Re: 2015 Re-Readalong: The Shadow Rising to the end! Plus Pro of FoH
This whole chapter makes me cry Every. Single. Time. Something about the way that evil comes to such a quiet, friendly place, and the way the people stand together against it just hits me right in the heart.

In regard to people not feeling the Power being used during the Rand/Asmo battle: wasn't that all saidin? In that case, the only ones who would feel it were male channelers. The male Forsaken would definitely have an idea of...

Maybe, but think about it from a more personal perspective ... Egeanin has been alone for all intents and purposes for quite a while now. And the girls have been pretty isolated as well. The way I see it, those few "necessary" meetings...

Why all the Faile hate?! :lol I mean, I KNOW why, but I often feel like I'm the only one who actually likes her. :P
Re: 2015 Re-Readalong: The Shadow Rising Chapters 43-49
In all fairness, I don't think there is any way she COULD have known. Even if Perrin really explained it to her fully (which I doubt he did) she was concerned about his health, and he really WAS very injured and needed sleep. I'd probably...

1) Aviendha did not read Elayne’s letters. She only knows about them because Egwene mentioned them. Egwene doesn’t know they are two contradictory letters either. The whole letter thing makes me want to :desk.
2) I thought Kadere was...

Here's how I understand Fain's vendetta:
The Dark One wasn't sure which of the 3 boys would be the Dragon Reborn so he distilled all 3 of their "essences" into Fain so he could track them. This resulted in Fain tortured searching, made...
Re: 2015 Re-Readalong: The Shadow Rising Chapters 36-42
I know I don't comment a ton but I'm REALLY enjoying this as well. I always love rereading this books anyway, but doing it with the group is adding a new dimension that I'm really enjoying. ^^
Re: 2015 Re-Readalong: The Shadow Rising Chapters 15-21
Beralain wanted Rand because she wanted to be close to power. When she realized how dangerous he truly was, she decided to go for someone else. She considered Mat for half a second but decided against him because he was too much like her...
Re: 2015 Re-Readalong: The Shadow Rising Chapters 8-14
Perhaps Verin's description of swearing the dark oaths could be taken to mean that there were things done during the ceremony in addition to swearing on the Oath Rod. In that case, simply "unswearing" on the Oath Rod wouldn't solve the...
Re: 2015 Re-Readalong: The Shadow Rising Chapters 1-7
(Mother you mentioned putting your reading on hold. Are we moving on to the next chapters? I, for one, am ready to start chapter 8.)
Re: 2015 Re-Readalong: The Shadow Rising Chapters 1-7
We see later that Verin's oath forbid her from speaking of the Black Ajah's plots until the moment of her death. But she could still Channel so the oath was still binding. I think it is safe to assume that for Channelers the dark oaths work...

Imzadi I think he's referring to what happened to his nephew, but that of course led to the situation with Morgase.
