:facepalm Of course! That's why it's so horrible: it's white lightning. :x
My theory: Once they took up spears, the Aiel couldn't be a part of any singing rituals that the Jenn may still have been performing. So they turned...

I knooooow. Oh god my favorite.
They all know they're going to die. They know that. And yet they all are there, the women are there just as they're needed, no one stops fighting, no one gives in. The Tinkers are ready to run...

Is the male a'dam maybe different enough from Seanchan a'dam that they don't make the connection? The necklace and bracelet rather than a cuff and collar?
Question answered: They make the connection...

Ryu pointed out that it was stupid to have the Coplins et al guarding the gate at the road, and them attacking Tinkers proves it. Tinkers! People! THEY MISTOOK PEOPLE FOR TROLLOCS. Bloody idiots who shouldn't be trusted with a...

If they intend it to be a weapon against Shadowspawn, and someone uses it in a way it's not intended, I think they're safe.
As for the loophole...yes, technically. If she can really convince herself that she's not making a ditch as a...

I don't know if Perrin understands the seriousness of the Wolf Dream. He's still learning it himself.
I'd forgotten how much I love these chapters with Perrin in the Two Rivers. The whole sequence ... I just love it.
Chapter 40
It took...

Chapter 35
Egwene totally lied about keeping her word. She's likely to blow her cover or instill mistrust in Aes Sedai.
I loved seeing Amys putting Egwene in her place.
I feel sorry for Aviendha having to spend every waking moment with...

And all of them would be so easy to leave behind. The doorway because it's big and awkward and heavy and who wants to keep hauling it, and the smaller ones because they're small.
Just... like... All these pieces. :lol
I'm so glad to be...
Re: 2015 Re-Readalong: The Shadow Rising Chapters 36-42
Well, the doorway and also the super angreal -- aren't the ones to use the giant statues in Rhuidean? Rand felt pulled to one when he was walking to the columns but thought something like "not right now" and resisted.
Re: 2015 Re-Readalong: The Shadow Rising Chapters 36-42
I got the impression Moiraine wasn't certain until she heard Melaine say that she had to go through the rings. I think maybe part of it is what she heard from the Aelfinn.
[/COLOR]Everything rests on them coming to the Waste. So crazy! If...

Bornhald is so blinded by confirmation bias. Trollocs burning farms = some people are Darkfriends. What about in the Borderlands? Trollocs are there all the time. Granted, there are Darkfriends everywhere, but just...

I'm within this week's reading. ^^
Chapter 26
The Tinkers broke off from Aiel to find the Song -- they abandoned the Aes Sedai, which is part of the reason today's Aiel disdain them.
When did the Aes Sedai join the Jenn -- It was after...
Re: 2015 Re-Readalong: The Shadow Rising Chapters 29-35
That's why I think she got info about Thom from the 'fins. Their answers are always true, so she'd be able to swear it without lying.
Re: 2015 Re-Readalong: The Shadow Rising Chapters 29-35
Huh. That's interesting. The 'finns would always see things, while Min's comes and goes. Hm. I like this theory.
Yeeeeep. They're so distraught by Mat's fury and by the place starting to fall apart around them that they basically panic...
Re: 2015 Re-Readalong: The Shadow Rising Chapters 29-35
I'm working really hard on catching up. I'm reading nothing but WoT everywhere but in bed before I sleep (it's hard to take notes lying down).
Chapter notes, then discussion.
Chapter 15
Obviously, the Fins have multiple rooms for...
