"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.
