Hi!

[marya al'hermes]

Thanks for letting me join.
I'm reading WoT for the first time, currently in book five. My husband is a big WoT reader and I got into it late last year. I'm not a fantasy reader in general but I have been enjoying the heck out of the series and it's fun to chat about it to my husband. He is thrilled any time I want to talk about it but is really good about not spoiling.
My favorite character so far is Egwene and I'm not a huge Nynaeve fan. I like Moraine but I keep seeing Rosamund Pike! She is one of my favorite actresses so that biases me in favor of her. LOL
I'm looking forward to chatting with WoT fans!

Welcome, glad you could join us.
Egwene is great, but then again so is Matt. (The dagger wasn't his fault, the pattern made him do it! That's my story and I'm sticking to it. )

[Linkelivar Miou'Mai]

Welcome to the Tower, great to have you here. We have spoiler free book discussions and some of us are doing a re-read right now. I'm definitely in the Matt fan category...particularly after Book 3.

Hello & welcome @marya al'hermes! I completely understand about picturing Rosamund as Moraine. I read the first few books without seeing the show so I'm a little lucky in that I got to use some imagination. Now with 2 seasons under the belt, I often picture characters as their tv counterpart now.

Welcome!! Egwene is definitely a great character. Moiraine is one of my favourites 😃
