Re: 2015 Re-Readalong: TGH Chapters 45-50 From that description it sounds like a Grey Man. Which is why he was never caught even though the battlement he was on was crowded. People's eye would have just slid off him.

Re: 2015 Re-Readalong: TGH Chapters 45-50 I just finished it and yeah, it's like wait I thought it just started.

Re: 2015 Re-Readalong: TGH Chapters 38-44 So I guess the Seanchan wilders never have the issue of dying because they can'ts control the OP like they do in Randland. I wonder how their damane/sul'dam population compares to Randlands. and I just realized I've read too far so I can't comment...

Re: 2015 Re-Readalong: TGH Chapters 31-37 I always assumed it was Fain's doing.

Re: 2015 Re-Readalong: TGH Chapters 31-37 I never realized on my other read-throughs that Rand had darkfriends guiding him through this initial bit of his finding the OP :look Verin, Ignitar, and Barthanes. Although he did know Barthanes was a df from the beginning.

Re: 2015 Re-Readalong: TGH Chapters 31-37 When Rand returned from meeting Thom at the theater, he receives two invitations one from Barthanes Damodred. I believe this is the first time we here the family name. When do we hear the connection between Laman and Moiraine? I know we hear about...

Re: 2015 Re-Readalong: TGH Chapters 10-16 I wonder if this is true, how it would have affected his aversion to having women hurt, or has Jordan not brought this up yet?

Re: 2015 Re-Readalong: TGH Chapters 10-16 I think that this was Moiraine just hearing lots of rumors about TDO and the Forsaken messing about in Dreams and that her presence would help it. Which may or may not have been true. Aes Sedai were often working with half rumor half fact, remembrances...

Re: 2015 Re-Readalong: TGH Chapters 10-16 A few things that I noticed on this reread. They almost always refer to Suian as "The Amyrlin". Even Moiraine says Amylrlin in her head when she thinks of her. Is this just Tower training, Robert Jordan trying to subdue Siuan's personality until she...

Re: 2015 Re-Readalong: TGH Chapters 2-9 Wasn't that Patches O'Houlihan's technique? If you can dodge a wrench, you can dodge a ball!

Re: 2015 Re-Readalong: TGH Chapters 2-9 Oh, Oh, Oh! I found proof that Sheinarians are the Canadian Borderlanders. :look Also of note somewhere in chapter 4 I found at that it has been a month since the end of Eye of the World. So Randhas had several weeks worth of training under Lan. Not...

Re: 2015 Re-Readalong: EoTW, 49-53; TGH Pro & 1 Maybe one of the Forsaken tossed him in a stasis room :look

Re: 2015 Re-Readalong: EoTW, 49-53; TGH Pro & 1 ^ This, I can see how Skimming was used and the Balefire, but it just seemed an early version.

Re: 2015 Re-Readalong: EoTW, Chapter 42 - Chapter 48 Could they simply be some Warders of Aes Sedai who didn't go on the search? I do remember hearing stories later on where Aes Sedai would send their Warders on tasks away from them, especially Greens who had more than one. Also did Moiraine...

Re: 2015 Re-Readalong: EoTW, Chapter 35 - Chapter 41 :blink for some reason I thought we were going to 45..... whoops 7 chapters a week, not 9 :look

Re: 2015 Re-Readalong: EoTW, Chapter 35 - Chapter 41 It's sad reading about Aram in the books now after seeing what became of him. :/ I'm not sure if it was these chapters or the ones before, but to me the Tinker's search for the song was a metaphor that some later generations took literally...

Re: 2015 Re-Readalong: EoTW, Chapter 21 - Chapter 27 Elyas makes hints that he was a warder at one time. "I'm known as Elyas, Elyas Machera." This is similar to how phrases his introductions so that he's speaking no word that is not true.

Re: 2015 Re-Readalong: EoTW, Chapter 7 - Chapter 13 In the prologue to The Great Hunt, Bors is show images of the boys, and the later are the names he gives them. Right now, the boys have these weapons and use them. Just thinking how differently darkfriends and TDO itself considers the boys and...

Re: 2015 Re-Readalong: EoTW, Chapter 7 - Chapter 13 She discards it after burning a hole in the Waygate outside Fal Dara. Using it as a focal point for her weaves burned it and made it useless as anything.

Re: 2015 Re-Readalong: EoTW, Chapter 7 - Chapter 13 I've finished this weeks read already, I may take some time this week and skim for more tid-bits. Things to look for, how did the Wheel force Moiraine and lan to do things they hadn't planned or wanted to do, but had to because of unforeseen...
