I have to say this was an exceedingly hard book for me to read. I was so depressed and despairing almost until the very end. I was losing hope fast and I really didn't see how many of the people I have grown to know and love were going to survive. For me the best parts of the book (not the hardest, saddest or worst) were:
Min taking Fortuona to task in front of all her army. Very well played.
Faile giving the horn to Olver and then running so that he might live.
Bela saving the day!
Androl and the masterful way he used Gateways, about damn time.
Pevara becoming human.
Egwene going out in a blaze of glory and crafting something new.
Birghitte being called back to and kicking Mellar's ass.
Suian saying to hell with Min's viewings and sacrificing herself to do the right thing.
Olver's ride on the to'raken.
Things that made me cry:
When the armies came to join Lan at Tarwin's Gap.
Faile giving the horn to Olver and then running so that he might live.
Bela dying. Bravest horse there ever was.
Birghitte being killed and the thought of Elayne losing the babies.
Egwene's death just rocked me. I wanted her to live so much.
Noal coming to save Olver, one of the most beautiful things to happen.
Things I wanted more of:
More of the fight between Egwene and M'Hael.
More of the fight between Moridin and Rand.
More of what happened with Padan Fain.
More of the story of Luc and Slayer, not just Slayer's actions.
More of an epilogue. Not when it came to Rand, but more of what did the nations do. Who succeeded who?
I'm sure there's more, overall I am glad it ended. Did it end the way I wanted it to, more or less yes. I will miss whole-heartedly Egwene Al'Vere, the most amazing Amrylin to ever live.
