I wasn't a fan of Egwene before the series but has been stated this is her moment of awesome. I'll concur with the prior statements on Rand ~ his scenes were terrible in a tragic sorta way. They weren't off or wrong or anything just something that you don't want to see the hero endure.I wondered about the strange town scene with Mat but concluded that it had to be a Jordan thing since it seemed so out of place that if he didn't include it the scene would never have passed the stress test.This book -- for the first time in a long spell -- demanded to be read in one sitting. It had a pace and sense of urgency. You can literally feel the ending rushing head long at the major players. There are also a few moments where you choke a little and reach for a drink lest you find yourself in the uncomfortable position of explaining to your wife what the waterworks mean.There are really two parallel stories running through the book that both.... hold on to your seats.... conclude! Yes, you heard it here. The stories actually wrap up along with two or three other minor subplot. Sandarson said - We are fulfilling prophecy at a breakneck speed and by goodness he wasn't kidding. None of the minor plot resolutions felt rushed (well maybe one did but I was glad to see that particular one dead and buried).Very good read. I've already dived back in to re-read specific chapters.</blockquote>
