I was just talking about this book with a friend of mine. Review looks good, I'm officially optimistic it will be a good read.

[Eyreplenh]

Yeah, me too. The last one was very enjoyable, and I think Sanderson has what it takes to follow through

I just wish RJ was the one we are praising.

[Buck]

It's his creation, I don't think anyone would be interested in Sanderson's closing without the characters and world the RJ introduced us to. When I sit down with this one, I'll pour myself a pint and sip it in his honor.

And my beard will eat a baby.

WOOT! As it happens, I'm rereading the whole series. I decided to do this, then realized I didn't have the first book. So I started on the 2nd book sometime in August, read it, then borrowed the 1st book from a friend & read it. Then I realized I didn't have the 3rd book. So I read the 4th, the 5th & finished the 6th book last night. I've started book 7 this AM (for some reason I have two copies of this one, one HC & one paperback) and then I have to see if I can get the 8th book from the library. I have 9 & 10 then I have to hit the library again for the rest. So good to read them all back to back, I don't know if I've ever fully done that altho I've read them all several times.

Gwendolyn keeps telling me she wants to read them & I keep telling her I'll read them to her when she's a bit older.

For some reason I just figured out in this reading that Rand & Galad are half brothers. I'm also trying to keep a tally on all the black Ajah members, I keep thinking I'm missing a couple.

[Buck]

Woah, kudos to you for rereading the series. I don't think I have the stamina for that. A lot of the books were great, but some of them were pretty terrible. I don't think I'd ever make it passed Crown of Swords. And yea, Galad and Rand are half brothers, through their mother. And Galad is half brother to Elayne/Gawyn through their father. Their father is also half brother to Moraine, making her their aunt!

As for this book, I finished off the last few chapters while I had downtime at work. This book was everything I wanted it to be and more. Without going into details, for now I'll just say a generic BRAVO to Sanderson for writing a fantastic book. Between Jordan's vision and Sanderson's ability to move the plot along, it felt like I read 4 WoT books in one.

I have theories, ideas, and hunches on some things from this book. As well as some perplexed confusion about other things.


edit -- I will mention that a specific section in the book had me laughing hysterically. I'll mention it b/c it has almost no spoiler associated with it. Mat's letter was absolutely brilliant.

I sorta re-read the series, I just skipped over the parts that bored me. Made the reading go so much faster.

[sir archely]

I used to do a reread of the entire series every time a new book came out. And anytime I felt like rereading it. Not planning on doing it for this one though.

[Corvus Corax]

I'm at about 300 pages in and not going to say anything about the content (liking it so far, albeit no OMGWTFBBQ moments so far for me, just a few hell yeahs and couple mwahahahahaha's), but..... anyone else notice the amount of gramatical errors, double words and such?

Is it more than usual?

this is what I did when I decided to reread them. But I think there are some important things I missed (or missed remembering) because they were revealed in the middle of some boring dialogue. And, to be fair, I may have skimmed the boring parts the first time I read the series too

The first couple of times I re-read the whole thing and didnt skip, on my last time I re-read, my forth I skipped around.
