Yeah. The word flicker already implies that something is unsteady, so using it the way he did just conveyed this whole sense of precariousness sitting just beyond the edge of control. It did exactly what he wanted it to do.

I was wondering that about Lanfear, too, but I couldn't find any tells to speak of. There was the point where she asks for one of Rand's shirts to wear, and it suddenly seems to fit her in all the right ways after he looks away for just a second...but that seemed more aimed at him and his...

Alright, everyone. I have flown so far ahead of this thread during my slow days at work that I have now finished The Great Hunt! :lol Since I want to dive straight into The Dragon Reborn, I'm not going to go back to rehash every chapter from sixteen onward. Instead, I've got a bunch of general...

Chapter 14: Wolfbrother - So Mat isn't quite over it, even with Rand disappearing :rolleyes At least he shut up before making the situation worse. - Atta boy, Perrin. Make it good for something. - Young Bull. An interesting name the wolves have given Perrin. For his size and the curves of his...

I do remember Sliders! I almost named it, but the other two preceded it by a lot for me. And I think you're onto something with the Browns and Blues being a bit opposite - the Browns having their heads in their books while the Blues have their eyes on the world.

Chapter 12: Woven in the Pattern - I just noticed that the Red and Green Ajahs' attitudes about Warders are as directly opposite as their colors on the spectrum - by design, no doubt. - I really hope Lan and Nynaeve find their balance sooner or later. Preferably sooner. - Egwene wonders if not...

Oooo, yay! :ha

Chapter 10: The Hunt Begins - Well, at least Rand recognizes that Mat and Perrin acting the way they are is his own fault. But it's still getting ridiculous. - Here comes Uno's foul mouth that I keep hearing so much about :lol - I think the "something worse" Hurin keeps muttering about must be...

Chapter 9: Leavetakings - Of course Loial would be readily willing to forgive Rand when Rand apologizes :) Mat and Perrin, on the other hand, apparently can't hear over Rand's coat :rolleyes Not that Rand doesn't deserve some cold-shouldering, but the carrying on is a bit ridiculous (and...

Oh yes; I should've clarified. I meant "kill" in the figurative sense here (like wanting to "kill" my brother sometimes but not actually kill him) :lol But yeah, Nynaeve's revenge thing is really old at this point, especially in light of the feelings between her and Lan.

Chapter 8: The Dragon Reborn - Lan sure has drilled a lot into Rand over the course of a month. I like that he uses this to get Rand out of his own head for just long enough that the idea of running finally disappears. - Good grief. Leane is kind of incorrigible, isn't she? - I kind of want to...

So I've flown through...eighteen more chapters since the last time I posted, thanks to slow work days :blink I promise I'll get more posted soon! :lol

Chapter 3: Friends and Enemies - Rand's feeling of being watched really does seem like a touch of madness...but I'm not entirely sure I buy that. - Oh hey! I was wondering where Loial and the other boys were ^^ - ...Rand, what the actual hell? Your only solution to wanting to leave alone is to...

Oooo, that gave me chills, that you got to handle that sword. How cool! I agree that it makes the world feel all the more real. Perhaps it was meant to be funny and uncomfortable, which so many things can definitely be! Maybe Moiraine intended the cloak to be some kind of test, but I'm not...

It was slow at work yesterday and I ended up reading a few chapters in a row. So! Chapter 1: The Flame of Tar Valon - Rand and Lan doing shirtless sword-sparring atop a tower in Fal Dara? Did RJ even realize how much of a thirst trap he was writing? :lol To be fair, it's easier to picture with...

Here I go with Book Two, everyone! Thank you for coming along :D3 I may try something a little different this time and post a summary of my thoughts after I read through each chapter (which is what I'm going to do with the prologue right now) rather than a play by play, just to smooth out my own...
