Prologue, Chap. 1-50, Epilogue

[JenniferL]

You may discuss the entire book here.

[Vaerraent]

The only question I really have - to excite me a little - is for somebody who has read the whole book to list characters (present in the previous books) by amount of plot-affecting content from most affected to least.

 

so like

 

Rand

Mat

Moiraine

Tuon

Perrin

Alivia

 

Or whatever. Just the ones that have juicy storylines :)

 

This is going to be the only thing I want to know before I read the book!

 

Thanks.

[JenniferL]

No, I don't have time for that. Just read the book.

[Vaerraent]

I meant just off the top of your head - a small selection of the most affected characters by your estimation, but whoever wants to answer can. I know of quite a few people who have the book early, after all.

The title of this thread only covers 1-43 when you mentioned in your post in the spoiler board that there were 49 chapters (+ prologue, and epilogue)?  I am curious because someone on the rafo board is claiming to have read the book and states that there are 50 chapters.

[JenniferL]

You're right. I miscounted. I'll edit the thread title.

*indicates a possible spelling error by me. I only have the audio book and can't confirm spelling until I get a hardcopy on Oct. 27th.

[Owners.Inc]

Wait, the audiobook's out already? Anyway, the chapter titles look promising...Verin...Iron melting...Veins of gold...can't wait...

[Jameric]

Thanks Kathana, appreciate you going out of your way like this.

 

And yes i agree with you Owners, but I think you missed the one that caught my eye the most.

 

Chapter 36: The Death of Tuon

 

 

[Owners.Inc]

To anyone who's read the book: correct me if i'm wrong on this prediction pls.

 

the death of tuon refers to her crowning as empress? i.e. tuon is no more...and she gets a new name?

[Lord Melkor]

Hello!

 

I have a question - do the Forsaken do some cool and scary things in the Gathering Storm? They mostly disappointed me in the entire series.

[MrWOTjunkie]

Loooooooooooooooooooooooong time reader first time poster. In fact first time using a forum. Have to ask, are these the correct chapter titles??? I have just been notified down here in Australia that my bookshop doesnt receive TGS until Nov 3. Grrrrrr. Is the audio book available?..Excuse my lack of Forum decorum hehe..While Im at it HI ALL, have been reading your posts for years and have found it incredibly entertaining.

[sdboka]

Moridin will do something cool in this book :)

 

Chapter 22 will be very monumental IMHO.

[Lord Melkor]

Moridin will do something cool in this book :)

 

Chapter 22 will be very monumental IMHO.

 

Is Demandred of any significance in this book? Or Mazrim Taim?

 

Does Graendal disappoint?

 

Finally, does this book end on the note that the Dark is winning and things are desperate?

 

Feel free do answer any of these questions, of course. Thanks everyone?

 

Now I need to think how to get his book quickly, it won`t be widely availible in my country.

[sdboka]

some friends will also turn out to be dark.

 

hopefully Demandred and Mesaana will make an appearance in this book.

 

Like I said Chapter 22 will be a very big turning point in the story.

[Owners.Inc]

A conversation with the Dragon? Someone talking to Rand or Rand talking to a sane LTT?? Or Semi talking to either? Possibilities....lol

 

A Promise to Lews Therin...the rpomise that they would die together at TG? or something else/new?

 

Its strange that we get into Bandar eban only in Ch 29. Oh, and wasn't Adrin an already mentioned character? Like in ch1 or the Prologue?

 

The Chapter titles seem promising. Esp: When Iron melts and the Crack in the Stone...

[ajfurst]

A general question on the book for those that have read it / heard it. How long (roughly) is the timespan of the book? From the start of chapter 1.

[sdboka]

at the point where i'm at around 2 months have already passed.

 

Aldrin is an integral part of the book. Also the bubbles of evil in this book is 100X scarier that those in books 10 and 11

[randfandom]

"The death of Tuon", hmmm. This can't be a literal death, considering RJ had outrigger novels planned on Mat and Tuon, correct?

 

Thanks for posting what info you can - I can't wait!

[sdboka]

I doubt Tuon will die. Rand is yet to bow to the Crystal Throne and the entire royal family has been murdered except for Tuon. And she's been proving to be a very wise First Daughter. This book will really change everything we've read so far.

 

I also commend Mr. Sanderson for a very well written book. No one else could have done it better. I'm sure RJ would be very proud of you.

[Charlz Guybon]

Is chapter 48 about the Karatheon cycle, I'd love to see more of the prophocies.

[Braus]

Cool a chapter about Verin, wonder what she have been up to.

[Anajon]

how do people already have the book  :o - know about chapter titles?? Those of you indicating that they have read, please explain that, as much as you can with out going to prison :-?

 

Anajon

[sdboka]

simple, we have the book

[Owners.Inc]

great...mail me a summary of chapter 3 lol...but if you've read the book, could you answer a couple of my questions above too? thanks..
