Rands vision was like the way of leaf

Will the tinkers find there song?

Tam, the dragonsworn, ogier, borderlands and ogier all have a unified attack that blows out the sharans. Matt and D are still dancing

Rand shows D1 what it would be like if D1 didn’t exist and realized there was no balance. It would be the same as if turning someone to the dark, they lose part of themselves

Faile makes it to SG only to get betrayed but one of her friends. Oliver stabs a channeler to help escape

Haymitch turns to achohol to drown his memories of Lenore. He is bungled around the districts as a Victor but knows he has to push everyone away lest they be hurt.

Poes the raven is interwoven through the book but heavily in the last chapter. Shows theams of loss and despair

H is sent home with the bodies of dead friends.
Walking home he sees the red glow of firelight in the distance.
His house is on fire, his family beyond saving. He screams to be released to try but he is too weak.
At the funeral the next day he sees maysilles twin and can’t take it.
Thoughts on Lenore he returns to the field. After embrassing he finds gumdrops to feed to Lenore. She dies at his hand.

H is treated of his wounds and held in an apartment until the capital is able to edit enough of the story to make it seem like he didn’t rebel

He is shown Lucy gray singing in her rainbow dress and gets the obvious threat from snow.

After that he is a good boy and does what the capital wants. On stage they show the recap and it has been heavily altered.

Snow tells him to enjoy his homecoming

Haymitch trying to save his little ally scavenges for dry wood to start a fire. The sound of the cannon startles him into a run. Breaking into the clearing silka is holding he ally’s head.

They have an axe battle leading to the hedge. S throws her axe off the cliff at H and it returns to her head moments later

H struggles to quickly set the bomb while his innards are hanging out. He throws it and all goes black

Elayne tries to take up command with people assuming Matt died. D attacks her to draw out Rand. Brigette forces her to leave and regroup. Garterh found dead.

Egwene quickly-ish recovers from losing Gwayne. It’s going to be tough but the world needs and Amyrlin at the battlefield. She bonds Lelwin shipless as a warder

Tam wins his battle and a brief rest. Elderly and children emerge from mayne to scavenge from the dead/look for survivors

D1 shows R another vision of possibilities this time it's not quite as twisted as the previously. He's taking all the consciousness and emotions from other people. a fruit vendor shoots a kid with a rifle. We're in Camlyn. We find the Queen's whatever in that basil gil runs. BG tries to rob Rand because he could Ran tells the D1 that he will show him one final vision of a world without darkness.

Matt watching SC recouping from them attack and tuon raises Min to one of the blood and T admits that min saved her life, they try to start their kind of ploy where They are fake fighting. They're pretending that the seanchan are gonna pull out of the fight.

Androl and Pevara's pov they are behind enemy lines using the mirror of mist to pretend that there black Ajah And the Sharon's actually bring them to D directly who yells at them and threatens to kill them. They're trying to find who is Taim and they find out that he's somewhere on the front lines of the battle so they run

Switch to a Elayne's POV she does not handle Gw’s death well
Tam's pov the two rivers archers are running out of arrows who run out of arrows. They see that the white cloaks are being attacked by the trollocs and attack the rear of hydraulics to prevent the white cloaks from dying

Galad is carrying out Matt's mission trying to kill the Sharan Channelers. He finds gawayne who is dying. He tries to carry him back down a hill, but a rift opens underneath him. Gw finals words are to tell galad about deMadrid and tells him that rand is his half brother. Galad goes off to do what must be done, which is to fight D.

Text coming shortly

Matt is Rand in disguise*

M’heal arrives and antagonizes D. D puts a true source shield around M’h which acts odd. This type of shield doesn’t stop you from touching the source it instead siphons it. D uses M’hs power to send out a big balefire cross. If he committed to the attack the battle would be over in seconds.

Rand and D1 play he said she said

Suiane and min rush back inside to see mat fighting 3 gray men as he tries to get to Tuon. Min throws a knife to catch a man about to plunge his sword into T.

Matt points to S who no longer has visions above her head. She died at some point saving Mat

Deamodred POV. He pulls the bran from GOT and sees the battlefield through a hawks eyes. Crows kept getting shot down. He is even more convinced that Matt is Rand

Elayne and lan move I position two pinch the trollocs on the hilltop.

Matt gives logain permission to fight d. Shortly after gray men arrive with sharan chandlers to attack the command post. Matt’s ability to see them is still very uncommon.

Min saves toun and rushes out side to find suine. She had a vision a couple books back that if she doesn’t stick with gareth they would both die

R showed D1 a version of the future if R wins. It has reminds field as a great city with over and men working tougher

Egwene feels Gawayne get wounded and almost opens a gateway to jump to him but is talked down by a red

M tells galad to take a fox head and attack the Sharan channelers. Elayne is surprised he would do it but he says women fighting for evil are just as bad as men

Not reading but just a thought.

What was the purpose of showing that Egwene could turn metal into cullindor while the siege in the white tower was occurring. That hasn’t come up since.

Will she need it somehow to handle the seals?

Androl and Pevara’s can now complete full sentences in each others head. Pevara was able to use Androls talent as well

Ruharc was taken haptics by greandal. She uses some kind of compulsion to make him fall in love with her

Gawayne and Damodred fought while G had the rings on. He had a slight advantage as he was fast and hard to see but D was way better and could weave. G stabbed D and left him to die or deliver a message to Rand. Called the rings “nights shadow”. G still wants Rand

Faile found the town in the blights. Debating on if they should sneak though the gates.

Perrin wakes up

Mat and demodred are playing chess. Each move countering three or four plots the other makes.
Mat is sending coded messages as he confirmed D has ears in the command tent.
M seems to be 3-4 steps ahead of everyone else and they are increasing in awe of it

Rand and D1 talk smack weaving the pattern instead of the 5 elements. D1 shows Rand what happens if he loses

Gawayne puts on the rings to kill D. Elayne sees

200+ page chapter!? The last battle a lot is happening pov swapping every page

Matt won’t tell anyone his battle plan
Demanded is linked with 70+ channelers and raging about asking for Rand
Elayne pissed at Matt but gets it
Lan leading the Calvery
Tam leading archers
Logaine and co are hunting for the seals. Pretty sure rain has them

Seems like Matt wants this battle to be a one and done

Matt claims to be avoiding work is putting the final preparations in wbfore the battle. The shadow is not supposed to be there for days but he realizes they are there early. He needs to change the plan so the dark freinds don’t know what he will do

Perrin manages to awaken from the dream and is found by master Luhann

Olver pov in the blight. Watches a tree eat a man
Cadusane and Avienda plan for of graendal comes back
Faile tried hiding the horn but Vernin and another red hand finds and tries to take it. Could be more compulsion
Rand talks to the dark one. Mordin was a ploy.
Nyneve sees Alanah wounded chained a wall in the pit. As Rand is her warder this is another plot

…..while trollocs attack the front. A feels her circle dwindling and realizes G attacked and killed some of its members. Kidnaps one of the AS.

P losses a fight to slayer. Fought on thunder cloud (dope). Lanfear pissed he lost abandoned him. He is bleeding out
F retrieved the horn from tar valon but bubble of evil sends them into the blight. She is suspicious of valan and satele but has to trust someone. They are heading towards SG
Avienda learns about red aiel. Sees Grendel near command tent. Cadusane saves A. in circle they fight red aiel around the camp

H makes a light using the wires he gave M she had hidden in her backpack. They get a gift of pudding and chocolate which he coaxes her to eat.

At night he hears silks crying at the base of the tree and drops her a couple chocolates.

They are pitted against each other but H still shows humanity
