[QUOTE="Aris Dragonborn, post: 2653479, member: 18434"] I just finished the book five minutes ago, and planned on starting a similar thread, but it seems you beat me to it. :p My thoughts: Yes, I was QUITE glad that Perrin finally rescued his wife. The only thing I didn't like about the whole situation was that I thought that Jordan dragged it out too long (but with all the other sub-plots he had to deal with, who could blame him?) Poor Mat. No matter how hard he tried, he still ended up married AND a noble to boot. Prince of the Ravens indeed. The Elayne chapters were probably my least favorite, but still well done. Rand/Lews Therin throwing those Deathgates and Fire Blossoms around was almost as cool as the Rolling Ring of Earth and Fire at Dumai's Wells. I was happy to see Lan return to the Borderlands to rouse support for Rand, and even more thrilled to see Nynaeve rousing support for Lan (The Golden Crane stands for Tarmon Gaidon!). So, Galad is Lord Captain of the Children now. Could be interesting. We'll see. I liked the marriage scene too, but even moreso the image I got of Loial and Elder Haman running through the halls, ears laid back and axes at the ready. I never thought of Loial speaking at the Great Stump to rouse the Ogier. Why are you complaining? We don't have to read about Faile being a prisoner anymore! :lol: But I know what you mean. I think that part of it might be that we all know what has to happen for Rand to stand a chance to reach the Last Battle, and we also know that Jordan is going to write the stories to that end. We just don't know [i]how[/i] he's going to do it (the particulars, I mean). As for the rest, the Forsaken are retarded, because they're [i]still[/i] underestimating their enemies. The flat refuse to entertain the notion that Rand is anywhere near as powerful as Lew Therin, or that he is Lew Therin reborn. They just can't fathom that any of his allies could defeat them, and that is part of what causes them to act the way they do. And I think the White Tower will be re-united by the half-way point in the last book. And I also think that there is going to be a [i]lot[/i] of Rand in the last book also. Overall, a great book (considering that I finished in um, two days). I'll probably end up going back through the series again, just to put it into proper perspective. Cheers! [/QUOTE]
