Just finished it last night, great book, great series.. going to write this response before I read this thread so I have no outside influences on my opinion. I might be wrong on some of these things too so clairfication would be good.

In comparison to other series I have read it isn`t the best or most enjoyable, but it is still a great series in its own way. There are definitely a lot of 'conveinent' (lazy writing) parts that had me going wtf? Really? But if you take that for what it is, it was still fun to read.

The ending confused me, so they put Rand in Moridin's body.. but don't a lot of people know what the Forsaken looks like? Especially since he was laying in the tent next to Rand for a long time? He will end up with an Aiel spear in his gut after they hunt him down for being reported missing. But Rand doesn't wield the power anymore, he just creates stuff ? Is he the creator? Smokes this impossible pipe, what does that mean? And why the hell did he leave his poor Dad to think he was dead. There is no more danger for his Dad now, no one will come after him. If there was one time in this whole series where it was SAFE for people to believe the Dragon Reborn was alive, isn't this it?

I loved Mat's part but I found his whole battle plan stuff confusing, it seemed like he had some great master plan that fell apart in the end or wasn't enough. I guess it was good enough given the odds they faced? I wanted the book to end with Mat struggle humping Tuon that stuck up b word. Man does she piss me off.

Perrin got the shaft, I thought he had a lot to do in this book but it seemed like the same old crap, fight Luc, lose, fight Luc, lose... I would have much rather wished for a drawn out final show down than I AM MAD NOW I CAN KILL!

And the parts with Demandred where he just duels person after person, lol.. that almost had me laughing out loud. Horrible.

I liked how they went from person to person on the battle field, getting kick backs to people like Uno and what not, that was really neat. Given the massive cast of characters they included a lot which was great. I hate how some were brought right to the brink of death and miraculously saved, while others who seemed like they could have been saved were killed. It was so random, but with the one power I guess it is hard to right a logical story line.

So much other stuff that will come to me, but no need to make this a novel.. overall great series. Enjoyed it all even the boring books were good in the long run.

One last thing, Aluvia or Alivia whatever her name is "She will help you die" Min says, wtf? So she gets him some coins and new clothes and thats it? Doesn't that seem like a cheap way out of that whole prophecy?
