel the same about Mat's luck powers. You talk about plot armor, his is a plot bulldozer.

I liked it. Most of the whining about is hilarious.

I hated it because it reeked of sanderson pandering to "internet humour" for lack of a better term.

It wasn't bad. However, it took away time from characters that readers were more invested in. *NM*

It was a fairly bad execution of some good ideas

That one line characterizes the last two books of WoT generally. *NM*

He probably didn't have enough time to learn the characters completely

Pretty much. But I think significant blame should be laid at Jordan's feet for his abysmal pacing.

Certainly RJ deserves some of the blame. But pacing issues were not the only issue with AMOL

I liked it more than reading about Perrin. And seeing Mat butchered even further. *NM*
