I agree with pretty much all of it, even the gateway bit. I was thinking why not drop dragon's eggs down on enemy armies from distant cities where they are being produced.
I also did a wtf moment when Rand was now in Moridin's body which no explanation of how that happened (was it there or did I miss it?). I would also have liked to have had some closure with Mat, Perrin and Nyneave. Morraine and Thom would have been good too.
The one that I really felt bad for was Tam. At least the women knew Rand was still alive. I was kind of hoping for an ending with Tam back on the farm at the Two Rivers and a stranger coming up the walk type of thing. Then they could have done the wind and the "an ending" ending (which I actually liked).
All in all I thought it was pretty good and will likely let the series sit on the shelf for a few years and then come back to it while I take on some other series.
