Poorly written, but I still got goosebumps at Rand's importance finally being demonstrated... Shannow Send a noteboard - 01/10/2010 03:14:48 PM
Link below.


Sanderson's style is really not up to scratch, "tradewinds", "produced", "in a continent of chaos" instead of "on a continent of chaos".

And Rand certainly does not sound like the Rand we know.

But I LOVE the fact that this whole story of two main protagonists is now buried once and for all.

Sure Egwene has an important role to play. But she can't make the friggin trees bloom just by her mere presence!

She can't heal people just by looking at them, and turn foul air into a spring breeze.

Rand is the man, and finally everyone will start realising it.

Yeah man.

Not too much new to work with. Is "she" Egwene? Cads? Someone else? *NM* RandAllThor - 01/10/2010 02:01:12 PM 824 Views

It's the style. In the Randland context, the word "grows" is more appropriate... Shannow - 01/10/2010 03:31:22 PM 1426 Views
did you not read my reply title? That was a quote from The Shadow Rising, same exact context. *NM* Deadsy - 01/10/2010 03:32:23 PM 782 Views

He has achieved enlightenment and knows more than everyone else, so he doesn't have to be insecure.. Shannow - 01/10/2010 03:52:23 PM 1285 Views
I don't agree - I think that what he is going to tell Egwene will be unpleasant for everyone. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 01/10/2010 04:07:19 PM 1386 Views
Why would that upset her? Shannow - 01/10/2010 04:21:29 PM 1433 Views
