I have a number of thoughts that I haven't heard on this board. Many of these should probably be there own posts, but I don't want to swamp the board.
1. Nobody has talked about Perrin and Faile other then a few complaints. But it was quite good. I really liked the fact the Perrin, FINALLY, realizes that he has to change and that he is going to work on it. The ending of his section and his resolve to not be so violent, be able to let Faile go into danger, and to become a better leader, is a miniature version of Rand's conversion. Faile and Maseema was quite good as was her ritual honoring the brotherless. Suffice it to say, I like both Perrin and Faile a lot better after tGS and were glad this section was included.

I had thought the multi-book arc about Faile-rescure was about the corruptive nature of power as it happened to the most decent guy in the book. In a short period of time, Perrin got corrupted by the absolute power he had and went to as dark a place as he can go. He is willing to work with the DO to get his wife back, just as Rand actually worked with the DO to save Min.
His step backward is easier than Rand's , since he did not go into darkness as far as Rand did. But being a better leader instead of a dictator is his rejection of absolute power.

Besides, Sorilea is fairly weak in the OP. Would she be able to undo the wards?

Surprising myself, I missed Elayne. And even more surprising, I actually liked Mat this time.
