Hi Jon



It's funny because Semirhage was one of my favourite Forsaken, I found her death to be appropriate. The scene is very powerful - she drives Rand almost mad with the male a'dam, and she uses her sadism at its maximum, before the True Power and balefire are wielded. It's all very impressive.



Daigian was very special to me No really, I thought she was an interesting Aes Sedai. I was sad she died.



I've always felt this was inevitable, with thirteen antagonists and several reincarnations. At some stage they're going to be disposed of quickly.



I feel that this has been dragged out for way too long, but the same can be said of most things in this series.



Agreed! Great scenes.



After rereading the series, I've discovered what an underhand person Faile is. Not likable at all really. But married to a moron, so it's all good.



I liked the whole book - I thought it was excellent. I even liked Gawyn, and usually I hate him.

The character I disliked the most was Rand. His dark side was irritating beyond belief. I was praying for a Forsaken to shield him and beat him up because his cold arrogance, and silent stares at his 'allies' were getting to be too much. I think he's done a good about turn, but I still think he's been a huge whiney little boy who feels sorry for himself for no good reason.
