I'm the same way. I was just as entranced with CoT as I was with the rest of the books in the series. It wasn't until I joined here and heard everyone talking about the slow pace that I even realized that there wasn't a ton of plot movement.
Maybe I'm just one of those people who think that...
@Ephrem Elpidius You had me humming the Indiana Beach theme song there for a second. :lol
And okay, I get the reservations, especially if you have past history with not loving something as much the second time around. For me, at least, it's almost better now than it was then because I have...
That's basically what it was like for me. I remembered the big events, of course, but I was consistently surprised by the smaller details I'd forgotten. I think it's easier to get through when it's been awhile, too. It's more fresh and new. I'm enjoying myself with this one.
How does your...
I'm going to have to look up Earlier: Ravens. I haven't read it and my book copies are uh... old. :lol
Right now, I'm currently stuck in the middle of Lord of Chaos, not because I'm not interested in reading faster, but because of life in general. There are still a ton of things I'm looking...
Okay, now that is something I agree with wholeheartedly. :lol
My biggest peeve with Nynaeve is how long she holds a grudge against Moiraine, especially long after knowing that leaving Emond's Field was the right choice. Which, of course, is caught up with her feelings for Lan and his bond and...
If anything, I think there's an element of comedy to most of the characters, particularly Nynaeve's hair tugging. I just can't see her or Elayne as only comic relief, though.
Same! Not a facebook group, but here. There was a lot of... distaste toward Perrin and Faile chapters in later books...
I'm only in Fires of Heaven but some of the changes in my perspective that I've noticed is that I agree with @Ilverin Matriam here. Nynaeve sounds like a brat and she's completely ridiculous (though I do appreciate her growth later). I am insanely irritated by how bossy the women are...
I'm sure I'll get annoyed at Faile all over again, later on. :look But for now, I think she and Perrin are adorable.
Although, like you said Jocasta, I definitely recognize some of the unhealthy things that she does. But I also recognize all the unhealthy things that both men and women do in...
Me too! I was expecting to feel the same about things this time through as I did before, but I just keep being annoyed at Moraine thinking she knows best. I've noticed Rand's... offness... sooner. Faile isn't so bad.
I'm currently on The Fires of Heaven, so we'll see what happens later on...
Anyone who knows WoT (all of us I hope) know this is a huge series. It's not for the faint of heart. So I did a reread in preparation for the release of A Memory of Light seven years ago and I haven't read the books since then.
During that seven year gap, I had two kids, got married, lost my...
