Remember, this is the end of a book, when all the Aiel society stuff does not come until the next book :look I don't know how long it was between those books, but he might not have thought out all the Aiel stuff yet...
After all, Robert Jordan was only human :look Which he proved when he died...
Yeah, I really wish Moiraine got more to do in aMoL... Yes, she saved the big meeting, and Rand trusted her enough to link with her, but in the Bore she just stood there...
And I really wish we could have seen the Moiraine-Siuan reunion :look
But that is still 11 books from now, so moving on...
Re: 2015 Re-Readalong: Dragon Reborn to the end!
Yeah, my first thought would have been channeling too :look
And I just love how Darlin starts this long monologue, and Mat just "Don't have time to listen to you, gotta go!" and Darlin is shocked :p
Re: 2015 Re-Readalong: Dragon Reborn to the end!
Yeah, it is kind of funny that Mat invents the bomb by setting off a lot of fireworks :look Especially considering his "dragons" later ^^
Re: 2015 Re-Readalong: Dragon Reborn 44-50
Yeah, I don't see Asmodean as the "take over a country" kind of guy... He is more in the shadows, which is why Lanfear could use him...
Re: 2015 Re-Readalong: Dragon Reborn 44-50
I think it is mentioned somewhere that Forsaken affect dreams because they can't be bothered to block it :look
Re: 2015 Re-Readalong: Dragon Reborn 44-50
Yes, I think that Faile believes in all the tales, she just didn't excpect to encounter them this far south...
As for Moiraine and balefire, I normally just use the old argument "Moiraine is awesome and knows stuff she needs to know" :cheese Which is...
Re: 2015 Re-Readalong: Dragon Reborn 44-50
Where does it say that Faile doesn't believe in Myrdraal? Doesn't she just not want to have that discussion with the innkeeper?
Re: 2015 Re-Readalong: Dragon Reborn 37-43
The Aiel gave the Avendesora sapling because the forefathers of the Cairhienin was the only people to offer them water freely. That made the Aiel have toh towards them.
This is all better explained in the next book...
And I think Rand is extra crazy...
Re: 2015 Re-Readalong: Dragon Reborn 23-29
I am actually thinking either Compulsion from a Forsaken or Padan Fain when it comes to Masema actually.. When we meet him again he mentions seeing visions of Rand clad in Light giving him orders...
Re: 2015 Re-Readalong: Dragon Reborn Prologue & 1
Well, that is the UK version. I believe that version is Ok as well, but then every book looks the same, only with a different colour on the wheel. Boring :p
Re: 2015 Re-Readalong: Dragon Reborn Prologue & 1
Imz, I hope that was the one with the red looking picture of Rand taking Callandor with Mat and Perrin (presumably, although that is not correct story-wise :shifty) watching?
If so, that one definitely has the Prologue :look
And if I remember...
Re: 2015 Re-Readalong: Dragon Reborn Prologue & 1
Well, parts of his plan may have worked if he hadn't entrusted them to Carridin and if not for Valda and the Seanchan :look
And while I enjoy reading about his misconceptions, they do get a bit old... The insistence that Rand is nothing but a...
