Ok, after reading those two reviews (and pat's on pats fantasy hotlist) I'm out. I bought The Gathering Storm and thought that it was poor apart from the Tuon/Rand confrontation scene. Rand's epiphany at the end did not convince me, and the idea that a teenager (egwene) would be allowed to become the leader of the most powerful institution in the world is patently ridiculous. It would just not happen.

Books 1-6 were great. Everything after that has been a disaster. Every time a new one comes out I think 'I'm not going to buy this' and end up caving in. Not this time; I have no desire to get this book at all.

Anyway, thanks to the first two reviewers on this thread who have saved me twenty euros.
