I finally finished my own re-read last night! I liked Thom's little section where he has a little internal monologue about this. He called the Last Battle "exquisite" because the good guys really had to fight and sacrifice to win. If they didn't, would it really have been worthy of being the...

Two examples off the top of my head: Elayne thinks about Rand, and based on what she can feel through the bond he's still in Altara, and still in "dark mode". But by this point in the book, however, we've seen that Rand is in Tear, and in "light mode". Nynaeve fetches Tam from Perrin in the...
