MAJOR SPOILERS


Egwene
After speaking with Rand, she sets out to convince all of his allies that his plan of breaking the seals is wrong. She asks that the monarchs and their armies meet at the point that Rand specified in one months time. Darlin of Tear is hesitant at first but Egwene promises gateways in case he is attacked by the Seanchan.


Does she have any real argumunts for them to turn on Rand or do we get a repeat of TGS?


While sleeping, Egwene meets with the Windfinder and Aiel Wiseones and offers to send 2 Accepted to them in exchange for them sending their channelers to the Tower. This deal does not mean that each group gets to keep the channelers, but each person that is sent is allowed to choose to stay.


Talk about a shitty deal for the Windfinders and Wise Ones. They get 2 inept Accepted for hundreds of competent women that aactually cares about their people or is it 2 accepted for every Wise One/Windfinder that goes to the Tower? still a piss poor deal but somewhat better.



Elayne
Elayne is almost captured by the Black Ajah when she questions them and uses the Mirror of Mists to pretend to be a Chosen.


How can she get almost get captured? Wasn't the BA in Caemlyn shielded and inprisoned when we last saw them?


The Black Tower
The Black Tower has a dreamspike on it and there is a small, but weak force loyal to Rand and the rest is part of Taim’s group. The original Tower sisters have not bonded a dedicated or soldier. They have been refused a full Ash’aman. When one of the sister’s attempts to leave via gateway, the dreamspike prevents her from doing so.


I thought Logain took away all loyal Asha'man during KoD/TGS? who are those loyal guys? Two Rivers folk?


There are no real arguments that Egwene makes for having everyone against Rand other than that they need time to study the plan. I think Rand just wants everyone in one place. Rand tells Nynaeve, who initially opposes breaking the seals that he does not think the Dark One will escape right away, he will be stronger, but not escape. He says you have to clear away everything and start anew.

I may have not been a clear as I should have regarding the swapping of the Accepted. The Windfinders and Wise Ones will be sending their apprentices. It is an equal 2 for 2 for 2 swap. Egwene realizes that if you took full Aes Sedai, they would not be willing to learn because they have been fully trained already to be arrogant.

Elayne almost get captured because other free Black Ajah and the darkfriend soldier (i forget his name - Daved Hanold?) appear and they battle. Elayne ends up winning because her copies of Mat's medallion prevent a channeler for channeling.

There are still people loyal to Rand at the Black Tower, but they are weak in the power because Taim is training all the strong men.


Still a bad deal for the Wise Ones/Windfinders as they get useless Accepted while having the next generation infected by Aes Sedai meglomania.

Wasn't Daved Hanlon arrested too? Did Duhara break him out or something?

I read somewhere that Rand and Siuan has some good interaction, what was that about?
Also, There are supposedly a lot of PoV, personally I like that, but are there many new PoV's or is the PoV's divided between known characters?
