I was bawling during the scene with Tam in front of Rand's pyre - it really got to me. Other scenes where I got choked up were definitely Siuan's (and by extension, Bryne's) death, I loved her character so much, Rhuarc's death and also Egwene's death - hers was truly honorable and I clung to some small hope that she would live even when it was said that she had drawn too much of the Power. AMoL was the first book where I actually cried and I think that that was fitting at the end of a series that I love so much.

I just finished it a few minutes ago and the one word I keep repeating is: wow! It is one of the only books to have made me feel the full spectrum of my emotions and while I am still in shock that it is all over, I do feel a sense of closure. Quite simply, it was brilliant and I do hope to see a little elaboration in the encyclopaedia as to the Rand/Min/Aviendha/Elayne future.

Wow they are really great - especially love the Nynaeve and Leane ones

It's a really beautiful cover...too bad they won't be using that for the Orbit edition :(

A Memory of Light Previews at JordanCon
Shimmer commented on JenniferL's news item in A Memory of Light
I personally am very happy that Brandon is in Australia at the moment since I can go and meet him, however I would have loved to go to JordanCon before the release of aMoL! I wish I could hear Harriet read the excerpt but I guess I'm just going to have to wait until Jan. 2013...so jealous! -
Release Date for A Memory of Light + eBook
Shimmer commented on Jason Denzel's news item in A Memory of Light
I had hoped for a 2012 release date but with a 2013 one - well at least it will get my last year of high school to a good start -

This is great! Brilliant stuff to keep us enthused in the lead up to aMoL. -
Exactly my thoughts, Bolt Walt! I couldn't think of a more apt year for the release of the final WoT book.

Brand New Rand al'Thor Shirt from Ta'veren Tees
Shimmer commented on Dwynwen's news item in Community & Events
It's certainly a very striking design - keep the great work going! A perfect way to kick off the Year of the Dragon with the Dragon Reborn himself. -
You belong to the Green Ajah! This is your result in its entirety: Green Ajah: 7 Yellow Ajah: 5 Blue Ajah: 4 Gray Ajah: 3 Red Ajah: 3 White Ajah: 2 Brown Ajah: 2 -> I have always identified with the ideals of the Green Ajah but strangely as I've grown older I've shifted from Blue to Yellow Ajah as my second preference, which was uncannily mirrored in this test!

I just finished The Return of the King and TSR, I'm currently on Frankenstein by Shelley and then next is The Great Gatsby by Fitzgerald and 1984 by Orwell (as well as continuing with my WoT re-read of course!)

What's your favourite scene in the entire WoT?
Shimmer replied to number13's topic in Wheel of Time Books
There are many great scenes to choose from but for me, these are the ones that continue to stay vivid: * Mat vs Galad and Gawyn quarterstaff/sword fight * Aiel ancestry at Rhuidean * Dumai's Wells * Cleansing of saidin * The whole scene with Rand, Min and Semirhage in tGS ...That's as much as I could narrow it down to! -
Ah! Thank you so much, Suttree!
