What it says on the tin. What was the last book you didn't finish? Malice by John Gwynne - This one came highly recommended based on other books I enjoy. I just could not plough to the end.. I gave up.

Well... I've been gone for a bit on a trip. Didn't have much time to read during, but.... As an update, I'm 25% into The Dragon Reborn. So far, I'm really enjoying it. The first time I read the series, I believe I walked away liking The Great Hunt a little more than The Dragon Reborn but this time, I might switch that up. We'll see by the end.

Daniel Henney finally acknowledged WOT on his Instagram .

I hate air travel, I really, really hate it. I hate having to wake up at an unholy hour and get to the airport and do the whole rigamarole and then be confined to a tin-can with wings for however many hours. Yes, I'm whining, I'm being petty, I need to rant randomly, because I'm kinda stressed, but did I mention I hate air travel? 😣 I'm going to read The Dragon Reborn a bit, I've only just started it and read the prologue and first chapter so I figured bring it along, even though I may not get very far in reading during my trip. In my old travel days I almost always brought a book so I guess I'm revisiting that. It brought back the memory of the first time I started The Eye of The World I was going on a long road trip and snagged the Kramer and Reading audiobook - driving through autumn scenery and mountains and hearing the story for the first time? That was magical. Great memories of discovering Emond's Field for the first time and it was the quickest car trip I can recall, the miles just flew by. I think I like road trips better than flying. That wasn't the case when I was kid but it sure is now. Read, watch a movie, check the time and brace for the landing, and then go with the throng and try to find my suitcase. That's the plan.

What it says on the tin. The Aes Sedai, who do you enjoy, who not so much? Moiraine is a special case, she's definitely in a class all her own. Her dedication and steadiness is something that really sets her apart. For others, I enjoy Verin, Leane, Suian, Pevara and Teslyn. I don't enjoy Eliada (we're supposed to hate her I think?) Joline, such a brat to deal with and her Warders were like bad bodyguards lol, and Alanna annoyed me, I never once sympathized with Alanna or understood her motives. Sheriam was an odd case for me, because I never liked her (just rubbed me the wrong way) but I never suspected she would turn out to be Black Ajah. Cadsuane is another odd case, because I never really had an affinity for her, yet I did understand her and I thought she was quite complex. She was interesting, even if I found myself frustrated by her more often than not. Anyhow, that's a bit for starters!

Outside of Rafe Judkins, Rosamund Pike, Madeleine Madden, Josha Stradowski and Marcus Rutherford did any of the main cast or crew ever comment on the WOT coming to an end/being cancelled? I ask, because I never saw anything from Daniel Henney, Zoe Robins, Donal Finn or the rest. In fact, it feels like Daniel Henney and Zoe Robins were completely sidelined with promotion and interviews after season 2. This is not a baiting topic, I'm genuinely curious.

I recently started rereading Eye of The World, I'm about halfway into the book atm. I'm kind of amazed at some of the bits I'd already forgotten. I don't think this book gets enough credit for how it handles the setting and story in a way that is easy to grasp (something I noticed when first reading but have again). It's almost like you are going on a journey to discover RJ's world while the characters are on their journey. I'm looking forward to rereading the series in the general. So, when was the last time you reread the series?
