That is, I said after the last book that at Merrilor she would either:

1) Wake up and smell the reality Rand, not she, was the prophesied Dragon Reborn to win Tarmon Gaidon and defeat the DO or

2) Come to an untimely and messy but well deserved end.

She ultimately did both, accepting her supporting role, however important, WAS a supporting role, then got sacrificed to underscore just how secondary she was. She did NOT screw everything up or oblige the Pattern to remove her for forbidding the Dragon break the Seals and fulfill prophecy, but wound up dead anyway—and life went on (for most others.) Martyrdom and discovering an unprecedented counter to the irresistible force in the final pages of the series is so cheesy it was guaranteed to outrage Egwene haters and narrative writing lovers alike, but dead is dead, and she had already (rightly) acquiesced to the Dragon Reborns plan.

So yeah, go, me. Almost makes up for how badly wrong I was in predicting a epic inevitable four-sided channeler war over whether a unified bilateral "Gray Tower" would serve the Shadow or the Light. I still consider that a missed opportunity for drama, as Aes Sedai Bound by Asha'man found the Third Oath far less restrictive each time an Asha'mans preemptive attack provoked life-threatening retaliation. Oh, well.
