I honestly expect Perrin's plotline to be exciting. RJ has had his wolf ability running on the back burner for a very long time, but think back to the beginning (back when you hoped the next chapter was a Perrin POV, instead of praying it wasn't) and remember how much was left open and unexplained.

Mat's POV's have been exciting for me since TDR, and with the the whole Moraine rescue thing on the cover of the book, I doubt this book is gonna change that.

Elayne has always been kinda boring. Let us face facts and admit that RJ cannot write enthralling political scenes. This won't change.

Any scenes with Rand I'm concerned about. How well will his turn around be written? He is still partially insane from the taint, and still bears the greatest burden of all.

I'm hoping for a couple deftly concealed clues as to the Shadow's schemes, and anything from Tuon's perspective.

Above all, I hope this book leaves me salivating for the final installment. At this point, I'm sure an incompetent and illiterate gas station attendant could pull that off, as I have been reading this series for half my life.

Please note that I have no prejudice against gas station attendants, for without them, I'd have to pump my own gas, and that would surely suck.
