Re: Jason's review (spoilerish thoughts from me, so BEWARE!). Looks like DomA was right Datakim Send a noteboard - 25/09/2010 06:00:46 AM

2) Ituralde cannot catch a break. Is he going to lead a major defense against the Trollocs? Or is Graendal going to put a wrench in his plans?


Hmm. This suggests that Ituralde will continue the struggle against the trollocs despite the fact that Rand betrayed his promise to him. Maybe Ituralde, having seen what is to come will realise that he needs to protect the borderlands anyway. Or maybe the sane Rand will return to fullfill his promise.


3) Olver does something heart wrenching which shows the price the characters have to pay for victory. No clues about this.


Let's hope Olver does not die.


5) A last throwaway line says that the story begins with Rand walking down the mountain to have a long overdue chat with somebody. Obviously, this is Egwene, and I'm deeply peeved this is the first chapter. Like DomA said in an other thread, this messes up timelines heavily. And also takes away from the final moments of tGS. Egwene saying that someday they will find out the significance of the break in the clouds sounded like Foreshadowing for a later meeting with Rand. Apparently, she's going to meet him in a few hours. Not cool at all.


I don't entirely understand why Rand WOULD do this? I mean how does he even know that Elaida is still not in control of the WT. Or that even if Egwene is in control, she would not do something foolish like capture him. And Rand does not know that the black ajah has been defeated so walking to Tar Valon all alone seems incredibly foolish to me. So much for new improved cunning and wise Rand that I hoped for. :(

I mean its not like he can walk down the mountain from where he is without some extreme climbing equipment. He would have to travel anyway, so why the heck go to TV rather than return to his friends who must all be worried sick right now.

Bah.

Pretty sure it's not Egwene... randfandom - 25/09/2010 07:07:00 AM 1169 Views
Everyone seems to think Rand will talk to Egwene, but a male channeler also makes sense Matrimony Cauthon - 25/09/2010 10:44:18 PM 983 Views

No Elayne hopefully, but again it looks like Egwene has everything fall in her lap ajfurst - 25/09/2010 08:10:54 AM 1154 Views

After his COT review, a less then gushing review isn't great ajfurst - 25/09/2010 11:42:39 AM 976 Views
But he is specifically trying to avoid being overly fanboyish BECAUSE of that CoT review. *NM* Terez - 27/09/2010 04:19:21 PM 495 Views
I suppose Olver could be the one who takes off Mat's eye *NM* Lordling - 25/09/2010 10:01:17 AM 487 Views
Damn, his COT review was infinitely more enthusiastic. What could it all mean? *NM* RandAllThor - 25/09/2010 01:06:00 PM 511 Views
But his CoT review was also more enthusiastic than his KoD and TGS reviews *NM* Deadsy - 25/09/2010 01:07:15 PM 516 Views
Hmm, interesting point. Could a guilty conscience be setting in? *NM* RandAllThor - 25/09/2010 01:26:30 PM 472 Views
The review is now gone. *NM* RandAllThor - 25/09/2010 04:10:59 PM 492 Views

It's odd, I didn't see any reference to Rand descending from DM in his review. RandAllThor - 25/09/2010 08:39:33 PM 923 Views

It wasn't quite identical... It was missing the line about Rand walking down from DM Matrimony Cauthon - 27/09/2010 06:42:47 AM 929 Views
The line about Rand wasn't there when I read the review Saturday morning either. *NM* RandAllThor - 27/09/2010 01:57:00 PM 423 Views

I must have missed it then. It does fit with Tor's not releasing Chapter 1 early. *NM* RandAllThor - 27/09/2010 05:06:36 PM 432 Views
What do you mean? Rurouni_Kenshin - 27/09/2010 11:33:15 PM 840 Views
I read somewhere that they'd release two different chapters this time. Could well be wrong though. *NM* RandAllThor - 28/09/2010 02:15:28 AM 450 Views

Not true... fionwe1987 - 28/09/2010 01:00:40 AM 852 Views
