  1. 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.
