mat will always be more compelling than rand imho.
― ian, Tuesday, 23 June 2009 21:01 (fourteen years ago) link
rand is the inverse of matt he starts out reasonably interesting and slowly become more and more of a total joke and non-entity
This is pretty OTM.

Perrin got pretty annoying in the last few books i thought, the storyline with him chasing the Shaido seemed to go on forever

tell me you guys are talking about dennis perrin
― goole, Tuesday, 23 June 2009 21:08 (fourteen years ago) link
while its true that dennis perrin is a werewolf no we r not
best ta'veren is probably egwene as mentioned upthread
― Lamp, Tuesday, 23 June 2009 21:16 (fourteen years ago) link
oh shit forgot she's also ta'veren...is nynaeve also?
OH big question here: can't remember for sure but isn't thom merilin actually elayne's father??

implied but not confirmed iirc
― get money fuck witches (HI DERE), Tuesday, 23 June 2009 21:19 (fourteen years ago) link
i dont think its verified but thats the cw xp
egwene isnt really ta'veren shes just my favorite EF character. of the three mat's probably my pick
― Lamp, Tuesday, 23 June 2009 21:21 (fourteen years ago) link
do u guys have a favorite angreal in the story i am partial to the weird doorway (obvs) and the balefire rod but i am curious as to your more invested opinions.
― ian, Tuesday, 23 June 2009 21:37 (fourteen years ago) link
not really angreal but the whole portal stone thing was a++++ and one of my favorite things in the series
the protective get-ups the nynaeve and the other powerful AS has are pretty cool
― Lamp, Tuesday, 23 June 2009 21:40 (fourteen years ago) link
protective get ups? maybe i didn't read that far or have forgotten. i liked the rings that make them go to the dreamworld too cuz dream worlds are A++
― ian, Tuesday, 23 June 2009 21:41 (fourteen years ago) link
foxhead medallion pretty punk too.
― ian, Tuesday, 23 June 2009 21:42 (fourteen years ago) link
cadsuane! thats the other one. have u got the cleansing yet? i think thats really the first time they're mentioned
nynaeves is a set of rings connected to a bracelet and a belt i think that has a well and can null the power like mat's foxhead and detect channeling and is also an angreal. might do other things.
cadsuanes is a set of charms connected to like a headband and each of the charms does something similar to nynaeve's jewelery

holy shit i forgot all about the collars!!!!!
seanchan collars are fuuuccccked. like when the darkfriends have them on people and they just fuckin em up. bowl of the winds was awesome yes.
i did get to the cleansing but srsly haven't picked up these books for years and years so i'm forgetting things.
― ian, Tuesday, 23 June 2009 21:47 (fourteen years ago) link
i keep poking around for a copy of the eye of the world. i always see it at thrift stores around here. must.. begin.. re-read..
those collars made the largest impression on me of all of them tbh
― get money fuck witches (HI DERE), Tuesday, 23 June 2009 21:47 (fourteen years ago) link
bowl of winds was ~shrug~ but when elayne unravels a gateway and basically napalms the seanchan was sick

Who (besides Rand) has killed the most people?
― get money fuck witches (HI DERE), Tuesday, 23 June 2009 22:00 (fourteen years ago) link
Padan Fain likes the odd massacre doesn't he?
― Number None, Tuesday, 23 June 2009 22:01 (fourteen years ago) link
Yeah, but a whole bunch of them (heroes and villains) are pretty bloodthirsty.
― get money fuck witches (HI DERE), Tuesday, 23 June 2009 22:04 (fourteen years ago) link
didn't mat blowing the horn result in like thousands of dead seanchan?
― which button do I push to kick your ass? (nickalicious), Tuesday, 23 June 2009 22:06 (fourteen years ago) link
elayne killed a few thousand seanchan + all those soliders died @ caemlyn on her behalf (dont know if that counts)

one of these
i guess i need to read these again before launching into the next one, which means buying them all again.

As counter-intuitive as it seems, it really is easier to read these in one giant lump than it is to read them as they come out with the giant gaps between books.
― get money fuck witches (HI DERE), Wednesday, 24 June 2009 15:49 (fourteen years ago) link
problem is, that was a possibility when i was 15 and didn't have to do anything except eat, sleep and have hair. nowadays, not so much time for reading.

i never read number 11, and i didnt even finish 10.
i may just pick up 11 and see how it goes. i havent read a word of this series since 2003 but i read the first 6 or so several time each.

dilemma:
do i got a bookstore to buy a paperback of the eye of the world, OR do i order it from amazon, even though with shipping it's only a few bucks cheaper? I worry that if I wait for it to arrive in the mail my enthusiasm for nostalgia will have faded.
― ian, Friday, 26 June 2009 15:41 (fourteen years ago) link
btw this is some secret shame shit, but the first time i picked one of these books up i was in 7th grade and i did it cuz i saw a (cute) girl reading one of them and thought maybe it would make me more likable/"cool."
― ian, Friday, 26 June 2009 15:43 (fourteen years ago) link
I'd buy it at a store, but that's me.

other option is to ask my mom to look in the closet of my old bedroom for my old copy, but that might just make her confused and a little sad.
