But as an ending to the series I thought it was flawed. It seemed to me like all the lauded complexity and depth of WOT was wasted on a fin-fictiony ending. All those dozens of subplots and hundreds of secondary characters and beautiful world building...and in the end we got 800 pages of people killing Trollocs and then an ending with no closure. As exciting and well-written as the Trolloc-killing was, the series deserved better IMO
For crying out loud, we waited 20 years for Rand to meet Moiraine again, and then we got like maybe a page and a half of them interacting before it turned into a tower defense flash game. The series as a whole was always about the characters, and I felt like the characters were shunted off to the side to make room for the Tarmon Gaidon spectacle.

I found the ongoing Trolloc killing a bit tedious.

I had extremely low expectations, which I guess were sort of met.

I don't remember you being such an arrogant prick years ago on WoTmania

I'm surprised you are so happy with it. It was action packed, but sloppy. Usually you dislike that

I wouldn't go so far as to say TOTALLY, but I was not satisfied.

I will say that the battle was well constructed in certain places
