Hi

[Aila sa’Olghan]

I haven’t really thought about WOT in such a long time, it feels like another lifetime. So I guess you could say I’m old to WOT, but also new since I didn’t finish it.

I do believe at one point someone told me about this place, I saw the first season of the show, and I think I read to book six.

I didn’t have one favorite character, it kept changing between Perrin, Lan and sometimes Matt, but I remember I had this huge dislike for Nynaeve. And yet if I took the books up again today, I think Nynaeve would probably be my favorite character.

Let’s start there and see where this path, or should I say thread, leads us.

great intro

Welcome Aila! I am excited to see what you think of the books if you pick them up again! And also, I am excited to see what you think of the end once you get there!

Did you like the show? Did you watch Season 2?

Welcome, welcome, welcome! It's is fantastic to see this thread. A wonderful member @Dianna Melear has rallied a bunch of us into a re-read...you should join us. Yes, you should join us!! I'm only on Chapter 15 of EoTW (Book 1). We seem to be going pretty slow and are just sharing random thoughts. Come be random with us!!

Here the link to our Re-Read...

Thank you. We’ll see, I don’t know if I remember enough to just pick up where I left off.

Yeah I liked season one, especially how they just did their own “in your face, this is not the books deal with it!”, kinda thing. Way to many movies/shows tries to hard to mirror the book’s, and it just isn’t possible, something will always get lost in translation.

No I didn’t see season two, did you?

 

[Aila sa’Olghan]

I guess I need to write faster..Thanks for all the warm welcomes!

I’ve got a pretty busy month ahead, but sure I’ll check it out, maybe it can jog my memory, and I’ll join in when you guys are at book six.

Welcome!! Since you liked season 1, I'd be very curious to hear what you think of season 2 if you watch it.

I also really disliked Nyneave when I first started reading, but she's grown on me quite a bit as I've gotten older.

What other books and shows do you enjoy?

 

[Phen al'Rohan]

Welcome!! Glad to have you here

Thanks!

Or…maybe we grew into understanding more layers of her?

These days I mostly watch (or listen to) documentaries. I’m really into history, especially how natural occurrences have influenced humans, both culturally, religiously and politically. Plus it makes for great multitasking, since you can mostly just listen while doing other stuff.
What other stuff are you into?

Welcome!! Glad to have you here

Thank you!

 

[Seryse ni Cousland]

Welcome. Nynaeve is my favorite and always has been.

 

[Dar'Jen Ab Owain]

I was a history major, so I definitely have fascination with change of cultures and societies over time. Documentaries can be very engaging.

 

[Anika Forsyn]

Welcome! Nynaeve definitely has the most (best maybe?) Character development!
