No Elayne hopefully, but again it looks like Egwene has everything fall in her lap ajfurst Send a noteboard - 25/09/2010 08:10:54 AM
1) Perrin has a slow start, but has an awesome finale. Taken with a grain of salt, of course, this being Jason. But it seems something out of the blue happens, which may be fun. "She" is not involved apparently. Does he mean Faile? OR Berelain? Perrin also has a lot of action, which if true, will be good.

If it ends with Perrin no longer whinging about being a Lord, Faile no longer being jealous all the time and him afraid of being wolf I'll be happy regardless of what he actually does.


4) Mat is awesome. And that's about all there is about him in the review.

Except he's more like old Mat - as chapter 8 has shown.


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.

If 'Dark' Rand is replaced by doormat Rand I'll be disappointed. Amyrlin or not, Egwene is still the leader of one of several chanelling groups, and should not be on a level footing with Rand. If he has to kiss her feet, figuratively, it'll be annoying - especially if he remembers everything about being Lews Therin - the last true leader of the Aes Sedai.


7) Elayne is barely mentioned. I won't be happy if she is sidelined.

Wooh, no Elayne, means less baths, silk dress selections and moaning about being pregnant. That's a major plus. Although I'd be happy to see Elayne if it's her being turned by 13x13, or screaming as Caemlyn is over run by trollocs.

Rand's suffered (lose of hand and vision), Mat is due to and Perrin has lost his family. It's good TOM is going to continue to be dark - though I'd like to see Egwene and/or Elayne really suffer. Gawyn dead, or one of them turned to the dark (and not a cheap turn back episode after), something that puts them on a footing with Rand, Mat and Perrin, for all their adventures, they've got off much easier - especially Egwene being handed the tower and the BA by the Seanchan and Verin.

Jason's review... Looks like DomA was right (Review is now removed) fionwe1987 - 25/09/2010 05:40:18 AM 3515 Views
Re: Jason's review (spoilerish thoughts from me, so BEWARE!). Looks like DomA was right Datakim - 25/09/2010 06:00:46 AM 1329 Views
Pretty sure it's not Egwene... randfandom - 25/09/2010 07:07:00 AM 1273 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 1052 Views

After his COT review, a less then gushing review isn't great ajfurst - 25/09/2010 11:42:39 AM 1066 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 538 Views
I suppose Olver could be the one who takes off Mat's eye *NM* Lordling - 25/09/2010 10:01:17 AM 533 Views
Damn, his COT review was infinitely more enthusiastic. What could it all mean? *NM* RandAllThor - 25/09/2010 01:06:00 PM 555 Views
But his CoT review was also more enthusiastic than his KoD and TGS reviews *NM* Deadsy - 25/09/2010 01:07:15 PM 557 Views
Hmm, interesting point. Could a guilty conscience be setting in? *NM* RandAllThor - 25/09/2010 01:26:30 PM 517 Views
The review is now gone. *NM* RandAllThor - 25/09/2010 04:10:59 PM 537 Views
I'm guessing Olver will sacrifice his Snakes and Foxes game his father made for him *NM* darius_sedai - 25/09/2010 06:09:10 PM 700 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 1020 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 1033 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 472 Views
It was... fionwe1987 - 27/09/2010 04:22:24 PM 888 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 473 Views
What do you mean? Rurouni_Kenshin - 27/09/2010 11:33:15 PM 944 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 495 Views

Good call. I assumed, and still do, that the two events are one in the same. RandAllThor - 28/09/2010 01:10:13 AM 1029 Views
