7 years later and I am done, first read. Holy moly. The emotional cavity is large.

Egwene, Gawyn, Siuan, Bryne, Bashere, Ruark.. It just kept coming 😭😭😭😭😭😭

I'm unsure about the epilogue. My rational brain gets it, it's a good ending. But my emotional self wanted more of a cheesy romantic ending. I wanted to see Rands reunion with everyone, I wanted to see him sail into the sunset with his wives, his family and his friends being the GOAT that he is.

The spirit body swap felt weird.

It should have been Moiraine to recognise him at the end, not Cadsuane. That felt unfair.

I'm left feeling a little off, but all in all, WOW. It hit hard.

Anyone feel the same/similar?

Edit: Added Ruark as a key loss.
