[QUOTE="Bran Blackbyrd, post: 2655677, member: 1710"] [b]-Perrin FINALLY rescuing Faile[/b] It's about time too. [b]-Most of the Mat chapters, especially Tuon completing the marriage ceremony[/b] Absolutely. Mat chapters almost never disappoint. [b]-Elayne FINALLY securing her throne.[/b] About time on that one too. What annoys me about this (and this applies to a lot of the plot threads in the series) is the lack of communication. Elayne is still miffed about Rand saying he'd "give" her the throne. If any of these characters would spend five minutes talking to each other, they'd have the world in the palm of their hand.
