I cannot overstate how much I dislike this immortality scene. Yes they are perfectly mortal, they could die through mortal means, none of the Aes Sedai of the AoL were immortal even with Healing. I think this could be true, but I suspect it is the first showing by The Lord of the Grave, and is...

So i'm enjoying the show so far and these are my thoughts: I really loved the arches and Nynaeves raising to the Accepted, I think they did a fantastic job with that. The actress is phenomenal, she's just a perfect Nynaeve for me. Elayne is very well cast, and seems to be a great foil for...

I think you are somewhat right. IIRC There is the speech where Hammar recounts how the greatest swordsman he ever trained was beaten by a farmer with a quarterstaff. The quarterstaff holds an obvious advantage over a sword. I think though, there is a scene where Matt slips slightly which is a...

I'm not keen on the changes to the Seanchan, I don't feel it is needed. I mean the collars are pretty bad - it also means there will be more changes coming because it limitsthe interactions between the Damane and Suldam. I think Jordan had that balance just perfect, and the Seanchan denying...

I agree on that - I liked the visual representation of the weaves (although I wish they were move Weave like if thats makes sense) but they did an absolutely terrible job of explaining why Male Channelers are terrifying (the fact that the Aes Sedai cannot see their weaves). From talking to...

Whatever it is I suspect it might not have any relation to our understanding of the One Power. Honestly their handling of the One Power has been (for me) mone of the worst aspects of the show. Heres hoping much of it was due to Covid and reshoots.

So I haven't read anything yet this year because I have been busy with work and swapping into a new job. However I decided to get my butt (or rather my hands and eyes) moving. So I am currently reading Olaf Stapledons: Odd John and Greg Bears: Forge of God Odd John is one of the SF...

This looks interesting. I am starting a new job in April and I don't know what the work stack will be like - for 6 months all I will be doing is product training and familiarisation. In the next couple of weeks I should know what the workload is like and time permitting I would love to be able...

Hello all, Hemingway was famous for winning a short story competition with: “For sale: baby shoes. Never worn.” In this thread please write your own short story, the story can be about anything, the only rule, you cannot use anymore or any less than 6 words. Have at it, lets see shorts!

Welcome Sindar! It is never too early to indoctrinate children into reading WoT! :)

I have tried desperately to get my children interested in books and literature. My eldest is just not interested at all, but I've been lucky in that my youngest loves reading, I'm trying to nurture it but its in competition with other, more rapid media types. I do think reducing everything to...

I think Tombs of Atuan is the second of the Quartet. I really enjoyed A Wizard of Earthsea as an adult but I think if I read this growing up it would have probably been one of my favourite books. I really love the language and poetry of Le Guins prose. I have a couple of other Le Guin books to...

Welcome. The series is definitely worth finishing. I think you will enjoy the Brandon Sanderson written ending to the series if you like BS writing. :)

I've not been here very long myself but Welcome!

Honestly this is absolutely on the nose! Bravo :love

I definitely agree regarding the Forsakens rating of their own ability. Moghediens cowardice is one of the reasons I wouldn't rank her above Lanfear. The moment she loses the uppetr hand she panics and that lack of emotional control is amplified in TAR. I've always had this inkling that Perrin...

In regards to the UK literature scene I think it would be remiss to overlook Malorie Blackman. Malorie Blackman Malorie Blackman is a British author with over 60 published works for children. Malorie broke a lot of fresh ground: Malorie was the first Black British Children's Laureate...
