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.

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.

Wow, Valda is a scumbag. Raping Morgase. Fuck that guy. I hope Galad finds out and puts his head on a spike. Bastard.

I almost feel bad for Moghedien. Almost.

A lot is happening… and yet a lot isnt happening. Rand and Min fucked, Sammael is planning to use the Shaido for mayhem, Nynaeve and Elayne have toh to Mat, and now they found the lady channeler brigade whom the Aes Sedai seemingly know nothing about. It’s reading fast? But goodness, the plot is coming to a standstill.
