1. Agree
Perrin was my favorite character up until the Faile rescue arc. We don't see Perrin for an entire book and then he only gets a few pages in the next. As a reward for our patience, we get the mission to Masema and "must rescue Faile at all costs" story arc for the next 3 books...ouch! That was definitely a slap to the face for all Perrin fans.
2. Disagree
I would have liked Moiraine rescued by now, but I understand that a lot of other things, finding Olver, Noal, the Band, Aludra, bellfounders, etc. had to happen before. I don't want to feel like I am being rushed when reading, thank goodness I read RJ huh?
3. Agree/Disagree
I think it is pretty clear that Graendal killed Asmodean. I really like how RJ kept some things hidden, it's more fun to discuss possibilities with others than to have everything spelled out for you. With that being said, you could argue the posibility of another person being the killer
4. Mostly Disagreeish/Maybe/Somewhat
Demandred makes use of proxies, possibly Masema, the peddler that speaks to Gawyn, etc. so who is to say how much he controls. I will agree that I would like more info on Demandred, but do you really want to add Demandred story arcs and make the series that much longer? Yeah me too.
