Looking forward to returning to this and seeing how my views have developed as the story continues. Just kicked off book 7!

Just started book 7 and part way through the prologue! Current thoughts: - Black Ajah truly are hidden everywhere 😳 - Elaida has surely misread her foretelling 😳 - Can’t wait until the tower finds out Rand is free 🤭 - Poor Rands mental health (constant thought) - Perrin is a really good friend to the lad - Still unsure why Faile was so upset/hurt with Perrin about Berelain in book 6 - Who will get their hands on the bowl first at Ebou Dar - Something rubs me wrong about Mazrim Taim - The story would be much shorter and there would be less pain and strife if the core five simply trusted eachother and shared their secrets - truly can’t understand why they don’t but I guess it’s a side affect of the times and culture #braindump

The characters really do intrigue me as the story unfolds. I think it’s phenomenal how he has been able to create and develop so many different individuals capturing their unique traits and voices so deeply! One of the things that tickles me continuously is seeing how the characters view eachother e.g. Mat, Perin & Rand all thinking they are individually useless with women whilst the other two always ruminate at how much better the others are with them lol. I understand what you mean about seeing the world views from different Sisters as the series goes on and really noting they are just women who have a lot of power which feeds into how they see themselves and their place in the world - very relevant to the real world and those in positions of power I feel. I’ve just finished book 6 and half way through the prologue of book 7 so very eager to see how things play out following the events of breaking Rand free

I’ve been listening to the WOT audiobooks for the first time since the show got cancelled (first 4 books narrated by Rosemund Pike are phenomenal) and I am currently on book 6 - lord of chaos. And I keep having the same recurring thought in every book - why are the Aes Sedai (Nynaeve, Egwane & Elayne included) so bloody unlikable!?! I find them truly insufferable. Do they become any more tolerable or do their pompous attitudes carry on all the way to book 15
