That's hilarious
"something about it grabbed me" - really same. I think the world more than anything else - the texture of it, the names and language, the expansiveness & especially the whole Wheel/Pattern/Light/Power system. It's kind of rough around the edges like a lot of other media we end up becoming attached to - Les Miserables [aka extensive essays on parisian sewers and napoleon], Hamlet, The Maze Runner... and therefore it has PotentialI can't remember. I know books 5 and 6 weren't out, because I got book 5 when it came out in paperback and from Lord of Chaos onwards, when it came out in hardback (around the same day)
But something about it grabbed me. I remember reading it and at the end, felt that I had to know what came next (apparently some people had thought it might be a stand alone, but I never understood that, there were so many plots set up, and glimpses of what was to come, that this never felt like a possibility)
oh my god. <i>my thoughts exactly</i> {except moiraine, have always loved and admired her & don't understand why characters are so suspicious and hating toward her - clearly her intentions were always good} {also lan is cool ig} {he has a vibe} and Mat. because he actually likes the girls he flirts with. love him 😘The characters were annoying and one-dimensional and everyone just hated men and the men didn't know how to talk to women, or communicate at all for that matter
This makes Moiraine somewhat of an outlier, as many of the other Aes Sedai we meet in the books are less... benevolent. That sorta explains their suspiciousness towards her, plus of course the surrounding culture distrusts Aes Sedai in general (and not for entirely bad reasons.)don't understand why characters are so suspicious and hating toward her - clearly her intentions were always good
Trueee, true.. the other aes sedai are pretty nastyThis makes Moiraine somewhat of an outlier, as many of the other Aes Sedai we meet in the books are less... benevolent.
