So I am on my first read and just finished Chapter 39: A Visit from a Verin Sedai, and holy shit that was probably my favorite chapter in the entire series so far. The reveal, the greatest double agent plan ever, her sacrifice by exploiting the most brilliant loophole ever to pass on all she knew.

People have always said that Verin was the greatest of all time, and now I know why. The one Aes Sedai who willingly went into enemy lines and sacrificed so much, put down her own life to serve the greater good and expecting nothing in return. She is the only Aes Sedai that I didn’t think to be an arrogant prick, caring more for image or politics than the true greater good.

She truly was a servant of all, and Egwene was right to say that her soul burned as bright as the light itself.
