We get some excellent chapters here. Mat's excellent adventure with Thom continues and we get some great scenes with Perrin.

Sorry this is so late, everyone. It's been a really rough week. The early chapters were rough going - I don't know about you lot, but I'm pretty much done with the Hounds of Tar Valon for a while - but some good Mat stuff later on, and Thom comes back!

Great chapters to read, even though they take place within the White Tower and deal with all the women's issues I hate so much. Thankfully most of that seems to be curtailed. And we get to hear about The Amerlan's Uncle Juan. Continued in-attempts to make sure spelling is correct. Chapters and summary below the fold.

There were a few interesting things that happened in these chapters, but for the most part, they were just setup/exposition chapters. So far, I have concluded that Robert Jordan meant to make the Wheel of Time series so that each book was a stand-alone story. Because of this, he explains and re-explains the same things over and over again. While this might be useful if someone tried to read a single book of the series, it turns many of the chapters into exposition instead of action, lengthening the books and breaking their flow.

Great chapters - thanks to MG for trading me, and additionally for setting himself up so perfectly :)
About half of this post had to be cut because I realized it was full of spoilers. I'll save it for later. Chapter 13 was previously accidentally left out of my post; it has now been appended. Continue reading "Wolves and the World of Dreams, pt. 1" Tuesday, May 7. 2013

After dragging his feet a bit with the first two novels, Robert Jordan really seems to have a grasp on where he wants to go as we start the third book in the saga. Chapter summaries...you know the drill.

Sorry this is late, been trying to run a campaign for office in the UCRP. Chapters summarized below the fold, but general tone: Jordan was still thinking he'd wrap this up in three books. In some ways, I'm glad he failed.

I think I enjoy this book a little more. Maybe because I didn't bother to read all the stuff about Selene. Plus things seem to make a bit more sense, this time around. But I still don't like this book that much. Continued in-attempts to make sure spelling is correct. Chapters and summary below the fold.

A lot of things happen in these next chapters, but the events seem to be beginnings, not endings, and the number of beginnings without endings is growing rapidly. It would be really nice to see some threads wrapped up instead of started up.
See below the fold for summaries. Continue reading "The Great Hunt (30 -35" |
