aneonfoxtribute Posted September 19, 2023 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2023 Yeah I remember that Brandon said that he couldn't do it in one without forcing them to make a whole new method of printing. Then of course he goes and does that with Words of Radiance, and subsequently pushes that envelope every Stormlight book afterwards. As you do. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aneonfoxtribute Posted September 19, 2023 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2023 God damn it's been a hot minute since we got a fight with Trollocs. Have we had a proper fight with Trollocs since Perrin fought them at Emond's Field? I don't think so. Oh my god Lews Therin made a moving Gateway gilloutinne that's so sick Logain knows how to be a more effective WMD now, let's hope he's on our side Jordan is very good at fights. He and Sanderson have such different styles to their fights but I'm so compelled by both of them. Sanderson is really good at getting you to imagine everything that the characters are doing, every single action they make, it's like watching a fight scene from an anime in your head. Jordan is really good at just creating massive setpieces and then showing the sheer destruction 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both of them tend to write battles that showcase incredible brutality and destruction. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aneonfoxtribute Posted September 19, 2023 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2023 Oh right I forgot that Rand was supposed to meet with "Tuon". And by "Tuon" I of course mean "Suroth who will proceed to put the male a'dam on him because she has that I think". I didn't put that in my predictions. I don't know how that's gonna go, it could end this book or it could be something to deal with next book, I have no clue 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trollocs die if they pass through a gateway. Myrdraal too, I think. so even if they don't get cut to pieces, the mere act of going through it will kill them. I also liked the laser fingers 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aneonfoxtribute Posted September 21, 2023 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2023 (edited) EGWENE HAS BEEN DOING THIS ALL IN A WEEK?! GOOD GOD ELAIDA, YOU BUNGLED THIS ONE UP HARD! SHE'S DOING WORK AND FAST! This book is doing such a good job at portraying Aes Sedai as the most incompetent group imaginable it's insane. It took Egwene NINE DAYS to basically get every Novice in the Tower on her side. Elaida. All you had to do was kill her. You had ONE JOB! It would have been the easiest thing in the world! Good lord.

I kinda get it in the earlier books, but of the 3 main female leads, Egwene wises up the fastest. basically she starts getting good once she starts hanging out with the wise ones. by the end of the series, I rank her over Rand, and during the Shaido stuff, her chapters are often better than Perrin's. Mat is #1, obviously 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aneonfoxtribute Posted September 22, 2023 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2023 I've heard that people really dislike Egwene. I read that on TVTropes and then saw a few people say she was their least favorite of the main cast. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aneonfoxtribute Posted September 22, 2023 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2023 BTW may as well rank my favorite to least favorite POVs for the main characters My POV ranking as of KoD are: 1. Mat 2. Rand 3. Egwene 4. Perrin 5. Nynaeve (this one is awkward because nynaeve doesn't get a lot of povs anymore but this is probably where it'd be that last chapter was really.good but it was one chapter dammit) 6. Elayne Its kind of hard because the ranking is changing constantly depending on what's happening. Perrin would normally be higher, Egwene's plot.is just more fun rn Spoiler Min and Aviendha POVs don't exist anymore I can't rank them it's so sad 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aneonfoxtribute Posted September 22, 2023 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2023 Mat is a character that really grows on you as the series goes. Perrin gets all the immediate meat right away, but Mat is the slow burn. He starts fairly unremarkable but as the series goes on he just slowly becomes the best character. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know about that. at least once you start getting his PoVs in book 3. one of the first things he does is trounce Gawain and Galad in a fight - still one of my favorite scenes in the entire series. he was my favorite PoV character starting as soon as he got PoVs. for me the ranking is: 1. Mat 2. Perrin 3. Egwene, but 2 and 3 are VERY close. Late series Egwene is arguably better, but judged across the entire series, Perrin wins for me. 4. Rand 5. Elayne 6. Nynaeve 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aneonfoxtribute Posted September 22, 2023 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2023 Oh my god Tuon calls Mat toy even in her internal narration that's funny Also I didn't comment on it before, but it's really interesting how it seems the Seanchan also have hand talk. It's very interesting how two very different cultures from entirely different parts of the world have a similar method of private communication. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aneonfoxtribute Posted September 23, 2023 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2023 It's time for things to go down. Rand is walking right into Suroth's trap and we're inevitably about to get some huge scenes for sure. This is probably gonna make his trust issues even worse. He's still messed up from being locked in that box, I cannot IMAGINE what having an a'dam put on him is gonna do to him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aneonfoxtribute Posted September 23, 2023 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2023 IT'S TIME FOR PERRIN TO STRIKE! HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEY! PERRIN CALLED TAM HERE! SICK! It's been a WHILE since we've seen him! Alright Masema, time to meet the father. Tam doesn't know that Rand is the Dragon Reborn??? How the hell has word not arrived about that??? OH GOD DAMMIT ARAM! WHY ARE YOU LISTENING TO THE NUTJOB! Well you're dead now. Can't believe all this time spent being loyal ended with you trusting someone you met two months ago who everyone knows as a dangerously insane murderer. F's in chat for Rolan. He didn't deserve to be killed like that after just saving Faile. I was hoping Faile would stop them from fighting and they would come to an understanding LMFAO ALL OF THAT AND GALINA DIDN'T EVEN ESCAPE! SHE DIDN'T EVEN MAKE IT TO THE POINT OF BREAKING OFF THE OATH! Good riddance. And now the Shaido have completely abandoned the wetlands. Good luck staying safe when the rest of the Aiel come back, victorious from the Last Battle, and see you chilling. They ain't gonna be kind to you. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aneonfoxtribute Posted September 24, 2023 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2023 VANDENE HEARD THAT CAREANE WAS THE DARKFRIEND AND, WITHOUT A SINGLE SECOND OF HESITATION STABBED HER! NO BEAT IN BETWEEN, SHE JUST STRAIGHT KILLS HER! RAW! F for Vandene and Sareitha. This was a bad plan. Thank god Birgitte is hypercompetent. Saving Elayne AND holding Caemlyn is gonna require the other Aes Sedai in the city. Birgitte's probably gonna be forced to make a deal with them on Elayne's behalf to get their cooperation, and that's no good The fight against the Black Ajah and at the walls had no right to go as well as it did after the catastrophe that started the whole damn thing 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
