The best book since Lord of Chaos.
Many major plotlines close finally.
Others are moved substantially forward. And by "others" I mean plotlines that have been laid hanging since book 1,2,4 etc.
Things actually change as much in this book as they have in the last 3 books... combined.
* * * MINOR SPOILERS * * *
Perrin finds Faile.
Loyal gets caught by his mother and ... something special happens.
Elayne gets the throne.
Galad avenges the "death" of his mother and most importantly her rape.
A forsaken is caught.
The Seanchan empire at the west falls to complete disarray and civil war. More than 50 nobles put armies on the field. In the future it will probably disintegrate as Artur's Hawking empire had.
Mat finally comes to a conclusion about his memories, the Eelfin and the Aelfin.
Moraine Sedai doesn't come back... exactly but beckons and pulls strings from across the "grave"
And more...
Many more.
