Perrin can talk to wolves, and that makes me very happy. Thom and Siuan are also fun characters. Verin is also an amazing woman. Read the Gathering Storm and you shall see how awesome she really is.

The series does drag on a few plot points, like (SPOILER)Perrins search and rescue for Faile., (SPOILER)Elayne's uniting of Andor. and the (SPOILER)White tower split, which all take place at the same time, and right when someone does anything the focus shifts away to someone else.

The Towers of Midnight ended with so much in the air and answered so many questions. Like the fact that (SPOILER)apparently Caemlyn is on fire, and the future is not very bright according to what Aviendha saw.

I find it amusing how there is an entire continent that has not effected the story at all yet and probably wont. (The land of madmen)
