The only place that saidar failing has been mentioned, I think, is Egwene’s camp. And maybe the White Tower?

This makes it seem localised. So could be weakening the weaves using saidin? Chief suspect would be Halima.

The Rand / Lews Therin dynamic reminds me a lot of Thomas and Ashen Shugar where they influenced each other forwards and backwards in time.

And the wheel is all about circles, after all.

Logain shows up and is almost immediately followed by Shadowspawn. Suspicious.

Interesting that he and Rand still nominally consider the Black Tower to be under his command; previously it seemed like Taim had taken over completely.

The palace of Caemlyn has changed layout? Interesting. Weird, but definitely interesting…

Oh bloody hell, another cursed knife 🙄

Can Selucia channel? 🤔

Mat’s chapters continue to be great.

Moiraine’s letter is quite something.

I cannot recall any allusions to the Eelfinn and Aelfinn being snakes and foxes previously but it’s all over the last few chapters and ties into the prophecies, his medallion, the games with Olver etc.

Mat chapters are the best chapters.

I like the visual of Joline throwing things at Mat non-stop because she can’t just slap him around with the power 🤣

Anan is a stilled Aes Sidai, interesting.

Noal is Farstrider then? Seems like Mat knows it too.

So Faile just swore an oath to rescue her to adherents… while holding the oath rod. No one power around, but still seems like it could be significant.
