I re-read the last third of the book last night and I found Thom's contemplation of the perfect word to sum up the story especially moving this second time around. It felt like exactly how *I* felt trying to find the perfect way to describe the book.
This. And Egwene's death. Moiraine's triumphant return. Lan's laughter in chapter 5 or 6.
Also, for some reason early on I teared up a lot more than later. I think after all the battles I started to expect dramatic deaths and recoveries and wasn't as phased by them when they happened.
