Looking for something specific... so not like... "Dumai's Well".


2.Dumai's Well



Sorry, this made me chuckle. I can't say much though, because the Wells are absolutely several of my favorite scenes.

Between Perrin and co. willingly charging into their own suicide, Rand breaking free and almost single-handedly ending the battle himself, the Asha'man annhilating the Aiel, and as you say, the Aes Sedai being forced to swear fealty (especially with the next, last chapter, discussing the Prophecy. The unstained tower, broken, bends knee to the forgotten sign, and how the rumors travelled), this is one of the most memorable and highest impact moments in the series.

To me at least.

gban mentioned Elayne, Min, and Aviendha confessing their love for Rand in front of Nynaeve, and I'd actually forgotten this one until I read that, but yeah, that's a great scene too. I appreciate it because Nynaeve's babbling always makes me laugh, bless her heart.

Also, I really really love Rand's PoV for the ending of EotW. Sure, it was super mystical and all, and may not make a lot of sense when you really think about it, but I've always enjoyed it. Stealing the Power from Aginor, destroying the Trolloc army in a fit of rage and fear, and confronting and defeating Ishamael(not to mention our first glimpse at Travelling/Skimming), all super cool and really memorable.

I've said before that I started WoT with New Spring, and that's true, but it wasn't till the ending of EotW that I was really sold.

Lastly, and I may be in the minority here, because, while I really was not a fan of most of tGS, none of ToM, and very little of aMoL, I really, really enjoyed Rand's duel with the Dark One, and the Sealing of the Bore. I thought BS actually did a pretty good job with this part. Just not enough to redeem him from the rest. (I also thought that, like, the sword duel with Ishy was kind of dumb, as well as them having Alanna. Idk, most of it was dumb tbh, but I still enjoyed the duel itself.)
