I really liked Rand's in this book, and I enjoyed Egwene's much more than usual. Normally, I really hate hers. And usually, I don't like Rand's either, but I thought it was really well done this time around. Especially his trying to become cuendillar and then when he goes up to Dragonmount. I really liked it . Mat's view was still good, though not the same as it was in previous books, but I think Brandon Sanderson still did a really good job on it, and I still enjoyed reading Mat, if not as much as I did when RJ wrote him.

At some points, the Egwene PoV's went on a little long, but I still liked them. I did not like Ituralde's, whom I never liked, or Perrin's and Faile's (and I never liked either of them to begin with). Other than that I was fairly happy with everyone else. It seemed, in this book, there were less PoV's.

Verrin turning out to be Black Ajah was deffinately a shock. I was gaping at the page when I first read it, then thinking about how some people had been suspecting this, and how other people had decided that she was innocent. Next to that...the chapter title for chapter 36 was pretty ridiculous, not to mention missleading (The Death of Tuon). I had already read somewhere not to take it too seriously (Darn you, spoilers! ) but it was nevertheless a shock, especially when it said Tuon was dead when it got to her PoV. That was a shocker, no doubt.
