I think the most obvious "prequel" to Rand's arc in this book would be the Seanchan Campaign in The Path of Daggers.

That passage was always the reason why I felt that TPoD was a great book despite some of its... less enjoyable passages.


Gathering Clouds, Storm of War Fog of Battle, A Time for Iron... still a great sequence, and the definitive set up for the Rand of this book. Even the Chapter Headings are indicative.

Same with Egwene. tPoD was the start of her journey, though there is less set up for what she eventually becomes.

Rand and Roose Bolton... Shannow - 13/11/2009 02:02:11 PM 1270 Views
That is probably due to you having fought so many wars in Video Games, but not real ones. redhand - 13/11/2009 02:20:42 PM 664 Views

I loved Dark Rand. I agree, I wish he was around longer. Should've come out earlier in the series. Master Radishes - 13/11/2009 03:23:59 PM 680 Views

Reading about a saint is boring. Reading about an imperfect hero is exciting. Shannow - 13/11/2009 04:38:24 PM 583 Views
That's actually kind of shallow and limited Cannoli - 13/11/2009 05:07:55 PM 715 Views
Nice post. And I acknowledge that you're entitled to your opinion. Shannow - 13/11/2009 05:14:41 PM 721 Views
I don't read for morality either, but IMO, it makes a better story because it is tougher Cannoli - 14/11/2009 12:08:14 AM 609 Views

You're right. But I'm very angry with the writers for portraying Egwene in such a positive way. Shannow - 13/11/2009 07:18:10 PM 646 Views
Weren't you the one who wanted uncertainty and doubt? fionwe1987 - 13/11/2009 08:11:30 PM 610 Views

I do have to say, though, that I would have burst out laughing if he balefired Tuon and the Seanchan RugbyPlayingAshaman - 13/11/2009 10:25:30 PM 541 Views

You were shown as early as TDR that conquering someone doesn't mean they are going to follow you Onarishma - 14/11/2009 10:45:51 AM 787 Views
