Hi, all!

I've been sitting in the Library for years and I'm happy to join finally and become a part of the community!
Here's my ice breaker answers:
  • Who is your favorite character in The Wheel of Time and why?
Favourite character from my current read-through perspective would probably be Egwene al’Vere.
Currently I just finished Winter’s Heart and then New Spring, but I go into very deep rabbit holes on the Tar Valon Library and Egwene’s story is so interesting to me. The diverse experiences she had in this very compartmentalized world makes her so interesting. I always love the chapters that have a Rebel perspective or even reference the Rebels, they’re the real heroes in WoT don’t @ me lol.

  • How did you find TarValon.Net?
It was so long ago I’m not even sure how, probably a google search. I’ve been an avid user of the Library for many years and the high quality information there (thank you to the Brown sisters who contribute!) kept me coming back over any other website.

  • What do you do? (student? job? hobbies?)
I work full time for the government in Military Communications. My hobbies are currently audiobooks (sci-fi, pet training, and WoT of course), older pc games, and learning linux.

  • Where are you from? What languages do you speak?
From all over Canada, I’ve lived in the majority of the provinces but currently reside in Ontario.

  • Have you seen Wheel of Time on Prime? Did you enjoy the show? (Again, remember spoiler tags)
I’ve seen literally all of the extra bits, but I only watched the first few episodes before life took over and I just haven’t made the time to rewatch it. I enjoyed it very much, at the time it had been years since I last picked up the books, so it was a fresh experience and I’m looking forward to rewatching the whole series in one go when I finish the books!

  • What is your favorite book or author other than Robert Jordan and The Wheel of Time?
Recently I’ve been going through a bunch of different sci-fi authors and series. The Bobiverse, Hell Divers, Super Powereds, and Expeditionary Force are just a few of the ones that I’ve read. Sorry, can’t just pick a favourite!


A little bit about me I suppose.
I've got 2 beagle dogs and a cat. So many walks/fur/couch snuggles.
I just started CoT and I'm kind of excited for the final few books but nervous too? Like its been a couple months of listening it feels at this point and I don't want it to end!
I spend too much time reading through the Library in weirdly unrelated subjects that started from a chapter summary that I just listened to.

Thanks for having me, I'm looking forward to interacting on the forum or discord!

Welcome to TarValon.Net! I believe I also found the site via searching and finding the library, it's quite useful.

Welcome. The other great thing about the library...are the secret tunnels that lead to various adventures!
