I must say after all the crap i heard about this book of the series, i was surprised to find it not as bad as i imagined… it was much shorter than the rest so far, and definitely more of a setting up for the last third of the series and the finale… but am i right to say i aint see my boy matty c at all this book? i thought id at least get some sort of tiny piece of his chapter at the very end but i guess not…

well anyway to the theories…

First the forsaken…
totally might of just spoiled myself when i went to the wiki and got a list of the forsaken and Mazim Taim's name is on the bloody list.

i find it very hard to believe that Sammael, Lanfear, Asmodean, and Ishmael are dead at all… if i don't see a body i can't believe it… Rhavin and Ba'lal definitely are dead, Rhavin burned out of the pattern completely

i could understand why Asmodean would be killed by another member of the forsaken family, i just wish i knew who… Probably Demandred, Messana, Semiraghe, or Ishmael…

Sammael had way to much build up just to take the battle to shader logath for no other reason but to be eaten by the killer fog, also was that mordin who came to save rand?

Lanfear and Moraine is the most ridiculous to me considering all they did was fall through the portal that Mat went through with the fox people… how is that include them dying? obviously there could be a way back…also did i miss what was up with this portal and the one that was in the stone of tear?

Ishmael is who i have my money on to be playing everyone and their mother out in this world. i think he is Mordin. i Also think he was never even put into the bore with the rest of the forsaken, I'm assuming that means he's the asshole at the beginning of the first book with Lews Therin Kinslayer… which i definitely should go back in read after I'm done typing this essay up… "Ishamael always thought he was smarter than everyone else"

Aginor and balthamel are definitely OSengar and Arangar considering they were completely wasted in the first book.

i find it hard to believe that one of the forsaken are not even a thought in Rand's mind to have something to do with the Seachean… Personally my money is on Demandred or Semrihage considering we don't know where their takin their power at. Or sammael and ishamael if they are alive like i think…

Also this larger than life half man i can't remember his name right now but he is super interesting. Also the trollocs chanted his name when they attacked edmonds field. Verin found it very interesting indeed.

------------------
SHAIDO
Seavanna and her shaido are scattered throughout the west… she's probably my most annoying female enemy character. Her whole idea of trying to marry the Car'a'carn is retarded. Also all these oaths Galina is being sworn to swear is probably gone kill her when they cause some sorta overlapping on what she is SWORN to do… she has Faile, Morgase, the queen alliandre… that might make this storyline a tiny bit juicy with a bunch of nobles being forced into Gai'shan with a black/red ajah being controlled by IMO a soon to be broken shaido wise ones group…Seavanna will probably wind up getting her way unfortunately…

Shadar Logath
Padain fain… ugh… worst male enemy character. SO annoying and he just keeps popping up just to annoy rand in the tiniest and most annoying ways possible… id hit him with balefire as soon as i saw him. i have no idea what he's up to or all this mystery between him being some sorta combo between mordeth and padin and some sorta shadowspawn.. i don't understand it and its all really foggy to me…

The Cairhein/Tear Rebels
Obviously Rand is gone make the High Lord Darlin King of Tear and he'll wife up the Lady Demodred… But Weirmon, Alil, Ananyella need to die. One of those girls had what looked like the dagger from shader logath of course…… and weirmon is just an idiot if he's not involved and hardly fights but he's up to something. The two ladies definitely would have killed him..

THe Black Tower
Dashiva let me down mannnnnn…. shit cut me deep when i found out he was involved in the ending. I wonder why they did what they did, it said it had to do with the battle… were they unhappy about what happened with Calandor, or with ran ignoring the weirdness of Saidan…he is a super interesting character though still… Taim though seemed very shocked by his deserting… and he almost didn't wanna give him up to Rand. also LOGAIN hahahaha i died when i find out he's over here Bonding Aes Sedei to him like warders… so funny. He's one of my favorites i still hardly know anything about….

The Seanchan
Suroth is a darkfriend…. that was proven when her and liandrin hooked up in book 2? So she's obviously having help in her takeover of Randland. I guess when they say Rand will split the world in two it'll be have Seanchan and half dragon lands? maybe? also are the Raks dragons?????

The White Tower
i Do like Alvarian even though she's a dark friend… she's a very interesting character…. i can't stand Eladias ass though she's so dumb and temperamental. i hope Seaine and Pevara(sp?) do get far in their quests for black ajahs, even though they just stumbled upon the plants from the little tower… which won't matter considering…

Whitecloaks
Galad a whitecloak was no surprise but Niall's death so soon was. They have a huge part to play yet, i just wonder where their forces are in Ghealdan/Altara/Amadacia considering the Seanchan are all over the place. Valda is the worst…. i can't wait for him to bite it… also happy to see Carrdin and Faolin enjoying his brandy in Camelyn at the end of Daggers
-----------------
Egwene
My favorite lead female. I think her and Rand's parallels are incredible especially considering their relationship in the beginning. Things will definitely work out for her once she finally secures the white tower after the siege we will soon see.

Nynave and Elayne
THey are the worst. Stubborn bitchy and wrong most of the time. Nice to see them finally getting respect from the rest of the Arrogant Aes Sedei though. The arrogance of all these females plus the sea folk and the kin is such an obnoxious pickle. THey are so stubborn and all think their better than everyone else and they need spankings. I love whoever's dream it was who saw the two them talking and ruining everything lol. they treat mat, julian, and thom like crap and it bothers me. Aviendha and Briggrite are the shit though. they make those chapters bearable, sometimes elayne when she lowers her chin. and Nynave is just a walking punchline to me… i don't know what Lan sees in her, considering she only wanted him because he was Moraines…..

Mat
Obviously will marry the Seanchan heir somehow. He's my favorite lead character. not much to say right now besides the fact that he's hilarious.

Perrin
Guess he's gona grab Masema and head back to Rand…which is a dumb idea. Im assuming Masema is stalling for a rescue attempt or something. Berlain is gone be all over him now that Faile is outt of the picture. Maybe her news will change the groups plans.. I like how Balwer was able to stay a character he's very interesting. I guess he might go on a rescue mission with Tallavor to get their loves back. Nice to see Elyas back he was a great character. Also i love where Aram has wound up character wise. He's so bloodthirsty..

Rand
Love him and Min together. She's my favorite. I'm assuming the borderlanders will come into play this book. i wonder if they'll make it to him or elayne. Him and Cadsuane could be a very powerful combo, I'm hoping he doesn't screw it up and that she doesn't turn out to be a dark friend even though i very much so doubt it. He needs an Aes Sedei advisor like her. Hopefully soon we find out who killed his smart buddy from the school. I Really think he does hear Lews Therin in his head and its not just his madness. I hope he finds a way to get rid of the taint from sadin.

Loial

WHERE DID HE GO!!!!!!!??????

------------------------------

Right now I'm thinking the book will end the same way the age of legends kinda ended except with new forsaken and another breaking

i think for now thats all i have… i have some of the dream and foretelling pages saved so I'm going to go back and look them over and see if i can add some stufff...
