Now that you have finished the book, you'll see a lot of the questions you had did get answered - such as what was up with Rand and the Whitecloaks in Baerlon, or how much the Lan-Nynaeve relationship did feature, even if the leap from "She really likes him and he likes her" to "it's a deep...

It is concrete, but one of the issues with the oaths is that if a person thinks something is true, they can say it, so if she was never told the link would fail in a stedding, she could say it. It's also possible that she was told that, but because it happens so rarely, just forgot. But I think...

Trollope was an autocorrect, but it amuses me so I’ll leave it. I’ll probably comment on your other observations when I can do so without spoilers

One thing I didn’t notice for many years was the description of the Trollope killed in the ways is very similar to what Lews Theron did to his family. Rand killing the Dark One, there are clues about what is going on there, Rand getting to Tarwins gap is just mysterious, the flashing blue lights...

Im going to have to check the timeline, but stedding really makes sense. Whatever Moiriane did to it, I don’t think she did with other coins she gave out, such as to Ewin, as Rand and Mat seemed much more reluctant to hand theirs over than he did. Which does raise the question - is the link just...

That was the stedding? That makes sense. I’d assumed it was taken by the whitecloaks and then given back because to keep it would be stealing.

Have you looked at the Chapter summaries in the library? We have tried hard to make them spoiler free (well, there are spoilers in the notes section, but they are hidden unless you expand). Some things are borderline - for example if something relates to a larger plotline, we would make a...

Thanks. I’ll put that in the notes section (the spoilers bit) of the chapter summary

I’m still. It sure if we saw Rand do anything that caused his odd behaviour/sickness on the Spray - the Baerlon incident with the Whitecloaks was from Healing Bela

I really disliked the flashbacks. Back when I first read it, I worked out the chronological order and wrote “go to page …” each time it jumped so I could read it properly. I thought it was really badly done

Yeah, it's because she can't sense saidar any more, but I think it is about 25 days that she has even known she could channel, so it does seem that even though she has only been channeling a few weeks, and that she has probably only held saidar a dozen or so times, it has become a fundamental...

It’s also interesting how Egwene doesn’t like the steddingu

There’s no real reason for a lot of the things Moiraie keeps secret, other than she likes knowing more than other people, even when telling them would actually help her.

I never really understood Perrin’s objections to the wolves. Sure, wolves occasionally take sheep, but in general, they avoid people unless really hungry. Maybe he thinks he’ll end up like Elias if he accepts them/it

I'm not sure when I started reading. I think it was 90-91, but it might have been a couple of years later. I've read EotW probably over 20 times and I still pick upon things I hadn't noticed previously

Partially I think. But she probably also feels a little guilty about having fun. While she wasn't a Wisdom who was expected to care for her people all the time, she did just lose her friends a couple of days before, and now she is dancing, partying and totally forgetting them.

It's amusing at first, but I hope this isn't too much of a spoiler, we get a lot of this from both of them, and even occasionally from Mat, though he is more aware of how easily he charms women, so doesn't think "Rand/Perrin would know what to to, they are so good with girls" anywhere near as...

Partially because she is very immature, but this is a common theme that runs through the series - People rejecting information they feel is inconvenient, or they just don't like, or people acting with total certainty on poor or even incorrect information. To an extent we also see it from...
