Yeah, the Mat chapters are quite jarring in Gathering Storm. :blink

Ohh, misunderstood! I thought you were talking about his plan to balefire the Forsaken.

Except Rand is super paranoid and has decided that balefire is the only way to take out the Forsaken for good. He had his revelation that "Oh crap, the Dark One can just revive them unless they're erased from the Pattern!" so he's determined to balefire every Forsaken he finds... and even though...

Are we starting Towers of Midnight this week or taking a week off for people to catch up?

Chapter 47: -Rand hears Lews Therin talking about how the Choedan Kal were too powerful to use. -Tam! :D Excited to see Tam here, but the meeting is just so sad. :( -Rand speaks to Tam very formally, trying to create distance between them. “You have done great service, Tam al’Thor. By protecting...

Re: The Gathering Storm Re-Readalong: Chapters 40-46 Chapter 40: -Bryne learns just how much the Warder bond adds. He’s right; it would be amazing to have an army’s worth of soldiers with that power… though it would mean Bonding them to people and risking them and the Aes Sedai freaking out...

Re: The Gathering Storm Re-Readalong: Chapters 33-39 Chapter 27: -It’s Hinterstap time! -Mat can lose in games of chance, too, if it’s what he wants. -Mat does start to feel guilty for swindling the people of Hinderstap. Chapter 28: -The people in Hinerstap only attack people not animals...

Re: The Gathering Storm Re-Readalong: Chapters 33-39 Chapter 20: -They’re very relieved to see Hinderstap. :look -Mat misses Tuon and is really on edge because of it. Chapter 21: -Hopper gets so frustrated with Perrin that he forces him out of tel’aran’rhiod. :lol -Faile feels guilty for all...

Re: The Gathering Storm Re-Readalong: Chapters 6-12 Chapter 13: -Ok, is it just me or is it weird how good Gawyn is at fighting? I mean, I guess he was trained by Bryne, but it just gets weird how we know all these blademasters… and Gawyn isn’t just a blademaster, but is able to soundly and...

Re: The Gathering Storm Re-Readalong: Chapters 6-12 If I recall correctly, she does mention in the book that it's only really an issue because it was the absolute minimum necessary. Most Amyrlins are not raised with the minimum, so it wouldn't really invalidates past Amyrlins.

Re: The Gathering Storm Re-Readalong: Prologue - Ch 5 Chapter 6: -And the Novice and Brown quarters switch. As far as bubbles of evil go, the hallway ones are just weird. :scratch Chapter 7: -Awww, poor Daigian. :( -Nynaeve still think it was a mistake to encourage the Kin to stand up for...

Re: The Gathering Storm Re-Readalong: Prologue - Ch 5 Prologue: -It sounds like where Tylee’s from in Seanchan (Maram Kashor), there are palm trees, or something very similar. -Tylee realizes the importance of the Last Battle and doesn’t think they have time to be fighting the people here...
