I finished the book yesterday and I am not sure how I felt. It was not what I pictured it. It was maybe too actionpacked and didn't feel like a "Wheel of time" book.
However it was exciting and thrilling, it was disturbing and romantic, it was hilarious and so sad, it really had everything you want from a book.
I only had trouble with one person dying. Siuan.... That made me so sad. I wanted to see a reunion between her and Moiraine. And I wanted more of Moiraine!
I also felt that there were too little of Rand in this book.
Egwene dying did not do anything to me. Maybe because there were so many deaths that after the first I just didn't care? At least Egwenes death had a purpose. But how did she know to break the seals when there was a white light?
My fovourite interactions in this book was between Pevera and Androl. They were so cute together. And just the fact that a Red sister bond an Ashaman (and vice versa) shows how much this world have changed over the years. But what was the blackness he saw? Whas it just madness from before the cleansing or something else?
It was also hertbreaking the scene with Logain when the mother told him she would send her son to be tested. I want a bright future for the Ashaman so I am happy.
I was pleased that Rand survived and just rode away (but it should have been on Bela) to a quiet life. He deserved it! But his girls should at least pretend to be sad. I did not understand how he could lit his pipe...
I wished to hear more about what happened after the battle! I read that Robert Jordan left tons of materials about what happened to everyone but we didn't even get a glimse of the future! That was maybe why I was a bit dissapointed.
I don't know what to do now that it is all over. I have a void in me that I need to fill with something, but I do not know with what... But the wheel turns and I can always start all over again. Thank you for a great ride!
