How weird! Some covers it make it very clear that the either the artist wasn't given an overview, or the publisher was looking for the cheap option :lol

Well, since Moiraine said she created a bond with them via the coins, that would definitely make it a thing of the One Power, which implies that it wouldn't work in a stedding. So either explanation is possible...and perhaps we'll never truly know which it was! :lol

You're right, it's eerily close to what Lews Therin did. Given that the Ways were made by saidin, I think it makes sense that they might meet that sort of end, perhaps because of Machin Shin or even just the rotting of the Ways as the darkness took further hold.

I'm not sure how I completely missed the reveal that Elyas was a Warder!! No wonder he reminded me of Lan at times. I certainly don't blame him for escaping the Tower after what the Red Ajah tried to do.

From Chapter 21: Listen to the Wind - Moiraine: "I gave each of the boys a token. It created a bond of sorts between them and me. So long as they are alive and have these coins in their possession, I will be able to find them." A more concrete answer. Clearly I'm going to have to read these...

Waaaaait, wait, wait. Going back through chapters to update the Clothing Reference, I came across mention of a blue flash when Lan and the Mydraal crossed blades outside of Baerlon. I'm now guessing the blue flash is caused by the black blade clashing with something that can resist it...but if...

Aaaaand I've finished! There was a lot of stuff packed into that last handful of chapters. Weird stuff. Even with hints of channeling from Rand having been built up, his manifestation of the Dragon's abilities seemed pretty sudden. There are so many unanswered questions and things I only have...

Chapter 51: Against the Shadow - ...It's Rand's first dream. Craaaap. - What is this that Rand is seeing? Aginor's thread in the Pattern? His tie to saidin? He does scream about it being his... - Did Rand just Travel? Whaaaat is going on exactly? - He's in Tarwin's Gap! His power as the Dragon...

Stuff is happening and I need to see how it ends! :lol

Chapter 49: The Dark One Stirs - Talk about the bad thing, and of course the bad thing happens... - Nice shot, Mat! - Yeesh. Blades and fireballs and flailing trees and gibbering creatures - it's the most chaos yet! - I really don't want to see what Worms are... - Ah. Guess I won't have to! -...

Chapter 47: More Tales of the Wheel - Lan's story in full, at last. At least to a point; I'm looking forward to seeing how he met Moiraine and became her Warder, too. I really hope it isn't true that he's truly the last of the Malkieri. - Oh, Light. I can't bring myself to actually feel bad for...

Chapter 46: Fal Dara - The suddenly abandoned farms are just eerie...and so is Perrin's wolf-vision, a little bit :lol - Clear Far Eastern influence for the culture of Fal Dara, which the show portrayed well, if I remember correctly. (There's a rewatch coming!) - I think it's sad that Fal Dara...

Chapter 45: What Follows In Shadow - Yeah...best not to think too hard about the way things work in the Ways, I'd say. It's liking thinking too hard about how infinitesimally small we are in relation to the size of the universe as a whole - headache-inducing at best. - Oh, to always have the...

That is gorgeous <3

Thank you, Chiema! And yes, I intend to keep this going through my entire read of the series :D3

Chapter 44: Dark Along the Ways - I'm trying to figure out if Perrin's resigned-ness has to do with just giving up trying to fight the pull of the Pattern, trauma from what Byar did to him, or both. - I've hiked miles in the kind of darkness they're navigating before, where everything just...

That makes a lot of sense! Thank you, Leala Sedai!

Chapter 43: Decisions and Apparitions - Loial's story of the Ways, how they were made, and why they went dark and became infested by Machin Shin is just so sad. They sound like they were incredible. I wonder if the male Aes Sedai knew the corruption would happen eventually, or if they believed...

Chapter 42: Remembrance of Dreams - Oh, yes. Meet Loial, everyone! He makes everything better :D3 - I'm very curious to know just how long Ogier live now. - Yay for Mat being better, but... wow. Moiraine couldn't completely free him even using the angreal? That's insidious stuff, Mashadar. -...

Chapter 41: Old Friends and New Threats - I love the image of big, intimidating Lamgwin just sitting there outside the inn, petting the cat and watching for faces to bust :giggle - Hopefully Rand will realize at some point that family isn't necessarily about blood. - Goooood. The whole inn...
