I've been slowly picking my way through the last Wheel of Time book for over a month. Honestly, for the grand finale, I find it the second weakest entry in the series after 10.
I'm sorry to say it, but Brandon Sanderson simply isn't up to the task of filling Robert Jordan's shoes. I had minor gripes with the last few books, but thought he was doing alright.
A Memory of Light feels like a failure to me. To add insult to injury, beyond weak narrative and a very poor understanding of the characters he's adopted, I keep catching modern-speak that feels glaringly out of place in a fantasy world, especially one which had it's own dialect.

I think it's fantastic, about 80 pages left right now.

Just wait until you see what happens in the second half of the book it's insane. Although I do agree with your gripes, there is a lot of content and things to resolve. It does seem things are a little rushed getting through with some of the characters but considering there's like a 100 I can sorta understand it. For me the weakest of his was towers of midnight. I don't think he handled Demandred well at all or even most of the secondary players especially Logain and some of the other power wielding people, but the key people like the 3 boys and the wonder girls I think he's doing ok with. Still some people seem to be missing or pushed to the sidelines. I can't even remember or know where Thom or Domon is for example.
