  1. You'll see the shipping price before you pay. Just add it to your cart and go to checkout, it'll show I think after you input your location information
  2. In the case of Damane=Aes Sedai, that's an understandable assumption. Anybody who didn't know about the Seanchan and their structure in regards to the Power would assume the same and they have had no opportunity to have the idea corrected. Everything that they think happened at Falme is based on a misunderstanding, but its logical assumptions because there was only one person who was able to actually talk about it and without context it looks very bad. If we never had any POV from anyone at Falme and just went off of what Byar saw, not knowing any characters or anything, then we would likely have the same assumption as the Whitecloaks. And the next interaction the girls had with the Whitecloaks did nothing to dissuade that assumption. All it did was make it stronger, again for good reason. Its not just the eyes or traveling with Aes Sedai (though that is part of the reason, and for them the latter would be enough). Its that they know that he killed some Whitecloaks and that he was working with wolves, which they, and a number of other people, believe are creatures of the Dark One. Iirc Perrin thought they were too for.a while. I dunno maybe I am giving them too much credit, but a part of it is just that I haven't seen them do anything that makes me think they're the worst yet. Unlike the Seanchan where we actually see them doing things that lead to why I hate them. Most of the worst stuff the Whitecloaks have done so far has been offscreen and just told to us rather than shown. This conversation is making me wonder if I could make a reaction thread in the WoT category where I just talk freely as I read along
  3. I don't really recall a time so far where they called someone a Darkfriend without reason. Granted those reasons tend to be bad, like "they did something to insult the Whitecloaks" or just saying someone is guilty by association if they know someone they've accused, but it's still a reason. Ironically, the assumptions that make me the most mad are the ones about the Aes Sedai, the assumptions that everyone agrees with. The Aes Sedai assumptions and accusations really do bug me because I don't feel that a lot of them have much basis other than Aes Sedai using Power, which is some pretty bad basis. They don't make me inherently angry yet unlike the Seanchan. Every time the Seanchan are brought up I get angry, which I don't really get with the Whitecloaks.
  4. The Seanchan are almost as bad as One Piece's Celestial Dragon's for me. Like, they'll have to do some REALLY bad stuff for them to top the Celestial Dragons, since those are the group that I despise the most out of basically anything, but man the Seanchan will definitely be close behind. Most of the Whitecloaks are terrible but I think that part of the reason I don't see them as as bad is because out of all of the named important ones that I know of and can remember, Byar is the only one who I really hate, and he is essentially just a subject. I don't really hate the three leaders I know yet. It takes the hatred out of it when most of the people are nameless mooks, and the named ones aren't the absolute worst thing in existence. Compare that to the Seanchan, who we have way more named characters and there is not a single one so far that isn't absolutely terrible, now THAT is a recipe for some disaster. Another thing might be that I don't really recall seeing the Whitecloaks do too much. Like, sure, they're generally unpleasant and assume that basically everybody against them is a Darkfriend, but as far as I can recall we haven't really seen them do much more than occupy places. We don't see the Questioners go about their work, or see them razing a village of supposed Darkfriends to the ground, while with the Seanchan we see what they do as it happens, we see through the perspective of people victimized by them, and we see the aftermath. The only times we see the Whitecloaks actually do something we know are wrong from my recollection is just when they don't have any way of knowing otherwise. Gonna go into some spoilers up to halfway through Shadow Rising. Man I need to learn when to stop typing lmao
  5. The Whitecloaks aren't as contemptible I feel as the Seanchan. I don't like them, they're crazy and way too gung ho about accusing people of being Darkfriends for making one simple mistake, but I actually like the POV characters (other than Byar). The Bornhald's both aren't, like, the complete worst. They're at least somewhat reasonable, what with their dislike of Questioners and their methods among other things. And at least so far they don't seem too eager to jump the gun and accuse people. That might change, but most of the things they do have at least some reason for it at the moment, and they haven't killed anyone yet just because they think they're connected to someone they think is a Darkfriend. Compared to the Seanchan where every second they're on screen, I'm just hoping someone shows up out of nowhere and destroys, like, all of them. As for nobility, there has been almost no serious presence of any other than Morgase and her children, all of which seem pretty cool at the moment. There are the people at Tear but they're not really major yet. I don't like any of them, mind, but they're not completely contemptible yet, and they're easily cowed.
  6. Jordan is really good at writing contemptible pieces of human garbage. Not often do I feel such contemptuous hatred for characters like I do from Ordeith or the Seanchan.
  7. I could have probably put this in another category, thinking about it now it probably doesn't fit here. Whoops
  8. What if they are a Willshapers? As far as we know, there haven't been any recruited Willshapers at Urithiru. What if Kalak or anlother Willshaper sees the capturing of spren as an injustice because theyre not free? Maybe they have a vendetta and have turned rogue like the Skybreakers due to the humans treatment of the Parshmen? And since this is the book of our resident Willshaper Venli, it could be an interesting conflict to have her book also focus on a more rogue faction of her order.
  9. I have been exceptionally fond of Perrin from the outset and that isnt changing anytime soon, especially with her being how she is.
  10. That would be fine if not for her conflict with Perrin halfway through the book. Up to that point she was fine, after that she was just unlikable.
  11. She was fine in the last book. Its in Shadow Rising that she's started being exceptionally annoying.
  12. Oh joy. If she gets even worse thats not gonna be enjoyable. On the bright side, though, it means that I sympathize more with Perrin for having to put up with her.
  13. On chapter 27 of Shadow Rising.
  14. I've finally gotten back to where I was in Witcher 3 before losing my save data.
  15. Man thinking about it, it's always very obvious that a major character with some sort of mask or helmet is a character you already know. Like, there is no reason to specifically hide someone's face like that if you don't know who they are. I can only think of a few times where that's untrue.
  16. I got C's identity spoiled because of Persona 5, of all things. Spoilers for both below.
  17. The things I missed most in CS are running away from battles 100% of the time, that was just concenient, and being able to beat normally unbeatable bosses and get absurd experience for it
  18. We can also note that the Sleepless will play a big role in Era 4 (unsurprising) and we can assume that they don't have a big role yet in either RoW or Dawnshard, based on how he talks about being excited to write more about them.
  19. Finished Proven Guilty. Yeah that was the best one so far. No contest. Not even Dead Beat was that good if you ask me.
  20. Yeah. I like the Fates kids generally, they're a lot more memorable than a lot of the Awakening kids, but man is the reason for it terrible. It also makes literally every character a terrible parent because nothing says good parenting like Not even mentioning the fact that they're trying to convince me that in the middle of this war, everyone who gets an S Rank gets pregnant, goes through a whole pregnancy, and gives birth, which implies that the war either takes place over years which it very obviously doesn't, or they chilled in an alternate dimension for nine months and given that none of them change in appearance at all that also is obviously not the case. On top of the aforementioned fact that
  21. I have said that every single masked character is Loewe even when it's obviously not true, at least after I knew Loewe existed.
  22. >looks at pfp Hmmm I wonder who it is you're referring to.
  23. Ten bucks says the identity of C is one of those spoilers. Probably Loewe because its always Loewe.
