ta'veren is old tongue for "main character" you know.... moondog Send a noteboard - 30/11/2010 04:32:29 AM
Sure, the book had faults, but really, I didn't expect this level of fanboy-rage. Haters gonna hate I guess.

If I could choose things to be done differently, it would be Graendal's survival (that WAS poor writing) and Mat's letter. But these minor points aside, I found the rest of the book to be pretty good in general. It didn't have the oomph of TGS, but I never expected it to, since it followed Mat and Perrin, who are ultimately supporting characters.


they're more main characters than the real main character, rand al'thor. especially in the last two books.

I love Ituralde, slightly A-teamish but better more realistic than most of the stuff in there *NM* - 29/11/2010 03:15:03 PM 693 Views

That is what made me think Mat wrote the letter that way on purpose. - 30/11/2010 01:57:26 PM 1461 Views
