Re: I think WH was my least favorite of the WoT novels I re-read orius Send a noteboard - 25/05/2010 05:05:09 PM
I never cared much for the Far Madding storyline. And it is very disappointing that Perrin and Faile's storyline just drops abruptly after Chapter 6.

Mat's storyline is still my favorite part of the book, with the Cleansing coming in second.
