Lizzardborn Posted March 14, 2014 Report Share Posted March 14, 2014 When Shallan was breaking into the monastery Yatil said something that sounded disturbingly like Gollum in Lord of the rings when she tries to immitate madness. “Should we kill them?” she muttered. “No. No, we shouldn’t. But someone will see! No, do not say these things. No. I will not listen to you.” I haven't read LoTR in english but I do remember something like that in the scenes with Gollum. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course Gollum managed to survive Mount Doom by world hopping to Roshar! He is the true leader of the Sons of Honor!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I considered being reminded of Bela with the one gentle horse. But there's only one Bela! Although Egwene did make a dream Bela once... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
