Fine! Not like I was giving anything away. The Perrin thing was a given after book 1 and the Mat thing's been crossing like 2 or 3 books, since he accepted his role as leader of the Band.

Not having read the last few posts yet, I have a strange sense I'm being mocked.

I never mocked you. Just don't read the vague information in the spoiler tag until you reach at least The Gathering Storm.

Re: What book are you currently reading?

Please you two, read on, the awesomeness of ToM has to be discussed. And you are not being mocked, I just thought you might not enjoy being spoiled again.

What's your progress ACt?

Re: What book are you currently reading?

Halfway through Knife of Dreams and just about done New Spring. Protip to those who will read WoT - don't read New Spring. It's particularly terrible. Almost completely wrecked Moraine's character irrevocably.

About to start Book Seven of the Death Gate Cycle: The Seventh Gate as well. So, book twelve won't be done for a few weeks and THEN I can work on the catch up.

Re: What book are you currently reading?

I guess New Spring should be read as a prequel only. I mean there are about 30? 40? years between New Spring and Eye of the World.
But you are right, though I liked Lan in the prequel. And in every other book. By far my favorite side character. Tai'shar Malkier.

So, some more weeks, I guess we can wait that long. Or PM kael when he's finished.

Re: What book are you currently reading?

There's the other thread - I'll stay out of it and alter the first post to "SPOILERS!"

Even Lan wasn't much in that one, but no, from what I've read it seems like only 20 years before Eye Of The World (unless there is some reveal at the end) which makes Moraine seem so young which totally clashes with her Gandalf status in the first few books.

~16 years. New Spring ends when Rand is born and he was about 16 when Eye of the World started.

Re: What book are you currently reading?

^ Wait until it is delayed for another six months, instead of early 2012.

Anyway, finished Knife of Dreams. Using spoiler tags, tell me why it was named that? What knife? I figured the ruby dagger would have factored... but no... also (spoiler warning):

What was with the writing the capture of Semirhage? Rand see's flicker, omg it's Semirhage, BIG BALL OF FLAME! Rand wakes up with a few less fingers and everyone else relatively OK and Semirhage captured. What the fuck? What a waste. C'mon... switch to someone else, probably Min, and give us the scene you lazy dead guy! Also, what a stupid forsaken.


Anyway, on to The Gathering Storm.

Re: What book are you currently reading?

To be honest, Knife of Dreams was the book I disliked the most. It seemed to just drag along the lines and also felt very forced. Perhaps Jordan was about to die when he wrote this, who knows.

But be assured, Gathering Storm will not disappoint.

Fuck yeah, A Memory of Light...it will be epic.
