I really enjoyed reading this book. Innovative and unpredictable. Although I can complain on the methods used to further the plot seemed hasty and underbaked sometimes.
Lets start with Rand. I was not a fan of him and I am still not a fan since the book1. The worst of Rand is his inner thoughts and inner dialogs.
I like the path Elayne and Nyneave heading to. I hope Nyneave changes its personality sooner for goodness sake.
Tar valon events, Aes sedai parts feel good. Antagonist viewpoints are rare I hope that they improve.
RJ really introduced novel possibilities to the story I am looking forward to see what happens.
UNO dialogs are so fun as well. I love side charecters more than I like Rand, and it seems odd in books that are more centered around Rand than others.

Spoiler***
I hope if RJ decides to kill, make it feel like a kill. Kills should not have an undo button. Specially with M,M,M. (You know which 3 M's I mean.)

This sure puts the EPIC in Epic Fantasy. On first read I missed Perrin quite a bit but in hindsight, I miss it when doorstopper WoT novels had relatively few plots

I remember now why this wasn't among my favorites when I first read through this series all those years ago. Perrin. Why did he cut out Perrin? Makes me sad, but it happens.
