My favorite part of the guide has always been it's chapters on the Forsaken. It paints a picture of a paradise world, filled with brilliant minds, and the Forsaken are the most brilliant and most successful people in that world. True paragons representing the height of the Age of Legends, with only Lews Therin himself rising higher. And yet they were people, with the accompanying flaws, histories, and motivations. If only those qualities could show up in the series itself.
