When it takes more time to read the book than actually occurs in the book then you are going nowhere. I don't care that Elayne got a sizable bit of the book, but why didn't her story go anywhere, she took a bath and talked to people in different rooms, that was it. Egwene getting captured was the most exciting thing in the book and he failed to set it up at all, even though he had 6 chapters of hers previous to do it in, it was a thrown in as a afterthought. Did Perrin do anything? Did Perrin even make sense? He can travel, why is he looking for a close place to buy grain, he can get his grain anywhere in the world just as quick. Why is he so worried about not having enough men to attack, there are vast armies just sitting around that he is less than a day from getting (by travelling) Heck the Aiel were actually supposed to be looking for the Shaido, he found them, go get a army, I think Rand will understand. If you are willing to sell your soul to rescue your wife then why are you not willing to go talk to your best friend in the world to ask for a couple of hours of his time, heck just to borrow one of the armies he has trying to do the very same thing you wnat to do. Mat??????? will he ever get back to the story? He can't travel, he is the one character that has to do things the old fashoned way and walk, yet he isn't going anywhere fast at all, at this rate the series will be over before he reaches Murandy. Rand? well it was nice of him to show up for the book, I mean since the whole story is about him and all it was good he could get a chapter or so in, and why was the much anticipated meeting between Rand and Logain glossed over, how about the much anticipated meeting of Cadsuane and Logain, or the much anticipated meeting of Nynaeve and Logain. Was Elayne's bath more imprtant to the story than something he has been building up for 5 books? Was it too much to ask to resolve anything at all in a 700 page book, even a little thing? Not only did he resolve absolutly nothing he added more to it.</p></blockquote><p></p>
