I would say don’t even THINK about cutting Min. That would be a disaster. Also I’ve heard talk of Rand not having his 3 loves...which would be another big mistake.

Huge.  

I believe that main characters should be kept. Period.  If you aren’t providing the major story arcs then consider another story.  
Do fans really desire an “Earl’s Disney Land”?  
Now, the extras: Cityfolk (all of ‘em), townsfolk (all of ‘em), Seafolk, Sharans, the armies, the Aiel, etc, etc...(and costumes/props)..now there’s where you spend and need to cut. 
 

Okay it’s finally come to me.

Thank you both!

Now if I could just pin down what caused the ripples in existence that Perrin and Faile experienced...

It is strange that a world-effecting event like the last seal breaking would only be depicted/experienced by two characters.

And Caemlyn looks like a heart

Far Madding, a fist... 

I am pleased to introduce myself as Asha’man Vincent Vinchova.  
As I was re-reading (as we do.) - I came across one of Mr. Jordan’s word/concept choices that I had breezed by, given my own interpretation/flavor to.  But, I’ve become more used to pinning down this habit of mine.  I think I hit gold. 
Winter’s Heart, Chap.23

Point of view: Shalon 

Context: She is flummoxed, and reduced to observing the Aes Sedai to find any social faults or information they could impart.

Text: “Perhaps there was nothing in it that would help her, but if she had to pick oakum, the only way was to find a thread and pull.”

Observation:  While I had attached an interpretation of “oakum” and “pulling oakum” to mean, making the best of ‘woolgathering’... I found a deeper respect for Mr. Jordan’s knowledge and artistry by surrendering to a dictionary to hold me to his intent rather than my interpretation.

Well.  A specific, beautifully applied, cultural reference that I am looking at as a testament to his life, learning, and craft.  
Deepest gratitude to him and the work he shared.  
 

I had to become a member to share this small nugget.  I hope we all have a great future ahead with the attention being shown to his tales.  Onward and Upward!
