I found a discussion of the Oath Rod and fertility on Dragonmount, but I'm unconvinced that it's a contraceptive. Few Aes Sedai have children (quoted from CoT 10, but I don't know who's speaking or what the context is).
I would buy the argument that the blackberry bush is the Two Rivers. I just...
Chapter 13
Rand is feeling Alanna's outrage and shock. :lol
Dashiva/Osan'gar -- is he actually crazy, or just pretending?
D/O'g speaks and reads the Old Tongue like a scholar -- of course, since it's close to what he'd used before sealed away -- but his cover story is that he's a farmer...
Chapter 8
Perrin greatly underestimates Morgase's age.
Cha Faile = Faile's Talon
Alliandre tours Bethal daily to keep people's spirits up.
Selande leads Cha Faile.
Tallanvor doesn't trust Perrin, and Morgase is afraid of him.
Chapter 9
The Two Rivers men respond to Perrin looking after...
Ah, thank you al'Amar.
Chapter 6
Elayne notices the change of saidar -- as though she could pluck little bits out of hte air.
Nynaeve seriously needs to take leadership lessons from Alise.
Birgitte has nothing but confidence in Elayne
Even when Elayne thinks she can''t, Birgitte does...
I just realized the other day that I hadn't put any of my notes from POD in here. :facepalm
Prologue
Borderlanders
Ethenielle is being super careful in this meeting with Arafellan & Shienaran leaders -- she's heard of the Souther leader's disappearances and deaths.
If Tenobia has no heir, the...
I think the forcing thing was off screen. Or that's what I imagine Jordan would say if asked. :cheese
Also, I finally picked the book up again! :joy (I hadn't all month.) Right in the middle of Egwene scheming. It was a good place to start. :lol
Unfortunately, I've misplaced my notebook with...
Re: Re-Readalong: Path of Daggers Chapter 17-21
The issues with the Power relate to the Bowl of the Winds. It draws on both saidin and saidar, and it makes it go nutso in that area. (Companion confirms this.)
I think the gateway explosion was within the realm of normal for unweaving flows. It...
Re: Re-Readalong: Path of Daggers Chapter 4-7
:lol Possibly. I did finally start yesterday. :D And I forgot how sneaky Verin is, and how clever. She pieced together Compulsion through scraps of memory of people who'd had that weave beaten out of them when they came to the Tower!
And I think...
Re: Re-Readalong: Path of Daggers Chapter 4-7
I'm sorry everyone, the past couple of weeks have been rough on my reading. I keep procrastinating starting this one, even. :look Hopefully I'll be able to dive in at lunch today.
Welcome to book 8, Path of Daggers! Eight! Can you believe it.
As always, there are spoilers for the whole series, including the Companion (if that can be considered a book that can be spoiled). Talk about whatever, make crazy connections, and join me as I hate on Tylin and want to stab her. :D...
