The Wheel of Time (Robert Jordan) Book • Page 8

Ok, how is it not obvious that this Selene woman is up to no good!?!?!

They mysteriously find her in this other world. She won't shut up about the Horn and now she keeps asking to see it. Kill her, Rand! Do it NOOOOOOW!

 

lol oh Selene

 

Lol I said the same thing. Selene's awesome, that stuff was some of my favorite in the series. Little naive Rand

 

Gah it's so hard to keep this spoiler free

 

Sorry!! Feel free to spoiler tag. I won't be looking at anything tagged.

 

New favorite moment Semirhage breaking free and collaring Rand. Really thought Min was going to die there, I'm glad she made it out. Got to imagine it's a big mistake letting Casduane go, I almost wonder if that was the Dark One's plan all along in releasing Semirhage, turning Rand against Cadsuane.

 

My favorite moment will always be Rhuidean.

 

Also Nynaeve healing severing.

 

Yeah I'm excited for scottlechowicz to get there. Speaking of, I just got to the part where Avienda is told she has to go back to Rhuidean!

 

And her walk through the Arch

 

Her role at the end of Winter's Heart, too. She's the worst and the best and I love her.

 

Wait, is there another walk through an arch or are you referring to her first test as "Accepted?" Because I just got to that part!

It was very "Luke sees Vader in the cave."

 

That's probably what he's referring to.

 

Yes! Book two has a lot of my favorite scenes, I love that book. One of his best climaxes too, so look forward to that.

 

I think my favorite climax is three. Or nine. Probably nine.

 

Every single climax has delivered imo. Fires of Heaven also another stand out.

 

the battle at the White Tower was epic as all hell. see you the fuck later Elaida! (or should I say Shuffa)...still expecting redemption for her though. Also Rand is about as cold as it gets.

 

So yeah, I adored The Gathering Storm. We're very lucky that Sanderson was chosen to finish it. His writing is more straightforward and the POV's don't really take the characters personalities into consideration, for example, every other 10 words in a Cadsuane chapter wasn't Phaw! He's got the characters down though (There wasn't much Mat so I haven't seen anything I disliked in those chapters yet) He even made me like a few characters I didn't before, hello Gawyn. So many epic payoffs all the way back to the Eye of the World, it's just so damn satisfying.

I do, however, wish that Rand would have gone through with his attack on the Seanchan. I now don't think they are heading in this direction, but I would have loved it if Rand just continued to get colder and colder until he's almost as bad as the Dark One. Seems like the ending is definitely pointing towards him getting his shit back together

 

How in the world did Egwene and Nynaeve fall for that shit?

That was so obviously a trap.

 

Holy snap! They blew the horn! Things are poppin off!

 

Yeah this is some of my favorite stuff from the entire series.

 

This thread is just delightful to my little nerdy heart.

 

So at this point, 11 chapters into book 3, the only character I really love unabashedly is Perrin. Oh, and Loail! He is the best.

The rest annoy me to varying degrees. With the most annoying being a tie between Mat and Nyaeve.

 

I just started book 10. I've read the first nine a few times... and always stop, this time I'm finishing it

 

Excellent. Ten is the roughest bit.
