Pretty sure it's not Egwene... randfandom Send a noteboard - 25/09/2010 07:07:00 AM

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.


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.


I doubt very much it was Egwene. She was in the Tower reading reports. Where would she have the time or motivation to go out to the Mountain having more than she can handle getting the WT back together?

However, in that final chapter of TGS someone was missing. Gawyn was nowhere to be found, having shadowed Egwene previously. My guess is that he went out to the mountain and met Rand - too much foreshadowing in TGS towards that encounter and I always figured they'd come to a showdown sooner or later.

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 1023 Views

No Elayne hopefully, but again it looks like Egwene has everything fall in her lap ajfurst - 25/09/2010 08:10:54 AM 1204 Views

After his COT review, a less then gushing review isn't great ajfurst - 25/09/2010 11:42:39 AM 1014 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 516 Views
I suppose Olver could be the one who takes off Mat's eye *NM* Lordling - 25/09/2010 10:01:17 AM 512 Views
Damn, his COT review was infinitely more enthusiastic. What could it all mean? *NM* RandAllThor - 25/09/2010 01:06:00 PM 534 Views
But his CoT review was also more enthusiastic than his KoD and TGS reviews *NM* Deadsy - 25/09/2010 01:07:15 PM 538 Views
Hmm, interesting point. Could a guilty conscience be setting in? *NM* RandAllThor - 25/09/2010 01:26:30 PM 495 Views
The review is now gone. *NM* RandAllThor - 25/09/2010 04:10:59 PM 518 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 982 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 455 Views
