i just finished it  over 3 days as well quite enjoyed it the book overall

so many different reactions at different moments :p

the egwene moment was AWESOME and sad at the same time :(

so glad nynaeve and lan survived :D

and the ending was superb :)

i nearly feared mat was dead as well

That's simply the absolute latest time he must've known. As I said before, it's really unlikely that they didn't share this fact with him right as it happened (since, as I've said, they were discussing Rand's actions with the rest before they knew what he was doing).

thanks guys :) i saw the previous quote from KoD a bit after my post but was thought there might be an on-screen discussion between Perrin & Grady/Neald that i might have missed in KoD. seems like there is only the quote from KoD.

when does perrin find out first about the taint being removed?i know its somewhere in KoD but cant find it

i've always kinda been annoyed in the back of my mind, about how some of the AS with Rand's group bonded Asha'man and they basically became glorified warders. And then there's Logain bonding some AS against their will and making them do stuff...

 

I want to see an AS and an Asha'man bond of an equal decision and be equal partners, not one commanding the other one to protect them, or one being in service to the other.

how about daigan and eben hopwil? these 2 genuinely seem to be fond of each other other than just being aes sedai and warder

alright i thought i would chip in here too :p

first off egwene....i dont hate her, but i get annoyed at her sometimes when she was "throwing a tantrum" back in earlier books. by that i mean she would argue with nynaeve for the sake of arguing and of course the epitome of which was when she berated nynaeve in TAR because she could.

but i do like her manipulations when it comes to the WT and Aes Sedai and reforming slowly the WT.

nynaeve is my fav female character, so i admit to being biased when it comes to her, but even with her faults, she manages to make me laugh, sometimes get annoyed at how she acts too but in the end, she has become the "servant of all"....her desire to fix and help others is ever present throughout the books.

Question: In tGS we learn that it's the ajah heads who were behind the trend of too-young sitters in both camps. We also learn that they've been working behind the scenes to rule, but that Elaida turned out to be impossible to control, and the rebellion was far more effective than they expected. Correct so far? So my question is how much did they influence? it's probably in there but i don't remember. Did they have to do with the original Elaida coup (set up an amyrlin they think they can control), or just taking advantage of the situation? They sent the too-young sitters? how did they know they'd be raised as sitters? did they send real sitters as well?

as far as i understand, the coup was planned by Elaida with the help of the BA aka Alviarin and the other Sitters.

so after the coup, the Ajah Heads decided that to help get the Tower whole again, they will send too young Sitters that they will be manipulating and get them to get the rebel Aes Sedai to come back. so i guess they just took advantage of the turmoil.

question from the TSR, is there a chronological telling of the history of the Aiel?

also the Aes Sedai with the Jenn Aiel, were they from the WT? or AoL?

A dance with Dragons by GRRM.

is there anywhere where i can find the list of the rebel hall's sitters and the WT one?

hey in TSR, just after the stone is attacked, rand thinks to himself that lanfear has given him some final piece of information to make his decision.

anyone knows what was it that she did or said?

thanks i was a bit confused about it.

i am rereading the Great Hunt and in the chapter "Seanchan" that Bayle Domon notices a man in a cage from a tower, what is the man meant to be?

is birgitte with a sword normal? i thought she said everytime she never carries a sword

 

I think she actually said something about wearing /using a sword leading to disaster in every lifetime.

ah yes, so isnt it odd she will wear one though?

is birgitte with a sword normal? i thought she said everytime she never carries a sword

i actually don't mind cadsuane, her methods are most unusual of course but she did what she felt she had to to deal with a psycho Rand.

might be a very silly question, can someone please point to me a link where you have the explanation on aridhol, padan fain, mordeth and mashadar.

i keep mixing them.

was semirhage or lanfear the one who sent trollocs in the stone of tear when sammael sent his attack?

Semirhage.

cheers

in fire of heavens- a departure

 

"he had two things, he said, a sword that would not break and a war that could not end; he would never gift a bride with those. That, at least, Moiraine had taken of, though he would not know until it was done."

 

is moiraine referring to passing her bond to myrelle here?or some other thing?

 

Although it hasnt been exactly specified. It was certainly refering to the bond. (You dont need confirmation that rain is wet kinda thing)

 

the odd thing is that at point moiraine had already told Lan that in case she dies, his bond would be passed onto myrelle.

 

so the "he would not know" made me wonder.

 

 

Gahhh, I am getting slack.

 

Luckers is right.

 

I was refering to the whole bond passing thing (including Nynaeve passing etc..) but now I re-read the posts, it wasnt at all clear. Sorry bout that. Luckers saves the day again.

haha no worries man :P

ah ok cheers man

I have a question abt TGS.

I was doing my re-read and Egwene says she got the oath rod from Saerin earlier in the morning. However it strikes me as odd that when she went to the WT to get the rod, why didnt she ask if Elaida survived?

Egwnene own thoughts were that she has to assume that Elaida is in still Amyrlin after the Seachan raid.

Did anyone else notice that? and why didnt she ask Saerin>? That seem to be like the more logical thing to have done.

So I was re-reading Winter's Heart and i just realised that Cadsuane think at some point that she was on the verge of routing out the BA, could it be she knew Verin was "BA"? and who was the head of the Supreme Council?

Hello

Just a question about something in the Crown of Swords, in the back of the UK edition, it says in SL a terrible power awakens...is it the link between Rand and Moridin created when their balefire touched?

Also what was in the message Pedron Niall received just before his death? Is it the Seanchan coming back?
