Are there any PoVs you really don't like?


In my present reread, I'm finding that almost nothing is disagreeing with me. Even the Gawyn POV, or Galina is interesting now, if only because I'm puzzling out were everybody is right now.

(Even stranger: I'm actually enjoying COT. Can't say that I remember being enthousiastic the first time...)

If so, which characters feature most prominently in those sections?

Does that make you angry? (As in, you really love Avi, but can't stand Elayne? Vice versa? You get it.)

Do you ever let yourself skip? Skim?


Never! My, whatever were you thinking of me? I'm just not that sort of man.

Conversely, what are your favorite PoVs?


I love the Darkfriends' POVs. You as a reader know so much about what's going on in the world, that I sometimes forget that somebody else is working to stop it all. I just read of Alviarin coming back to the WT after being on Tremalking for nearly a month. I completely forgot that she had a lead to the BA hunters.
I also loved Lady Shiaine and Jaichim Carridin. The same like has not been transfered to Daved Hanlon, who seems to be... pale, I guess you should say, compared to other DFs. He doesn't have an interesting part of his character to me.

Do you read them more than is called for?


No. I do not skim, I do not reread a chapter once I'm done. Other than the rereads of the entire series, but that's a different kettle of fish, I'm to ashamed to go into now.

I know we've talked about this before, but I'm re-reading KoD, and it's making me intensely curious. Especially for you new people I don't know.^.^
The mystery deepens... I think. *MySmiley*
