Laurien Achaur
Aes Sedai
Alright, everyone, you know the drill by now! I'll try to be better at keeping up here during this read than I was for the last one.
Prologue: Fortress of the Light
- Light, I can't help but hate the Whitecloaks. I don't even have Geofram Bornhald to slightly appreciate anymore. Their refusal to dig any deeper for the actual truth and to see the different possibilities in a situation is utterly infuriating. Byar says he just knows things are Perrin's fault, and Niall just takes his word! How completely petty the man is.
- No surprise that Carridin is "Bors" from the previous book. His attitude matched.
Chapter 1: Waiting
- So we're back to being woolheaded about the wolves and Moiraine, Perrin? Come on...
- I was wondering if the Dark One could see what the ravens saw or if the ravens had to report, too. At least the answer is a relief!
- I recognize some of the dialogue between Leya and Perrin as being ported over to the conversation between him and Ila in the show. Nice to see it was retained in some fashion; it's a good moment.
- I love the description of the camp, and the fact that it's a tactically sound place to be.
Chapter 2: Saidin
- I'm very curious about what - or who - compels all these woman to seek Moiraine, and what news they all end up bringing.
- At first, I thought Min's ability was kind of neat. While I still think it's interesting, I feel for her, especially when I think of how much more death she's probably going to end up reading in people the close it comes to the Last Battle. What a burden.
- I also feel for Rand. Now he has all these followers looking at him in a completely different light. At least Perrin wants to remain his friend, and Min doesn't see him any differently. Along with Moiraine and Lan and Loial, at least he has a handful of people who have known him long enough to not look at him so differently. I'd want to go off by myself all the time, too.
