Third Re-read. 
 Goosebumps. Rober Jordan and his "shove all the action in the last 5 chapters" writing style. My heart can't handle it. 
 Not for the first time I think on how, with a little bit of communication from the characters, none of this shit would happen! Why is everyone so stubbornly idiotic! Someone should introduce mobile phones and be done with it! 
 Example: 
 Nynaeve: Hi Rand, there's a crazy bitch here that says we need to come to Falme to help you. Are you in Falme by any chance? 
 Rand: Nope, not yet anyway, and I'm fine, all is good, you just stay put and yank that braid of yours! 
 And just like that, Egwene's misery could have been avoided! Thank You! 
 Okay I know! The Pattern and the "wheel will weave as it will" and what not, plus I know they all HAD to be there. Also,you can't have mobile phones in an Epic! Thank you Captain Obvious! 
 Anyway, Poor Egwene! God, those last chapters I wanted to burn down the Seanchan, destroy them all and their fucked up ideals. I got a new found respect for our Super Girls during that final scene when Renna comes in. Nyneave and Egwene are shockingly and rapidly becoming my favourite characters. Elayne, not so much, not yet anyways, she's a bit naive. Min <3. Nothing to say there, she's a gem. 
 There's something crappy about re-reading a book, you stop enjoying the actual story-line and start analyzing the events and how they link to further books and what they could possibly mean. It's draining. But must be done. Even now, I realize that I've forgotten so many important things and characters. It's an eye-opener EVERY time. I'm still confused about how some stuff tie in. I think Jordan wasn't as thorough as I had imagined him to be. Portal Stones anyone? Whatever happens to the ways in later books, after travelling is discovered? Do we revisit them or does everyone just totally forget about Machin Shin?! It's the same issue with the eye of the world from the first book, Jordan throws up concepts that are convenient but then totally forgets about them. While at face value that doesn't bother me, as someone whose re-reading it and looking for closure I'm a bit miffed. 
 I'm still enthralled by this series, and it will forever remain the best thing I've read. I'll have a shrine built for these books in my future home libray.
