This book easily lived up to 15 years worth of waiting.  That’s a pretty huge accomplishment as far as I’m concerned.  Personally, I would have liked Elyas to have more of an impact as well as Perrin having more of a role in the last battle, but that’s only cause I’m a huge fan of these two.  My only real regret is that more wasn’t done with Padan Fain.  I’m not sure what the original plan was with him, but I feel like it didn’t get executed. 

That being said, I really liked how in the end it was just another age in the turning of the wheel.  I also really appreciated that nothing of the future was jammed in at the end.  Pretty much was left up to us to guess at.

I do hope some details get filled in with the encyclopedia, but all things considered, it was a fantastic end.
