Here's a list of what I think are the Biggest or Best things about the Last Chronicles. Feel free to add to this. Hellfire, throw in a Worst something if you want.
1. Best Moment - "Show me the TRUTH!"
2. Biggest Surprise - Covenant's alliance with the Lurker. No one predicted that. (honorable mention - the death of Liand)
3. Best Character - Stave
4. Best Comeback - the Ranyhyn (honorable mention, Caerroil Wildwood)
5. Best Speech - Stave to the Masters at the end of ROTE
6. Best Battle - Linden vs. Roger and Jeremiah at Earthroot
7. Best Reveal - the seventh word
8. Best use of previous material - The Theomach was the Guardian of the One Tree

Best Build Up with Great Let Down( or Donaldson's sliest joke)..Mishio Massima..Hauls TC's butt around and eats grass..thats all folks!!..1st runner up for disrespected..those other Giant Sailors the author seemed couldn't be bothered to name..what the hell, hes just gonna kill'em any way..off the ledge they go..whats his name...
Best Disappearing Act ( besides me)..the Kresh..not even a mention in TLD.
Best Inside Out Upside Down.. Moksha possessing Jerry only to allow Jerry to find compassion and thus thwart the Raver..This may be the Best Moment for Me.
Best OMG He Really Did That!!...TC killing Joan..
The Strangest,,Weird,,but possibly Honest....the author giving the Waynhim all those female bodies to inhabit...okay okay okay,,then that makes all us guys ur-viles,,okay..and don't forget...we are all demondim spawn..
Best.."I'm not sure I want to read any further" moment...of course ,,in the hollow, when Roger, Jeremiah and Linden got gunned down.
Best,," I'm glad to tears I kept reading" Moment....the epilogue.

This would qualify as my most dissappointing moment in the Chronicles. I had such high hopes for Liand...

Done. I've noticed the glitch seems to be back again - another manifestation of the old Watch Bane.
