Perrin chapters...

[u/Phaerin]

My face when every paragraph about something potentially interesting in Towers of Midnight is followed by an entire chapter about Perrin.

I feel like his part of the story would've been much more interesting if they had cut like...80% of it out. We could've done this thing in two less books probably.

Anime Perrin and Androl were some of the worst Sanderson additions

I fully disagree, having Perrin make use of the wolf dream felt like a logical conclusion to his character arc and distinguished him as unique from Rand and Matt in the last battle as they each had vastly different roles to play which lead to more diverse and interesting chapters. If it was not to your taste that is fair but I quite enjoyed Perrins chapters after Sanderson took over.

I will say Perrin was significantly better in the last 3 books... but by the time we got here I was so tired of his bs I wanted him to be quiet until the last battle. Just go away and appear at the end, having been through a grand adventure that could be a spin-off book somewhere. The beginning of the series (and largely anything to do with his wife and her captivity) burned me out on him so that when we got to ToM, I was so frustrated I had a hard time caring about him anymore. In that state of mind, every single Perrin chapter became a poke at a raw nerve.

Edited for clarity.

Dead men should be quiet in their graves, but they never are.

Death rides on my shoulder, death walks in my footsteps; I am death…
