I must first say, if you haven’t experienced the Wheel of Time through audio book, I highly recommend it. Michael Kramer and Kate Reading do an amazing job with the character voices.
I understand why the vast majority of people are picking the Cleansing. It is a very significant event and is an exciting scene to read. However, it is not my favorite scene because I had already believed Rand would cleanse Saidin and was just waiting for it to happen.
I usually can pick my favorite scene in a book by the emotional charge that I feel while reading/listening to it. To be honest, the first time I read through Winter’s Heart there wasn’t a moment in the book that I got that emotional charge (such as the one I had during the battle of Dumai’s Wells). Consequently I didn’t have a scene that stood above the rest. However, during my re-listening prior to the towers of midnight I came to like the Far Madding setting more and more. Specifically my favorite scene of the book is where Rand is imprisoned and later released in Far Madding. To me it foreshadowed how the help of the female Aes Sedai will be instrumental if they are to be victorious in Tarmon Gai’don. It is in this scene that Rand is at his most vulnerable fighting off the agony of being in another “box” and during one of his greatest times of need, it is a female Aes Sedai who saves him.
