This one dragged a bit for me, though admittedly it was long. I got pretty tired of spending time with

Perrin in the wolf dream

, though it might've been less annoying if I had been reading to myself rather than aloud. The return of

Moiraine

was much anticipated but I thought it was very sudden and in a way unearned that

she and Thom were suddenly an item. Sanderson had given us some small hints of a stronger connection, but it felt tacked on and definitely didn't seem like something Jordan set up. What I'm responding to isn't the relationship but the clumsiness of its introduction.
