Halima is killing Cabriana Mercedes' friends ... Semirhage interrogated (distilled) Cabriana in an earlier book. So Halima is killing any Aes Sedai who poses a thread to exposing her cover. As to Rand's meeting arranged by a darkfriend, do you mean Suroth or another darkfriend?

Yes; but that happened in AMoL. It didn't happen in CoT, if that's what you meant.

We see Perrin at his worst ... and he was truly broken ... If any of these "smart" forsaken had presented him with Faile; he would have been tied to the shadow for sure. But away from speculation, the facts are that Perrin was downright stupid in his Faile rescue, from start to end. He missed...

Re: Re-Readalong: Crossroads of Twilight, Chapters 24-28 Turning the harbor chains into cuendillar would have closed the harbors and prevented the lowering of the chains to allow ships. And the one power would not have been a solution to that problem since cuendillar cannot be broken by the...

Re: Re-Readalong: Crossroads of Twilight, Chapters 19-23 Perrin wasn't thinking (period). He was unhinged; and admitted later that he would have done anything for Faile, including total neglect of duties towards the last battle and saving humanity from the DO. He spent his scouts' energy in a...

Re: Re-Readalong: Crossroads of Twilight, Chapters 19-23 Regarding the Faile rescue shortcut ... RJ's prophecy ... "When the left hand strays and the right hand stays." Perrin strayed and Mat was held (injured) in Ebou Dar. RJ made it look like the useless Faile plotline is a fulfillment of a...

Re: Re-Readalong: Crossroads of Twilight, Chapters 19-23 Siuan was Aes Sedai for 10 years before being chosen Amyrlin. She was the youngest Amyrlin in history at the time (Egwene took that honor from her later). And Siuan ruled as Amyrlin for 10 years before Elaida's black-Ajah-manipulated...

Re: Re-Readalong: Crossroads of Twilight, Chapters 15-18 Thanks for the updates Kassina Sedai. Referring to Chapter 12 note on Gateways and Arymilla's siege, I don't know why Elayne didn't break it sooner. Guybon used a gateway to bring about 10000 troops to Caemlyn. Arymilla's siege was split...

Re: Re-Readalong: Crossroads of Twilight, Chapters 15-18 I think Selucia was in a helpless situation. She wasn't sure that Mat and co would not kill Tuon if she raised the alarm. So, she chose to keep her alive and go along with the kidnappers. That was in the moment of the abduction...

Re: Re-Readalong: Crossroads of Twilight, Chapters 15-18 Crossroads of Twilight and Knife of Dreams for me are: - Read Mat, Rand, and Egwene - Ignore Elayne, Perrin, and Faile

Re: Re-Readalong: Crossroads of Twilight, Chapters 10-14 The attacks on Dobraine and Bashere's tent were most probably by Taim to steal the remaining seals. Bashere's meeting was probably with one of Logain's men or Logain himself.

Re: Re-Readalong: Crossroads of Twilight, Chapters 5-9 For me ... Crossroads of Twilight (book 10) served the purpose of making Knives of Dreams (book 11) more awesome; and 11 is awesome on its own! ... It was RJ's redemption; and he sadly didn't live enough to continue that awesome ending to...

Re: Re-Readalong: Crossroads of Twilight, Prologue Sorry :) I understood your statement as saying that "we don't get 'another' Logain PoV till the Last Battle." Thanks for the clarification :bow

Re: Re-Readalong: Crossroads of Twilight, Prologue True :) I missed the Crossroads of Twilight Logain PoV. Are you referring to Tovaine's ride from her house to Logain's hut and her opinion of Gabrelle's nocturnal activities with Logain? Or to something else?

Re: Re-Readalong: Crossroads of Twilight, Prologue Knife of Dreams, chapter 22 "To Make an Anchor Weep": Logain meets Zaida and the clan wave-mistresses of the Atha'an Miere; I like how he handles the whole encounter with these ladies; and his last line is chillingly awesome: "mourn if you...

Re: Re-Readalong: Crossroads of Twilight, to start August 7 That was RJ's way of synchronizing the plot timeline for us. As tedious as it was, it gives a clear and definitive time-sync :) ; which is something that was needed after 9 books and two decades of writing ;)

Re: Re-Readalong: Crossroads of Twilight, to start August 7 Skip the Faile arc and read the Mat parts; it becomes one of the better ones with that :)
