Overall, I loved the series, and thought it had a fantastic ending, though I do have a few small quibbles regarding A Memory of Light. A big complaint was that in the first half of the book, every time someone snuck into someone else’s tent (this happened a lot), the dialogue felt very “young adult.” The vibe of the dialogue and the relationships felt very different from previous novels. I remembered thinking that if I had to get through one more tent sneaking scene that I was going to put the book down and read Holly.
For the characters:
I’m happy that Moraine was there, but that was simply all she was – there. I feel like Moraine’s story was cut short by the end. It seemed as though there wasn’t really a plan for Padan Fain. I felt like it didn’t make a ton of sense, and was a bit anticlimactic. Mat could have died, and he would have had a better ending than the one he got. Specifically, Mat dying to the ruby dagger would have been an appropriate ending.
Egwene had a great ending. Amazing. Nynaeve and Lan both had a great ending. If Lan would have died, I wouldn’t have been mad, but I’ll take it. Faile and Perrin both had a great ending. I’ll take it. Rand had an excellent ending. I really believe his ending was perfect. Aviendha and Elayne were both amazing in the finale.
Androl was incredible. Ituralde finally gets his due in the end, after spending his entire part of the series getting his ass kicked.
There are plenty more, but I won’t continue to go on. The Wheel of Time was a wonderful series. It took a while to get through, but I’m glad to have read it, and I’m very satisfied with the ending.

“You have two choices,” Talmanes said, turning his horse and speaking loudly to the troop. “You can fight like the rest of us and help this world see new days, and maybe you’ll earn some coin in the end. I can’t promise that. Your other option is to sit here, watch people be slaughtered and tell yourselves that you don’t work for free. If you’re lucky, and the rest of us salvage this world without you, you’ll draw breath long enough to be strung up by your cowardly necks.”

Nynaeve continued to write as they entered. She no longer wore braids; her hair was loose around the top of her shoulders. It was a sight as strange as a ship with no mast.

If Mat were here, he would probably curse a lot, complain as much, then proceed to save them all with some battlefield miracle. Talmanes couldn’t reproduce Mat’s blend of insanity and inspiration, but his yell did seem to encourage the men.

“You would consider most of what we did during the Age of Legends to be crackbrained and irresponsible. That was a different time, Aviendha. There were many more channelers, and we were trained from a young age. We didn’t need to know things like warfare, or how to kill. We had eliminated pain, hunger, suffering, war. Instead, we used the One Power for things that might seem common.”

An aging man, white-haired and shrouded in a multihued cloak. A woman in yellow, her dark hair cut short, adorned with an assortment of gemstones set in gold. And a tall man, hair the color of living coals. He wore his coat of red and gold, but under it a simple Two Rivers shirt.

He saw Elayne, captive and alone, a Dreadlord preparing to rip their children from her womb. He saw Rhuarc, his mind forfeit, now a pawn of one of the Forsaken. He saw Mat, desperate, facing down horrible odds. He saw Lan riding to his death. Demandred’s words dug at him. The Dark One’s pressure continued to tear at him. Rand had failed. But in the back of his mind, a voice. Frail, almost forgotten. Let go.

Demandred struck, and Lan saw his opening. Lan lunged forward, placing Demandred’s sword point against his own side and ramming himself forward onto it. “I did not come here to win,” Lan whispered, smiling. “I came here to kill you. Death is lighter than a feather.” Demandred’s eyes opened wide, and he tried to pull back. Too late. Lan’s sword took him straight through the throat.

The Trollocs were massed ahead on his left side, the Sharan army ahead on the right.

Cadsuane nodded toward Thom, then continued on toward the cavern where Rand was fighting for the fate of the world. As soon as her back was to Thom, he flipped a single knife—his other hand still holding the pipe in his mouth—through the air.

Callandor was flawed. Any man using it could be forced to link with women, to be placed in their control. A trap … and one he used on Moridin. “Link!” Rand commanded. They fed it to him. Power. Saidar from the women. The True Power from Moridin. Saidin from Rand. Moridin’s channeling the True Power here threatened to destroy them all, but they buffered it with saidin and saidar, then directed all three at the Dark One.
