  1. This is just AWSOME !! I just started another re-read and hope to finnish up right as this book hits the shelves.

     

    Nynaeve and Moiraine is my guess but thinking also Alivia and Moiraine ? Does'nt she wear yellow ?

     

    Just made the cover my "background"

  2. Simply awsome. What a dark beginning to the "last" book. Now I want more of this than ever before. I think I'll start yet another re-read and hope to have it finnished by the time the last book is out.

    I would pre-order thru Amazon but do like supporting my local bookstore even though they are generally a bit more costly.

    Enjoyed this bite emensly. Thanks for this.

  3. It's easy to pick Matrim. He does'nt want greatness but is not afraid to run from it when it's upon him or complain about it,only a simple fun game of dice,a nice mug of ale ( of course maybe a good wine if that's what the crowd has going )a nice place to kick the heels up near a warm fire and now a nice snuggle with his wife,Tuon. He was always the one, and still is, who still knows how to kick back and let the dice fall as it may. Things a little to tense,"here I got this badger in this sack. What say we just let this little, mean and now ill-tempered fella go in that crowded square and have a laugh !!"

    "Remember how we......"

  4. To Harriet,Brandon and all of Team Jordan...Thank You,Thank You and Thank You !!

    I get so frustrated reading some of these posts from people who just don't seem to understand that this series did'nt have to be finnished at all !! It's a testament to us fans of the Wheel of Time and all of Mr. Jordans writings that Harriet went through a difficult process to try and bring this to a conclusion as Mr. Jordan wished. She did not have to do this !! REMEMBER THAT !!!It could have all ended with his passing. Instead of complaining that it's not getting done to "your" satifaction, be glad that it's getting done at all.

  5. Might be a marketing ploy, the date might be of some significance to Harriet also. The last book in the final month of the Year of the Dragon...I like that.

     

    The last two books came out in October/November respectively. So atleast for me it's not that big of a deal since I had thought they would release it within those two months to follow the other releases anyway. So as far as I'm concerned it's only a short wait of two months. I'm still happy this is still getting finished at all. They,meaning Harriet, wants to wait till then...God Bless Her !!! As it has been said time and again, it's her call !!!

  6. I must agree with Theodril that Rand has already "died".Dragonmount was where LT dies."standing on his own grave".Blind,Perrins vision and the fact as Rand wanders through Seanchan held lands,he sees peace and order,"I have been blind" right before he goes to Dragonmount.I also believe he will"kneel to the Chrystal Throne"to bring peace and order to the lands he has conqured.They certainly have the man power to do that.A remnant of a remnant I believe will be the Tu'athan and any survivors from the last battle.Avi will somehow make a peace with the Seanchan,with Elaynes and Egewnes help.

  7. Wow. Picked up "Eye of the World",left on the seat of an airplane,back in 1990 ! Have re-read the series before every new release and am currently at chpt.2 in TGS. I think when I finnish the last one it will be a bittersweet feeling. Happy for the last book, sad to see it all over. I know I'll miss my friends,Mat,Perrin and Rand. Always enjoyed my visits with Rands' Da Tam also. Always had some good advice.

    It will be a long wait.

  8. @aammondd & Rory Bayliss...Graendal was the expert on madness.Semirhage mentions that in KoD,Chpt.27.Semirhage starts by saying,"He's insane." Then goes on to say,"Graendal could explain it better than I. Maddness was her specialty." She then goes on to explain about the voices saying,"You know of people who hear voices in their heads? Sometimes,very rarely,the voices they hear are the voices of past lives.Lanfear claimed he knew things from our own Age,things only Lews Therin Telamon could know." All she's trying to to here is scare them. Min ( Elayne and Avi.)know Rand is not insane thru the bond.Cadsuane has already asked Rand,"have you started to hear the voices?" when she first meets him in Carhien. So this new tid bit is not new news to her,especially since she has caught more male channelers than any other Aes Sedai.Well,so she claims.

    Logain is the question here.Does he hear any voices? Is Semi.speaking of him while looking at Rand ?

     

    @Grifter7...I like the mask of mirrors theory.Makes alot of sense.The pedestal that Logain steps over is definatly at the Black Tower.In the epilogue of KoD when the Red sisters arrive at the Tower "He darted through the gateway and closed it before she had a chance to see more than a white stone platform with steps leading up one side and a squared-off black stone ...polished til it shone in the sun,atop it."This is a very close description the Egewene has.

     

    Sorry this is so long...

  9. I like that. I always thought that Logain would somehow be made out to be the "real" Dragon Reborn and that Rand somehow becomes a false Dragon.Upon reading your theory that would make more sense.

    I had another post elsewhere where I think Logain gets his "Gory" because Rand loses the ability to channel and Logain becomes the strongest male "Aes Sedai" at the end.

    All in all I like this and need to think some on this.

  10. I agree with UncleButcher,relax a bit.[and Kristen is hot] This is all just fun stuff.Enjoy it!!

    I would have a question for Kristen,what Aja would you be ? I'm thinking green myself.Is she going to be involved with the next video trailer for the last book also ?

    These updates are really cool,Thanks for them.
