So Mat's married now. And Elayne is Queen. Plus she's captured Black Ajah. She puts too much faith in Min's viewing though.

I'm probably forgetting other stuff, but those were the big points.

A few other things, what's up with Taim saying Let loose the Lord's of Chaos? He seemed to agree to the bonding of Ashaman way too easily.

Also, I forget what chapter this was, but I had to go look it up. Their was a section told from Elaida's POV that just cuts off abruptly. I was hoping we'd get some clarification, but apparently not in this book.

I finished a few days ago but haven't been able to get on to a PC until now. I was going to go through each section but think I will just do some final impressions instead.

Egwene impressed me this book with how she handled herself after stupidly getting captured. It looks like she is gaining a strong following and Elaida's continued failings will lead to Egwene reuniting the Aes Sedai until her rule.

Elayne was kind of uninteresting until she foolishly got taken captive. I liked how Birgetta took control and made the different factions work together to take her and Camlyn back.

Mat and Tuon were humorous and a good counterpoint to Perrin and Faile. Although the latter don't bother me as much as they seem to everyone else. Mat and Perrin both took charge and had great victories in this one. Look forward to seeing them lead more battles. Wonder how Tuon will bring the Seanchan together now that she is empress.

Taim is bad news. Really liking Logain more and more though.

I'm amazed at how much still has to come together for the last battle and am super excited to get into the Sanderson books.

Good point about Egwene. I think in my first read this is where she really gelled for me, although it started a bit sooner as she slowly took control of the Rebel sisters.

Yeah she definitely learned a lot about playing different factions against each other in the last book but had Siuan and a few others to help her. In this book she was able to put that experience to great effect all by herself. Think she showed the most growth.

Yeah. Just wait until the next book. :)

The death guards finally manage to find Tuon, and she finally accepts Mat as her husband. This makes Mat a kind of prince I think.

Suroth gets taken out I think by the death guards.

Overall I enjoyed reading Rand's & Egwene's pov in this book.

Perrin & Faile bored me to death.

Mat's definitely Prince. Title and everything. I don't recall if the title comes up in this book or the next one though.

Think the title comes up in the next.

I may have the incorrect chapter selection, but Nynaeve's effort in raising soldiers for Lan was amazing. I was reading it on a train and openly wept at the end of that chapter. Definitely my favorite part of this series. Such emotion written by RJ I honestly forgot I was reading fiction and wanted to ride to Tarwin's Gap myself.

Nyneave definitely kicks a lot of ass in the last few books. The way she rallies soldiers for Lan is awesome.

Probably my favorite part if the series. I was tearing up too. It's been too long for me to accurately judged where you are but Lan's ride to Tarwin's gap had me so emotional. Honorable characters are always my favorite.
