    That makes sense- Nial had said he wanted Rand to run free. We might see later if he has started to regeret that

    Chapter 25 Egwene is still lying about being an Aes Sedai, even when there is no need The Wise Ones learn that the Aes Sedai are looking for some information in the Palace library – Sorilea sends three to see if they can find the information first. Sometimes the Wise Ones are as ridiculous as...

    I always like it when there is some obscure reference I don't get, and it turns out not to be Wheel of Time Specific and is something in the real world!

    Chapter 16 Back to Rand - we seem to be switching about a lot here. I think this creates an illusion of pace Not many palace staff remained, but Norry seems unconcerned with who is in charge as long as he gets to do his job Abelle, Luan, Ellorian and Dyelin visit. They seem to have a lot more...

    But he is dissatisfied with Siuan because of what she did to Elayne and Egwene. I never got the impression there was ever any chance that he would support Elaida, or even his fellow Younglings over Egwene and Elayne. If Elayne had gone back to the Tower, then I could see some split loyalty, but...

    Just one chapter to start with Chapter 15 Egwene is not pleased about what happened with Gawyn in his dream, though at least she has the sense to know this is unreasonable She has a dream of alternate possible futures - bonding Gawyn or having him turn from her. We keep seeing this, but we never...

    Chapter 7 Animal- green striped song sparrow - is this a bird from our world? Elayne brushes her hair 100 times. I've heard of this in other contexts, but it seems excessive to me Elayne is getting better at copying ter'angreal, but still doesn't understand how they work Elayne and Nynaeve meet...

    A lot of talking in these chapters, but unlike FoH, it does feel like something is happening Chapter 1 Rand practicing the sword a lot. Don't really know what's going on here. TBasjhere really is too much chance one of them could accidentally kill him Bashere seems a little unstable. Is he...

    I sorted started the next few chapters. I really liked the arrival of Mazrim Taim, and how right from the start, Jordan laid out the idea that he might be Demandred in disguise, or that he would play a similar role as Demandred did - someone driven to join the Shadow basically because of...

    And the rest of the prologue. A lot happens here The girls have been learning from Moghedien and passing it off as their own discoveries, including becoming invisible, and listening to people. They have hidden some things, inverting, hiding ability to channel and disguising. Elayne has had some...

    So, because I am so excited, thoughts from Demandred's and Nynaeve's point of view in the prologue Just how many people are killed to produce swords? Demandred thinks he has never seen fewer than 50. Does he only come on sword making days? If there were always around that number, then that...

    Chapter 54 It seems Amys heard the rumours of Rand and Avienda sleeping together, but the other Wise Ones didn't The story seems to make a point of noting Pevin was with him Asmodean tells him that if he comes out to close, Rahvin will sense it - how close? When someone falls, where do they fall...

    Almost done with this book Chapter 51 Just what is in those pipes that gives them a blue smoke? Selande seems like a throwaway character, but we will see her again. She goes through a considerable amount of growth. He scares her off by talking about the Power. Later, she would still be...
