Perrin grew a beard, the party is still in Tear. How much time was spent?
Perrin is attacked by his axe. Is it Rand's magic, even madness, or what?
Matt gained a small fortune by his magical gambling. He is also such an amoroso, he messed with the aiel women. We learn here Rand banned rape. Very unchristian of him (just read the Bible, ok?). The local nobles of course complaint. The city expects Rand to conquere Illian by military force. Suddenly the figurines on the cards come to life (what is this, Sailor Moon?) and attack Matt. Btw, I have a problem with Matt. He has this dues-ex machina luck-ability. It was referenced as "the luck of the Dark Lord". It was told he at times gets misfortune. When will he meet fuckup? until now, and we are one book deep with his ability, never failed his fortunes. His plot-armor is so thick, any character he developed got hidden under it. So we are back to square one, where we have to ask, why is he in the story again?
Rand gets some "wet dream". He is currently mostly into Elayne, definitely want to break up with Egwenne. the guy wakes up, finds certain Berelain, queen of Mayene in his room (she already was for a visitation here in the last book, before Rand arrived). She wantso fuck Rand. I hope rand is no longer a minor in RJ's book... Then Rand has to fight his mirror image a'la Prince of Persia. We learn these magick things are NOT his doing. So, realising this will be an ongoing series, RJ started to drop the insanity-plotline here?
This is the second in a row monstrous, 50 pages long chapters, and we are nowhere starting, and it'd be very welcomed if we'd get past on what we already know shall be passed, because we are not illiterate.... I mean we are familiar with Dune, and this is a ripoff of it. Instead we are waiting for the characters to catch up.
-----------------
Rand - or should I say Paul, Paul Atraides? - has trouble focusing (the mental state to use magick).
Moiraine gets Rand and PErrins story, and says "it was Evil Bubble in the Pattern". Oook. Cheesey, but ok.
On the sidenot, Rand is trying to read through the Dragon Prophecies. Consider it a hobbi, or catching up, or waste of time of the reader, lol. Narratively it fits though, so I'm just plain cruel here.
Also, the aiels still not accepted Rand as their Lord and Saviour. Rand/Paul/Jesus first has to pass their test too. and they are not telling what their prohecies are.
