    2015 Re-Readalong: Eye of the World and The Great Hunt

    Re: 2015 Re-Readalong: TGH Chapters 45-50 I think Min's words were harsh, but at this stage I still was/am in Egwene-hating mode so I don't have much sympathy for her. :look She might have been feeling overly defensive too, having just been found in bed with him and then to have Egwene tell...

    2015 Re-Readalong: Eye of the World and The Great Hunt

    Re: 2015 Re-Readalong: TGH Chapters 45-50 @ Leira and Mai... I'm the opposite! I still remember getting to chapter 46 the very first time I read this and going "THIS is what I expected last book!" It was so thrilling to me to see the three boys each taking a role (Mat the trumpeter, Perrin...

    Re: 2015 Re-Readalong: TGH Chapters 38-44 These chapters make me realize I'm a horrible person. :$ I so hated Egwene the first time I read the books. I saw her as a naive tagalong and a bully (with Perrin in book 1), who didn't trust Rand (not believing he met Elayne) and generally thought...

    2015 Re-Readalong: Eye of the World and The Great Hunt

    Re: 2015 Re-Readalong: TGH Chapters 31-37 Getting up to date! Chapter 31 I like how everyone is thinking that "Lord Rand" fits now. Rand always grows into the role of being a leader so subtly that I don't even notice it until the moment he apologizes to Ingtar for taking control. Also liked...

    Re: 2015 Re-Readalong: TGH Chapters 31-37 Yeah if the Black Wind caught Fain and then fled, it makes sense that he'd be able to boss is around a little.

    2015 Re-Readalong: Eye of the World and The Great Hunt

    Re: 2015 Re-Readalong: TGH Chapters 31-37 I was wondering if the three of them revealed anything to each other at the party, or if any of them knew what the others was. We know Verin spoke to each of them privately, warning Hurin away from interrupting her with Barthanes and saying something...

    Re: 2015 Re-Readalong: TGH Chapters 31-37 Notes from last week... Chapter 24 Egwene meets everyone Rand has met! I love her realization that he wasn't making up stories about Elayne :lol Chapter 25 Thom is alive! :joy Also after everything that's happened to him, so impressive that Rand...

    Re: 2015 Re-Readalong: TGH Chapters 31-37 I bet there are a lot of Darkfriends that joined thinking they'd just get something cool out of it and never actually be called upon by a higher-up to do anything.

    Re: 2015 Re-Readalong: TGH Chapters 31-37 I had forgotten it was Verin and not Moiraine who's in Cairhien with everyone, so I was expecting my re-read of the scene with the two invitations to be more dramatic than it was, knowing that it was actually her family for one of them. :rolleyes I...

    2015 Re-Readalong: Eye of the World and The Great Hunt

    Re: 2015 Re-Readalong: TGH Chapters 17-23 Imz, I've always wondered about that. "The way back will come but once"...but it came TWICE! What does it mean, what does it mean? My notes from this week... Chapter 17: Rand using the Portal Stone just feels terrifying, after learning more about...

    Re: 2015 Re-Readalong: TGH Chapters 10-16 My guess is moving ahead but no one has been around to update the thread title yet.

    Re: 2015 Re-Readalong: TGH Chapters 10-16 Good question...I had assumed it was whenever he was "in the void", but now that you point it out I don't know why I would assume it to be that. :scratch

    Re: 2015 Re-Readalong: TGH Chapters 10-16 I'm getting slower about posting my comments...I still read just as fast, just laaaazy about posting. :giggle Chapter 10: I'm surprised Perrin isn't hiding. Several times he says something odd and stares at Hurin very blatantly. It's like he really...

    Re: 2015 Re-Readalong: TGH Chapters 10-16 I'm not sure but I think it was only like 2 years from start to finish. I'm sure someone will come along who knows! ^^

    Re: 2015 Re-Readalong: TGH Chapters 10-16 I was wondering if they were trying to convince him they were allies and trusted advisers who would help him but let him make his own decisions, because they want to have a lot of influence over him but knew if they tried to control him flat-out it...

    Re: 2015 Re-Readalong: TGH Chapters 2-9 Yes thanks Murun! I didn't know that either. ^^ Remaining chapters for this week... Chapter 6: This reads SO much differently knowing about Ingtar. Chapter 7: I feel like there are a lot of names here that I should pay attention to. Pretty sure...

    Re: 2015 Re-Readalong: TGH Chapters 2-9 I'm halfway through this week's readings. Chapter 2: I was wondering, why wait until NOW to replace all the boys' clothes? If she had done it sooner, they'd have just probably accepted it reluctantly and been fine. Doing it with the arrival of the...

    2015 Re-Readalong: Eye of the World and The Great Hunt

    Re: 2015 Re-Readalong: TGH Chapters 2-9 I was also wondering about those eyes. Maybe it has something to do with Fain always knowing where Rand is? Though I don't know why Rand would be able to sense Fain staring at him through layers of stone.

    2015 Re-Readalong: Eye of the World and The Great Hunt

    Re: 2015 Re-Readalong: EoTW, 49-53; TGH Pro & 1 The prologue of book two seems much more ominous to me now that I understand all of the places referenced. Dark friends really are EVERYWHERE. I got that impression the first time through of course, but knowing the geography better it just seems...
