Oh my god Rand is in the same camp as fucking Padan Fain. This is not good. Seeing Caraline, who looks like Moiraine, makes me sad. I miss her.

Well the Sea Folk gave in pretty quickly. Rand’s going to have to deal with those Seanchan sooner than he thinks. That’ll be fun.

Wow Elaida is in full meltdown mode AND being blackmailed by the Black Ajah. Yeah, the Tower Aes Sedai are fucked.

Damn these Kinswomen can be old. 412 years. I gather that the Oath Rod has something to do with culling their age.

Wow Moghedien is a bit hasty. Granted, Nynaeve humiliated her but good lord. But hey, her block is gone. Thanks Moghedien! And now shes screaming at Lan. Ah, just like the good old days.

Wow. That turned my stomach. Rape is rape, whether a woman does it or a man. And Mat wanting to weep was a gut punch. God, poor kid. I hope her fate is worthy of her vileness.

Okay the amount of rape or implied rape in this book is… excessive. And now Mat’s getting SAed by a fucking Queen. What the hell is going on here???

Tylin’s weird obsession with Mat creeps me out. That boy needs to run for the hills.

It is interesting that the Seanchan do bring order where they go. But I suppose authoritarians are good at that. Obey or die. Still, at least Morgase is free and freed herself of the Lion Throne as well.

Ah the fucking Seanchan. I also learned Seanchan is pronounced Shawn-chan and its fucking with my head. Either way, they are fucking evil. Worse, they’re not even darkfriends, well except Suroth, but they just represent the heinous evil of humanity, without the need for the Dark One’s meddling. As if Forsaken and Darkfriends werent bad enough. Ugh.
