Re: 2015 Re-Readalong: The Fires of Heaven TO THE END Still imbalanced, though. Women can be soldiers and hunters and still raise children and be married. Particularly be married. I know! She's awesome, and she's catching so many things on her first read that I didn't catch, ever. :lol Zadi...

Re: 2015 Re-Readalong: The Fires of Heaven TO THE END I agree, it was a misinterpretation, and a forgetting of how things are. Aes Sedai have been afraid of men who can channel for so long, and have been culling them, that they haven't studied them, and so much knowledge from the Age of Legends...

Re: 2015 Re-Readalong: The Fires of Heaven TO THE END Chapter 49, continued Elayne and Nynaeve never consider they might get in trouble at Salidar. Chapter 50 The Salidarians are already looking at Egwene for Amyrlin. Suian's been doing her job. Three seals still hold. If Faolain had...

Re: 2015 Re-Readalong: The Fires of Heaven TO THE END I'd forgotten he was a Darkfriend. :cheese

Re: 2015 Re-Readalong: The Fires of Heaven TO THE END :lol True.

Re: 2015 Re-Readalong: The Fires of Heaven TO THE END Arrogance masked as bravery? He's willing to jump in and fight, he's just also an idiot.

Re: 2015 Re-Readalong: The Fires of Heaven TO THE END Straight notes today, and hopefully I'll get to comment on everyone's tomorrow. Chapter 40 The Whitecloaks know of Salidar. Galad means to send Elayne and Nynaeve to Caemlyn. Chapter 41 Weiramon is brave, but stupid and unwilling to...

Re: 2015 Re-Readalong: The Fires of Heaven Chapters 50-54 That's usually the color authors mean when they say not made in nature. :lol Jordan was a product of his times, it seems. :lol

Re: 2015 Re-Readalong: The Fires of Heaven Chapters 50-54 I thought her hair was bright bright brassy red. :blink Cuz I always pictured her with dark brown or black hair to begin with.

Re: 2015 Re-Readalong: The Fires of Heaven Chapters 38-44 There could be an equal and opposite far too long winter in Seanchan. Chapter 36 It's funny that Elayne becomes set on becoming Green because she wants more than one Warder. As if custom can't be changed. Underestimation happens again...

Re: 2015 Re-Readalong: The Fires of Heaven Chapters 38-44 But Seanchan could also be a giant continent that stretches across the equator and down into a southern hemisphere, as illustrated here. (No idea where the image comes from, but possibly the Big White Book? I can check.)

Re: 2015 Re-Readalong: The Fires of Heaven Chapters 38-44 Interesting. I hadn't thought of this explanation. We don't know for sure that this is abnormal weather for (this part of) Seanchan, which is why I thought maybe they were in the Southern Hemisphere where it would be winter as compared...

Re: 2015 Re-Readalong: The Fires of Heaven Chapters 38-44 Chapter 29 Did Melindhra send the note to Kadere? Kadere didn't know that Keille was Lanfear. He also doesn't know Natael is Asmodean. The Maidens broke Isendre and for that Kadere kills her. Chapter 30 Why is Moiraine so desperate to...

Re: 2015 Re-Readalong: The Fires of Heaven Chapters 30-37 I believe so. Later (chapter 34, I think, where Birgitte takes Nynaeve to spy on the Forsaken), the Forsaken are talking about how the actions taken would set Rand at Sam's throat, and Sam was worried, but the others were like, "Uh...

Re: 2015 Re-Readalong: The Fires of Heaven Chapters 30-37 :joy

Re: 2015 Re-Readalong: The Fires of Heaven Chapters 30-37 Chapter 26 Logaine was destined for glory such as few men had dreamed of. "Min did not think there was anything else for Suian." The White Tower and the Dragon Reborn were the whole of Suian's life, and she would hold to them even if she...

Re: 2015 Re-Readalong: The Fires of Heaven Chapters 30-37 Chapter 19 Ore and metal are more profitable than tabac and wool, so Morgase (and previous rulers) chose to concentrate on keeping the mountains in the realm rather than the Two Rivers. Even if they (Rand, Morgase, et al) explained...

Re: 2015 Re-Readalong: The Fires of Heaven Chapters 30-37 Whether Rand claimed it the throne or not, it would still look like he was giving her the throne, as though Elayne doesn't have the strength or the legitimate claim to it herself. Had, say, Moiraine done the same thing, it could have...

Re: 2015 Re-Readalong: The Fires of Heaven Chapters 30-37 Chapter 15 Here's where we first see the stole without the Blue stripe. Nynaeve has no idea that Elaida is the Amyrlin. Egwene is coming into her confidence and power. Egwene has learned the power of a calm presence and quiet voice...

Re: 2015 Re-Readalong: The Fires of Heaven Chapters 21-29 I am behind yet again (shocking, I know). I'm still reading and keeping up with the conversation here; it's just been a rough few weeks for me personally, and I haven't had as much time for close reading as I'd like. And I'm on LOA till...
