Did we really need that much battle? Oy! More time with characters, less time with tactics, please.
Also... feeling really ambivalent about the ending. Both the ending of Rand's fight with the DO and Rand riding off in anonymity. We knew Rand wasn't going to kill the DO when he created his DO-free version of reality, roughly 200 pages ago. So that ending was a bit anti-climactic. The final scene was what we were building up to all along? Seemed rather... common. Dude saves the world and goes off to live a normal life. How creative.
Although, I did cry twice. Once for Rand and Tam when I thought Rand was dead. And once for this awesome series when the wind picked up at the end. I can count the books that have made me cry on one hand. It's in fine company in that regard.
