On one hand I'm super excited to see how the story ends. There are lots of character and story threads to finish and it's exciting to see how they all come together. On the other hand, I've spend a large part of my life in these books and I'm very sad to see it end and know there are no more new adventures to look forward to with the characters I've grown-up with.

The Wheel of Time is where I truly developed my love of fantasy and sci-fi. The Wheel of Time world is very realistic I think, as far as fantasy goes. There are limitations and explanations for almost everything. It's not perfect, but Robert Jordan really did a great job of creating a world that seems alive and has stuff going on not related to the characters we experience.

I would visit all the places all over the world that I want to see. And of course try my hand at channeling.

I'd be one of the finns. It seems like they are the most shrouded in mystery and I think it would be interesting to know more about what they are and how they do what they do.

I agree with those above who said both if possible. We see quite often that just because you can channel, doesn't mean you can fend for yourself (and that is usually proven closely following a character stating that they need no protection). If I had to choose one over the other, saidar. I don't think I'd do well with a sword or an axe.

Happy birthday!!!
