“It’s as untouchable by a woman as the moon is to a cat. “ I’ll give him points for originality there, even though a better parallel would have been to say that men can’t touch the feminine half of the power…unless men can touch the feminine power? Oooooh….

Is this foreshadowing? Is Rand going to marry the princess?!?!?

Dang, fantasy where mental health is being taken seriously?

Okay, I’m living for Mat’s crash out because it is epically realistic.

Why is there a tarp in this world?

Yeah, the dreams with the wolves. I didn’t trust this guy in the first place and now Perrin is having wolf dreams? It’s suspicious.

Jordan really separated Rand and Egwene for the middle of this story. I hope the reunion is going to be worth the separation. They are so cute and I’m very disinterested in this whole subplot with the wolf guy. I just want them to get to their HEA but I feel like Jordan is going to stretch that out because there are so many books.

I have a feeling this captain and his family are estranged and he’s actually deeply sensitive about his boat and crew.

“As the foggy tentacle grew thicker.” Such a creepy description…

Reading the prequel first is interesting because, while it gave me an idea of the writing style, this feels more like a D&D campaign. I miss the character development. This isn’t bad, but it’s easy to tell how much earlier this was in his writing journey.
