It's good to see an old face- errr, username!
I rather liked Towers of Midnight on the whole. Rand post-epiphany still gives me goosebumps.
I thought Lan's journey to Tarwin's Gap was a lot of fun to read.
Perrin really came to fruition in this book. He was my favorite character through book four. Then I hated him until KoD, when he redeemed himself with some great Seanchan scenes and the battle of Malden. Now that he has finally embraced his wolf side, he's back up to awesome status. Which is probably too bad, because the prophecy at the end of the book was heart-wrenching (and kind of creepy, to boot).
Mat has been the hardest character for me to read under Sanderson's style, as he was the one I liked the most, and his humor/behavior/drive has been lost in translation, as it were. However, I've come to a grudging acceptance that Mat has lost 40-60 IQ in the new books. And his trip to the Tower of Ghenjei recaptured some of his former glory. BTW, didn't expect it to be such a short trip. Still, it was epic. And hey, Moiraine's back!
Other than that...?
Faile - Like her now
Elaine - Don't like her now
Egwene - Never liked her
Nynaeve - Always loved her
Min - Used to like her, now... meh
Aviendha - Much better now she's a Wise One
Thom - Still funny, hope he stays with Mat till the end
Forsaken - still kind of suck
Hopper - *sob*
Nicola - *no sob*
Creepy Shadow-turned Ashaman and Aes Sedai - Admittedly scarier than the Forsaken

Egwene has been ruined for me for a while. Her only saving grace...

I loved it too. I appreciate the trade-off of slight inaccuracies for faster pace

Gawyn's problem was not Egwene, imo.

Gawyn has annoyed me for quite some time.

My favorite part was the forging of Perrin's new hammer. *NM*
