I liked a few scenes... The ultimate was Egwene facing Taim in a number of skirmishes and finally defeating him using Vora's wand, only to die herself. I also liked the Androl/Pevara plot, Perrin/Graendal and Aviendha/Graendal plots. Demandred was entertaining.

I found Elayne unfulfilling as usual. Mat was by far the worst to read about... He was very poorly written. Tuon too. Nynaeve was poorly used in this book, and I expected more character interaction from Moiraine.

2. Plot wrap up

Well I'm glad we saw how the sealing occurred. Yes, he used all three powers as I predicted as well as predicted that Callandor is a TP sa'angreal (I even said he'd use Moridin for the TP) so all the people who mocked me can hang their heads in shame.

Plot progression has always been poor in the series. I was hoping for a united unisex Aes Sedai but it seems like its decades off. There were dozens of other unfulfilled plots and that's a big disappointment. Morgase... Elaida... Shaido...?

3. Character death

Best: Egwene ... She remains one of the greatest characters in the series.

Worst: Siuan... Very random. I thought the overall body count was much too low. I'd have liked at least half of the main characters to die. Funny, some of the small characters deaths affected me... Kiruna, Sarene being compelled, Romanda....

4. New tidbit of knowledge (OP or otherwise)

Best: Seeds for angreal. Nice debating potential there.
Worst: sakarnen... Please...
