    What is your favorite book?

    For me, it's The Shadow Rising. With the slow build of Rand's plot arc, and the interspersed action of the two rivers campaign, it's one of the more action packed books with a lot of strategy and tactics.

    Under utilization of the Power?

    I think a common theme among the best fantasy series is a lack of reliance on magic. (oh the irony!) Take Superman for example. It's hard to write a compelling plot when you can super power / magic your way out of nearly every situation (hence the introduction of kryptonite) or in Tolkien's...

    Post-AMoL Theories/Predictions/Headcanons?

    I've got a few, which may or may not be original. With the Seanchan empire focused on reclaiming Seandar, there's plenty of opportunity for Matt / Fortuona / Min to have further adventures in the battle / political intrigue.

    (1-13) Favorite random minor characters for no good reason

    Narg. A good villainous introduction, primal cunning, and a great introduction into just how human-like trollocs can be.

    A little more about me, in this fandom context: Q: Who is your favorite character in The Wheel of Time and why? A: Probably Thom Merrlin, for the exposition opportunities, complex backstory, and implied long term arc. Q: How did you find TarValon.Net? A: Some internet searching around 2010...
