Thank you all for the welcomes, Ilverin, Melora, Chiema, Kethaana, Nymala, Leala, and Alexr! I very much intend on finding out just how fascinating the Damodred and Trakand storylines are! I will add popping into The Blue Cat Inn's beer tables to my list of destinations
Welcome to Tar Valon, Todd! I have it on good authority that drinks at the Blue Cat go on our lovely Mayor's tab, so when you get there order something ridiculous with an umbrella in it :halo
I think what brings me back to epic fantasies like LOTR and WoT is how rich, deep and timely they are. Every time I reread WoT, I notice new details and gain new meanings. I'm a very fast reader with a great memory, so its very refreshing to find a series I can read again and again without it being boring.
Thank you for the welcomes, Aintza ( a second welcome ), Maddie, Delara, Onis, Maibella, Ilsa, and Raina!
Maddie, I read in much the same manner, and in addition to picking up on perhaps previously skimmed details on subsequent readings, changes in my own perspectives that have occurred since a past reading also influence a different perception of the same writing.
Delara, if drinks are on the Mayor, then umbrellas aplenty there will be
Welcome to the community, Todd. It is good to have you. How are you finding the forums so far? Do you have any questions for us off the top of your head, or are you happy to explore at your own pace?
Thank you, Ixialdor and Luna! For now I am just looking through random Forums and figure I'll jump into some threads aside from this one when the mood strikes, but open to any suggestions, Luna.
