View original postReally enjoyed the Rand/Tam sword practicing scene.....very nicely done.


View original postYes, the empty skin of the super fade was definitely implying that he was the DO's essense or something (kind of like the Mouth of Sauron).


View original postAbove I mentioned that I agreed that there was too much battle. I mean the hand to hand combat stuff, not the scale and scope which was excellent.


View original postSpeaking of Moiraine, did I miss something, but was there any sort of Moiraine/Lan reunion scene. I never saw one and even looked back for it. I remember her, Lan, and Rand talking, but it was very matter of fact. That was a little strange.

I only remember the scene where Moraine was in the tent and Lan was outside. Their interaction since she returned was described as tense. I think it was a Perrin POV but don't remember. I read into it that he was still upset that she had passed his bond to that yellow sister.


I don't recall either, but I 'm not sure it was tense: I think it was just described as more distant than expected given their prior relationship. The POV probably came from Perrin given that he didn't realize that the loss of the Bond would color their interaction and the way she arranged its' passing if she died was not beneficial to him. Plus Mat was in the South for most of the first half of the book. I think that was supposed to be juxtaposed with Perrin being surprised that Nynaeve smelled respectful of Moiraine after all of those books being angry at her.

Now that you both mention it, did Moiraine and Siuan get a scene together at all? Given their friendship and mutual loss of OP strength, that seems like a waste.

No change here ... Still feels like a rather rushed book that focused too much on a battle and not darius_sedai - 10/03/2013 10:52:17 PM 1349 Views
