Re: 2015 Re-Readalong: TGH Chapters 45-50 Oh, I hadn't considered that! That makes a lot of sense.

Re: 2015 Re-Readalong: TGH Chapters 45-50 Ok, thoughts on chapters 45-50: :joy Go damane! :joy -Before Ingtar dies, he talks about letting someone in to Fal Dara and that person shot the arrow at Rand/Siuan. Was it just a random darkfriend? :scratch :cry When Mat blows the horn, it says...

Re: 2015 Re-Readalong: TGH Chapters 45-50 Actually, I think it was Rand who refused healing: And yeah, it makes sense that Perrin couldn't escape being a wolfbrother in the other worlds. Although I guess we don't know exactly how it would've been if he'd never met Elyas. Presumably, he still...

Re: 2015 Re-Readalong: TGH Chapters 38-44 Another hint that they can channel. At least, it can be viewed as that. :facepalm :facepalm I hate how the Whitecloaks are going to use the existence of damane/sul'dam to further their hatred for Aes Sedai. I realize they don't really know who the...

Re: 2015 Re-Readalong: TGH Chapters 38-44 That's a good point. Maybe they quickly realized that there were a lot of people who couldn't channel who could be sul'dam after the Aes Sedai started making the a'dam for them. And then eventually the few people who had seen channelers acting as...

Re: 2015 Re-Readalong: TGH Chapters 31-37 Random thoughts in no particular order: -More hinting at Rand's ancestry: - Black Ajah everywhere! D: -It's frustrating knowing Liandrin's a darkfriend this time around... -Conversely, knowing about Verin makes it even more awesome reading about...

Re: 2015 Re-Readalong: TGH Chapters 31-37 Yeah, I'm not sure if the characters ever find out for sure, but I just figured it was Fain.

Re: 2015 Re-Readalong: TGH Chapters 31-37 I was wondering the same thing... is this ever explained? Chapter 24: -It's really crazy how much Rand affected people without realizing it! With Else going to the Tower because of her encounter with him and you hear of other instances of people he met...

Re: 2015 Re-Readalong: TGH Chapters 17-23 Yeah, I always wondered about them channeling the way back as well. I guess the Aes Sedai who use the ter'angreal don't really understand it. They found it and figured out what it did and so built this ceremony around it because it helps and gets a...

Re: 2015 Re-Readalong: TGH Chapters 17-23 I only had a few highlights for the reading this time. As you've all said, there's not too much to comment on. Good for you, Rand, you seem to have gotten over your thing about thin innkeepers. :lol :rofl I love how her main motivation to become Aes...

Re: 2015 Re-Readalong: TGH Chapters 17-23 Yeah, I think he believes he can channel, but it's a bit of a leap for him to go from 'I can channel' to 'I'm the Dragon Reborn.' There are false dragons who can channel, after all. So I'd think his first thought was "Damn, this really sucks. I'm...

Re: 2015 Re-Readalong: TGH Chapters 17-23 Yeah, it's super obvious she can channel. Even Rand thinks so, though her denial that she's Aes Sedai confuses him. Does he think she used the portal stone unconsciously in her sleep and doesn't know she can channel?? :scratch

Re: 2015 Re-Readalong: TGH Chapters 17-23 And he does ask Selene if she's Aes Sedai at least twice, so he obviously suspects something is up with her. Also totally unrelated, but I love your Reading is Magic sig, Ashlyn! :D

Re: 2015 Re-Readalong: TGH Chapters 10-16 General thoughts: I just figured that they only mentioned it when they could see the towers and lakes, but that Malkier itself was much bigger than that. That was just the one bit that hadn't gotten completely swallowed by the Blight. -I really like...

Re: 2015 Re-Readalong: TGH Chapters 10-16 Same! I suppose it wasn't that long ago, but I really only remember the major events. My main memories from the first half of TGH are just the boys walking with Uno. :lol So it's like reading everything all over again! :D It's fun that I can still get...

Re: 2015 Re-Readalong: TGH Chapters 10-16 Thoughts from last week: -We see Mat being lucky at dice! -Fain is really creepy. :blink Some fun foreshadowing here. :blink :blink Maybe it's just that it's been so long since I've read these early books that I'm more used to the Red Ajah as they...

Re: 2015 Re-Readalong: TGH Chapters 2-9 I was wondering about the eyes, too. The only conclusion I could come up with was paranoia on Rand's part.

Re: 2015 Re-Readalong: EoTW, 49-53; TGH Pro & 1 In the Great Hunt prologue. Bors is looking at the images of the three boys: Sooo... very light foreshadowing since he mentions three others places he could've gotten those light eyes, but I thought of it as such since he mentions Andor as a...

Re: 2015 Re-Readalong: EoTW, 49-53; TGH Pro & 1 This is a bit of a long post, since it's for the last 2 weeks' worth of reading. I was thinking the same thing while reading that. I loved the idea of half-heard phrases when it's nearby. So you don't hear the actual words until you're...

Re: 2015 Re-Readalong: EoTW, Chapter 42 - Chapter 48 Well, there were only 4 Aes Sedai and a dozen warders, right? (it was either a dozen or a half dozen... but I remember noting it was more than the number of Aes Sedai mentioned) Even if they Reds and don't have Warders, the Warders could...
