I'm personally a huge fan of Lord of Chaos. It's always a high point when I re-read the series. I really like all of the subtle foreshadowing of what's coming up, all of the careful politics and groundwork that RJ laid for the latter half of the series, and then of course Dumai's Wells is such an incredible moment in the series.

Fair points, I think. I still think it's going a different direction than my head. I wish we'd been convinced Logain was the real Dragon, just waiting for his chance to get away. Moiraine playing it so close to the vest even one POV would have wrecked it. She's doing something that will get herself and Siuan hanged if they're caught, after all!

For Nynaeve. I guess I DO see why she hates Moiraine already. Even in early books, I like her more every reread. But importantly, she's placed in a position of having no interest in listening to Moiraine or learning from her. Moiraine is the boogeyman to her. She blames her for destroying the sanctity of Emond's Field like many cancer patients blame their doctor for the diagnosis.
