Thanks for the detailed reply and the map! When he wrote about the town growing, I definitely pictured much more than 300-500 refugees, considering it was enough to bother Elayne, but as you said, speculative, and I am not good at population count stuff.

I'm sorry, I do not know exactly where this should go, so I will ask it here. This may contain some minor spoilers. I am curious about the actual sizes of Edmond's field when the story started, and then how big it grew to become after all the Trolloc attacks and new people coming to it over the...

yes, it always is. I am constantly improving upon my own world. Thanks!

While we can see the possibility of foreshadowing through the earlier books, it really did feel VERY tossed in there last minute, and very Un-Jordan. It makes me wonder if that was something Jordan had not had time to finish and Brandon had to figure it out, thus the oddness. I know that when I...

Yes, and yes, that was what I meant. Following the logic. There were plenty of hints and beginnings to new things there were only briefly touched upon (not that I remember most of them)

Ah, yes, THIS was the other one I was trying to think of. There seemed like so many things that someone learned that never got passed around that could have changed everything. There were also things that weren't used as often as they should have that would have ended the battle much quicker...

Three years was something that definitely surprised me as well. With the way they kept talking about how they were all growing up and seeing the world, etc, I at least expected 5 years, if not more. What surprised me the most was probably the Sharans. I was wondering if we were going to get a...

That could be true. Some things aren't obvious right away, but considering most of AMoL was battle, there was not a whole lot of secret artifacts being shown. Unless, I missed it, which is entirely possible.

This is probably true. Alright... where do I sign up to learn to channel? :P

I want some historical stories, like from the Age of Legends, or later, like the times from Aviendha's visions. Even though I hated learning history in school, I tend to love elongated fantasy history. I was almost sure RJ was going to pull a tiny scene at the end that tied the WoT in with our...

Within the final book, AMoL, Jordan touched briefly on a few new weaves, some of which were surprising. It made me think that there was a ton more to weaving than he had already shown. It could have been made up for effect at the end of the story, but I really don't think so. With things like...

Yes, that whole thing felt really odd to me. The entire time it I was reading that part, I was like "this is out of place. since when do weaves have an opposite?" It felt totally NOT Jordan. There are a few times when Sanderson sticks out like a sore thumb in the books he wrote, and this is one...

Thanks again, all. I just finished AMoL, and omg, my head is spinning. Not many stories leave you dumbfounded. Exquisite was the word Thom used, but it was so much more than that. I will need a lot of time to let this wear off before I want to (or even could) read anything else. Hats off to...

Thanks everyone! :D

I see. Good to know. I guess I had better start poking around then.
