it didn't wrap enough things up, which makes me feel like the next book will do it all in a rush. I would much rather have seen that all the forces had gotten together by the end of the book and are prepared for the last battle, instead of more talk about tea and other assorted bullshit. Moiraine could have bene rescued in the begining so we could see what would happen when she and Rand and Co met again.

At the pace it's going now the actual last battle will happen in just a few chapters at the end of the last book. it would have been much cooler for the entire last book to be dedicated to the LB, instead of only a portion of it.
