The other characters seemed to be their usual selves. I enjoyed everyone's storyline, even Mat's for a change. I was glad Elayne wasn't really included in this book, but that's my own bias towards her character.
I enjoy Egwene's storylines, no matter how despicable I find her character, and was not happy with her exclusion from WH. I might appreciate that she is not screwing around with anyone, but don't see how ignoring her storyline makes the whole better. It is all of a piece, and seeking the removal of one part is like taking an ingredient from a recipe because it makes the dish ugly. We have certain PoVs because there is information in there that, however unfortunately obtained, puts other parts in perspective.
My review of The Gathering Storm.
