I'm going back and RE-reading the whole series and for my first re-read of WoT it was incredibly revealing.
Obviously seeing Siuan and Moiraine raised as Aes Sedai and then later Moiraine meeting Lan and discovering the Black Ajah and all that was very exciting, even knowing what was going to happen beforehand it was fun to see the backstories to some less familiar characters and to see the more human side of the harder characters we meet later. I'm always surprised at how deep he brings the characters.
It makes me more curious about Cadsuane in later books... I can't remember specifically what Min saw about her in later books. Like is it still possible that she's Black Ajah or is she one of the Aes Sedai who is in Rand's hand? I remember who she is, but I guess I didn't pay enough attention to entertaining the possibility that she might Black.
The mention of Elyas is cool, just a little something thrown in there to enjoy.
Overall, very revealing... I originally read this between books 6 and 7, so I look forward to seeing how this effects the reading of Eye of the World again :)
