I've been reading the series sinc e EoTW hit bookshelves circa 1990 darius_sedai Send a noteboard - 05/10/2010 11:10:08 PM
And I don't mean that in any way to be snarky. But that you've let something, that is so minor, in any way spoil your enjoyment of BS's WoT books is sad. It's like y'all are looking for things to complain about. And it has to be taking away from your enjoyment of the end of the series.


Some things just jump out at me. I can't pretend that they don't.


And there are things that jump out as inconsistent. But that's been the case for far longer than BSand has been involved. RJ was notorious for changing the rules whenever he saw fit, and being completely guileless in his explanations!

For the record, it sucks waiting for you people to wake up and read this Deadsy - 01/10/2010 01:50:02 PM 1496 Views
Deadsy is like the Keebler Elves, but real newyorkersedai - 01/10/2010 04:38:15 PM 1365 Views
Not too much new to work with. Is "she" Egwene? Cads? Someone else? *NM* RandAllThor - 01/10/2010 02:01:12 PM 841 Views
Thanks for the heads up, by the way. *NM* RandAllThor - 01/10/2010 02:01:34 PM 806 Views

This blaming Brandon for everything stuff is getting old. Deadsy - 01/10/2010 02:55:04 PM 1620 Views
I've never blamed BS for anything (expect fucking up Mat's character) Lordling - 01/10/2010 03:27:36 PM 1398 Views
I suppose it looks like I'm singling you out Deadsy - 01/10/2010 03:31:41 PM 1420 Views

Poorly written, but I still got goosebumps at Rand's importance finally being demonstrated... Shannow - 01/10/2010 03:14:48 PM 1635 Views
"My father’s estates do produce lumber and fine woods, and ice peppers, and furs, and more besides." Deadsy - 01/10/2010 03:27:22 PM 1820 Views
It's the style. In the Randland context, the word "grows" is more appropriate... Shannow - 01/10/2010 03:31:22 PM 1471 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 796 Views
Fine. So be it. It still feels wrong to me. *NM* Shannow - 01/10/2010 03:36:16 PM 697 Views
but it's all RJ's fault *NM* Deadsy - 01/10/2010 03:40:14 PM 636 Views
Maybe it's in the context of BS's sentences... Shannow - 01/10/2010 03:44:28 PM 1390 Views
Funny, I like BS more than RJ Sidious - 01/10/2010 03:46:53 PM 1382 Views
Ya, BS's Elayne was totally different than RJ's... *NM* Deadsy - 01/10/2010 03:52:33 PM 815 Views
I feel bad for you. I really do. LiterateDog - 01/10/2010 03:54:02 PM 1427 Views
Yes it does. But it is not conscious. It comes from 15 years of growing up reading Wot.. Shannow - 01/10/2010 03:55:39 PM 1322 Views

It sounds like Rand is finally growing up RugbyPlayingAshaman - 01/10/2010 03:46:54 PM 1526 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 1326 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 1418 Views
Why would that upset her? Shannow - 01/10/2010 04:21:29 PM 1471 Views
Because I think she was hoping to work with him to solve some of these problems RugbyPlayingAshaman - 01/10/2010 04:42:33 PM 1434 Views

Re: want to back that up with an actual quote from Egwene's mouth? urizen - 07/10/2010 09:45:21 PM 1296 Views

We've seen hints of this power for a while darius_sedai - 02/10/2010 09:42:04 PM 1216 Views
That may have been an indirect result of using the TP, rather than a direct one Rurouni_Kenshin - 03/10/2010 03:30:24 AM 1261 Views
