Re: 2015 Re-Readalong: The Shadow Rising to the end! Plus Pro of FoH While I was reading it, I kept hearing Moiraine's voice (or what I imagine her voice to be) from the very first book, telling the story of Manetheren. Manetheren! Manetheren!

Re: 2015 Re-Readalong: The Shadow Rising to the end! Plus Pro of FoH The ending of this book kinda weirds me out now. Every group accomplishes great things, but in hindsight we can see how they're just stepping stones to the larger things that are coming. Instead of seeing these things as...

Re: 2015 Re-Readalong: The Shadow Rising Chapters 50-56 I'm wondering this too.

Re: 2015 Re-Readalong: The Shadow Rising Chapters 50-56 It seems like a single meeting or maybe two would be enough for both of those purposes, doncha think? Enough to say thanks, and enough to realize Aes Sedai were different than expected. I guess maybe if Eagenin could channel or was a...

Re: 2015 Re-Readalong: The Shadow Rising Chapters 43-49 I had forgotten how different she was! I like her character as it is now, but it also confuses me. Elayne and Nynaeve are hunting Black Ajah and they choose NOW to make new friends? How do they not realize she's Seanchan? And what is...

Re: 2015 Re-Readalong: The Shadow Rising Chapters 43-49 Faile actually isn't REALLY bothering me much yet. After the dumb thing with the Ways, I'm kinda liking her interactions with Perrin. So far. I just know it's going to get soooo bad eventually.

Re: 2015 Re-Readalong: The Shadow Rising Chapters 43-49 That's true...I think it bothered me less the first time I read, other than sounding warning bells, but now I dislike Faile so much that it just becomes another mark against her in my book. :giggle

Re: 2015 Re-Readalong: The Shadow Rising Chapters 43-49 I'm a little behind due to some craziness last week. Chapter 40: This is I think the only time I wished one of the boys had a title to use. Lord Luc is SO condescending, and every time someone said "LORD Luc" and "Perrin" (no title) in...

Re: 2015 Re-Readalong: The Shadow Rising Chapters 36-42 I was really surprised Egwene didn't confess to only being Accepted when Amys caught her. Aes Sedai can't lie! I also go back and forth on whether I think Amys made a mistake about making Egwene wear braids. It's humiliating to the...

Re: 2015 Re-Readalong: The Shadow Rising Chapters 36-42 I had the same thoughts as Aduiavas re: Trollocs and Moiraine's stone, and Maibella re: Fain, though I thought of the dagger as just kind of incidental compared to the urge to find Rand that was instilled (or distilled?) by the Dark One. ^^

Re: 2015 Re-Readalong: The Shadow Rising Chapters 36-42 Ooh, I hadn't though of it that way, Mother! When I imagine myself taking charge of people I know well versus people I've just met and consider to be "above me" in some way...yeah that makes a difference.

Re: 2015 Re-Readalong: The Shadow Rising Chapters 29-35 :lol Yeah totally just considering these chapters,not everything else that's coming.

Re: 2015 Re-Readalong: The Shadow Rising Chapters 29-35 So, Perrin's homecoming. I was so MAD about his family. Rand's the Dragon Reborn, Mat blows the bloody Horn of Valere, and Perrin...just has this thing with wolves. HE'S the only one of them that managed to come home. And yet HE'S the...

Re: 2015 Re-Readalong: The Shadow Rising Chapters 29-35 I wonder if that's always true, or something Birgitte was doing specifically for some reason.

Re: 2015 Re-Readalong: The Shadow Rising Chapters 22-28 I wonder if she really did send them, or if she was just taking advantage of his assumption that it was her.

Re: 2015 Re-Readalong: The Shadow Rising Chapters 22-28 I felt bad for Mat in these chapters, especially since no one understand that he literally could not leave Rand's side. Even when he struggles in front of Perrin to say the words and can't manage it, Perrin doesn't get it. At the Portal...

Re: 2015 Re-Readalong: The Shadow Rising Chapters 15-21 Chapter 21: Nice to see inside Moiraine's had! It's amusing how she is so convinced that Egwene must be heartbroken over Rand.

Re: 2015 Re-Readalong: The Shadow Rising Chapters 15-21 I feel like Elayne STILL hasn't put two and two together, that Jorin reminds her of Aviendha because they can both channel.

Re: 2015 Re-Readalong: The Shadow Rising Chapters 15-21 :look Anyway... Ryu, what you said earlier about "Bain and Chiad", I think of them the same way! :giggle I love the introduction of the Sea Folk this week and Elayne's handling of Jorin. Clearly not what Jorin expected. I like seeing our...

Re: 2015 Re-Readalong: The Shadow Rising Chapters 15-21 That's why I switched to the chapter-a-day method. :lol The cliffhangers aren't so bad when you only have to wait a day! Chapter 16: I wasn't looking forward to this chapter. The beginning of the Faile-hating Saga. Tricking Loial still...
