I also read TGS and TOM one after the other and would have to disagree wth your comment there too. the timeline jumping around was very noticeable and not sensible or smooth at all - after hearing of Perrin being in Caemlyn with the Queen we suddenly go to him being mired in the middle of nowhere.
Where exactly we seen this? I don't remember hearing of Perrin being in Caemlyn with the Queen and see him mired in the middly of nowhere.
You made this up.
Nope, just remembered it not quite right I was thinking of Rand and Tam's scene towards the end of TGS where Tam mentions the Whitecloaks and the queen. Then the reference to Elayne threw my memory off, I thought he'd said they were all in Caemlyn together at that point which he didn't.
He's most certainly mired in the middle of nowhere in TOM, how else would you describe wading through mud for days?

/tGS: These are damned good books.

Disagree strongly on the time line issue - TOM showed what a mistake splitting by 'clusters' was IMO

Splitting it this way was the only realistic choice

It will be better than CoT, sure, but still not good enough to appease most fans

Exactly my feeling on TGS, but I do think ToM inferior to it (though still good).

Right, it's good, but could be better (or it could be better, but is still good).

"Reading" TGS &ToM in audio format and just weeks apart made them work better together. *NM*

I agree. Also, chopping up the timelines was the best decision given the circumstances.
