Ah, I'll have to look it up!

Huh. I wonder if there's a difference in someone else cutting you off vs cutting yourself off? Though I guess "burned out" has a different ring -- if you remove the ability completely, all the neural pathways to make you *able* to channel would be gone, where as stilling/gentling is a severing...

They warn them away from experimenting for good reason -- everyone's terrified of being burned out. A novice or Accepted flubbing an experiment could mean not only her stilling, but others around her as well. Now that there's a cure for stilling, maybe they'll be more open to experimentation.

Oh yeah! Fiiiiinally. Of course, she's still pregnant. :rolleyes But! At least she gets to eat normal food again.

So many plot lines were tied up in this book, and things started rolling toward the Last Battle. Faile and the Shaido and Perrin and Malden. Sevanna. (She's captured by the Seanchan, right?) Mat and Tuon are finally married. Loial and Erith are finally married. The remaining Shaido head back to...

Re: Knife of Dreams re-readalong: Chapters 24-27 I was cheering for Erith. ^^ And I agree, this is the book where things are getting wrapped up and we move on with the story past these roadblocks. That's why I couldn't put it down and finished it. :lol

Re: Knife of Dreams re-readalong: Chapters 19-23 Oof. There's an awful thought: A Tinker channeler being broken to damane. Not only to the leash but to being a weapon and doing -- or receiving, if she doesn't obey -- violence. *shudder*

Re: Knife of Dreams re-readalong: Chapters 19-23 I may have finished the book. :look I also got teary eyed when the Ogier took up axes to fight, and then when the mother and wife had weapons at the ready to defend at the stairwell. (Just got chills thinking of it again.) And when the cry...

Re: Knife of Dreams re-readalong: Chapters 8-12 Oh! And I had a thought. Did we see wardings on food and supplies not working before saidin was cleansed? I think we did. But if not, what if the wardings go bad because of the cleansing, because ALL of saidin was filtered through saidar, and...

Re: Knife of Dreams re-readalong: Chapters 8-12 I hate Nicola. :| I love Egwene's reaction to Silviana in the prologue when Silviana says she's not hysterical. "Would it do any good?" :lol Ch 1: Lelaine is now posturing to make herself Amyrlin should Egwene die or be stilled. :rolleyes

Re: Knife of Dreams re-readalong Yeeeeees Oberon. 100% recommend Iron Druid to anyone who needs a fun palate cleanser. :D (Oberon is the dog. Just for clarity.)

Re: Knife of Dreams re-readalong I'm ridiculously behind. :(

It will surprise no one that I'm running behind. :look Take this week off, and I'll get the chapters posted this week. I also plan on getting the breakdown of all the remaining books so the end of a book won't surprise me. 10/9: Prologue 10/16: 1-7 10/23: 8-12 10/30: 13-18 11/6: 19-23 11/13...
