SO. SLOW. No, I don't care if Aes Sedai #86 has embroidery on her sleeves or on her bodice.

“The dead cannot harm the living, Elsie,” she said gently.... “They’re not of this world anymore, and they can’t touch anything in it, including us.”

'"I have toh.” Her stomach was not fluttering any longer. “I ask the favor, that you will help me meet my toh.” Salidar was going to have to wait.'

That. Is. AWESOME.

Reading this, with all the different characters all over the world Jordan has created, makes me think about how it has influenced other fantasy. Specifically, I'm thinking about ASOIAF. The way the characters are so far flung is interesting, and all with their own, weird ways of thinking on how the world is going to be saved. Lord of Chaos indeed.

This Nynaeve POV has been pretty awful.

Count me in with Team Min. Elayne and Aviendha are both just annoying.

Paden Fain is really a fantastically awesome villain. I find myself almost hoping he comes out on top in the end, while I know he's really just there to be like Gollum -- the evil character who incidentally ends up thwarting the big bad's plans.

"the way the woman was now, it might only give her notions."

The casual easy in which so many POVs in these books consider other people to be their tools to be controlled is really kind of scary. This is only one of the examples that I've come across, but there are many.

"It was only in cold calm that he could touch saidin; acknowledging anger would shatter the Void"

If I read that in a book written today, and given the earlier revelation that Nynaeve can only channel specifically when she was angry, I'd fully expect to learn, a couple of books down the line, that Nynaeve is actually trans. Or something stupid along those lines. Yay for old books.

I've read this book before. Let me think... Chosen one goes into the deadly wilderness... Finds the army that will follow him to greatness... Oh yeah. Dune.

I really wanted to do other things today, but this book has me hooked. I love the characters, and the world building is fantastic, too.

Selene has to be evil, a tool of the Dark One. If she isn't, I may puke.

The bit where Rand and Mat were on their own was tedious, but the rest has been ok.

"I see you're in a hurry to get someplace. It's a great mistake to hurry."

"Why?"

"Because the grave's our destination. Those who hurry usually get to it quicker than those who take their time."

So far, I like it. A lot. Very Tolkienesque, in a good way, but not an obvious ripoff like Shannara.
