Whats the dealyo with the kamehama Rand unleashed at Maradon on the trolloc horde. I was able to read the book in about 6 hours and am planning a reread but I don't recall mention of him having an angreal of any sort. This scene was vastly different than the earlier Trolloc attack at the secluded Tairen estate. The destruction of the Choedan Kal does not seem particularly relevant now that his own power level is over 9000.

Also was anyone surprised by the death of Nicola at the white tower battle in TAR. I thought I remember Min having some viewings about her as well as her own personnel foretelling. Seemed kind of odd just to kill her out of the blue at random. I didn't figure her for a red shirt but oh well. There is also the bit with the death of Carlinya where another vision did not come to fruition or at least not directly. Also isn't Tarna bonded to Logaine? Wouldn't he have felt it when she said yes to the "If you only knew the power of the dark side!" conversion? Also where are whats their faces, those two accepted raised to aes sedai by Egwene who were originally in Salidar?
