Though I didn't like Egwene's character at times throughout the series, I did develop serious respect for her in the final 3 books. I knew she was going to go out in a blaze of glory because I always felt like she was the Queen of Manetheren reborn (mostly due to her being born in the area, strong channeler, the old tongue seemingly familiar, even yells some of it in tEotW, etc). Looking back at how the series described her ending - grief of the dire circumstances, the King falling and anger at the bad guys - she calls down massive amounts of power and leaves everything in a smoldering ruin. Egwene, feeling similarly, throws even more of the power around at times - using flaming retribution - and leaves the area around her without enemies because they're all frozen in crystal.
I'm certainly not saying "ooo i has the evidence that she IS for certain without a doubt the queen of manetheren reborn!" but it has always been a thought of mine.
