Re: 2015 Re-Readalong: The Shadow Rising to the end! Plus Pro of FoH I can't help but compare that chapter with the story of Manetheren that Moiraine told back in EoTW... How they just STOOD and never gave in until they were dead... And yes, it is a really powerful scene, and a stark contrast...

Re: 2015 Re-Readalong: The Shadow Rising to the end! Plus Pro of FoH But remember also that Rand and Asmodean together only used HALF the Power that Rand later wields when he cleanses the Taint. Then he uses both statues, here he and Asmo only share one of them... That, combined with the...

Re: 2015 Re-Readalong: The Shadow Rising Chapters 50-56 Birgitte is still tied to the Horn. She is killed in the last book, and comes back like 5 minutes later as a Hero again ^^ And then she is reborn so she will just be a few years younger than Gaidal. (Btw, having a Hero reborn so close to...

Re: 2015 Re-Readalong: The Shadow Rising Chapters 43-49 I think the pain that Nynaeve (and Egwene) feels when they touch the male a'dam is similar to the pain that male channelers feel when they touch the female version :look At least, that is how I have interpreted it...

Re: 2015 Re-Readalong: The Shadow Rising Chapters 36-42 No I don't think Niall knows about the Trollocs.. Remember, they were all sent there with Fain. He just wants to use the Whitecloaks to lure Rand back :look I do wonder though, in the beginning, Fain hunts all three ta'veren. But both...

Re: 2015 Re-Readalong: The Shadow Rising Chapters 36-42 I agree, I really enjoy this reread ^^ I love how this series just keeps on giving, even though I have reread it again and again :look

Re: 2015 Re-Readalong: The Shadow Rising Chapters 36-42 Those visions are one of the most intriguing parts of the books, and one of the main reasons that book 4 is one of my favourites ^^

Re: 2015 Re-Readalong: The Shadow Rising Chapters 29-35 Megana; yes, in a way it is more smoothly, but then he spends the next 9 books complaining about it :look

Re: 2015 Re-Readalong: The Shadow Rising Chapters 29-35 I have never thought about that before Mother, but of course you are right :blink[/COLOR]

Re: 2015 Re-Readalong: The Shadow Rising Chapters 22-28 Lanfear sent the other Trollocs :look She admits as much somewhere... They have orders to attack the original Trollocs to protect Lews Therin

Re: 2015 Re-Readalong: The Shadow Rising Chapters 22-28 I agree Cold ^^ "Too much like me" :p Although if she HAD "chosen" Mat instead of Perrin, these books would be very different :look

Re: 2015 Re-Readalong: The Shadow Rising Chapters 22-28 Yeah, a water oath is one of the most sacred oaths that an Aiel can speak. The Wise Ones made every Aiel that went over the Dragonwall (aka The spine of the world) swear that they would not fight other clans while they were there :look

Re: 2015 Re-Readalong: The Shadow Rising Chapters 15-21 I think what Ryu means Mother, is that a scene like that would have gotten stronger reactions if Tylin was the male and Mat the female... Just look at the reactions after this season of Game of Thrones :look

Re: 2015 Re-Readalong: The Shadow Rising Chapters 15-21 I don't think so, since the killer knew details about stuff in the Tower, and Liandrin was not in the Tower at that time... I think it was Alviarin... Or maybe Galina...

Re: 2015 Re-Readalong: The Shadow Rising Chapters 15-21 Ryu, I have never thought about the fact that attacking Illian is a bad idea, but I agree now that it makes total sense. I am not sure that Tear could win such a war, especially since Sammael is sure to use Shadowspawn as well... It does...

Re: 2015 Re-Readalong: The Shadow Rising Chapters 8-14 Well, one good thing about the scene in chapter 7 is that it is one of the few occasions where people try to cooperate, and help each other, instead of trying to get their own way of doing things through. And it is one of the few occasions...

Re: 2015 Re-Readalong: The Shadow Rising Chapters 8-14 So, the Tower one is #3, and the Shaido one is #111?

Re: 2015 Re-Readalong: The Shadow Rising Chapters 8-14 It does? That must be the one the Shaido has...

Re: 2015 Re-Readalong: The Shadow Rising Chapters 8-14 :( Well, so much for my theory. But it is still possible that the BA has another Oath Rod :look

Re: 2015 Re-Readalong: The Shadow Rising Chapters 8-14 I think the Oath Rods are what in the Age of Legends were called the Nine Rods of Dominion. :look But that is just my theory, not a fact. Maybe the Companion will answer this :ook
