*tries to open a gateway to b.banner, to give him Lord of Chaos, then remembers that he borrowed the book from a friend. Oh well.*
Man, that's one of the best books! Although Crown of Swords ranks right up there too! I just finished Winter's Heart. Needless to say, the climax was AWESOME!!! I'll do a little spoiler below...I just can't hold it in! DO NOT READ IT UNLESS YOU HAVE READ WINTER'S HEART.

*embraces saidar to enhance her reading.*
Curub, were you talking about the "battles" Perrin, Mat and Rand had or the acual first battle?

Yeah...I realized that just as I was going to bed.
I was referring to the battle in the Stone of Tear, with all the Trollocs and the saidin lightning storm...awesome stuff. I wasn't talking about the bubbles of evil. Aaaand, for your reading pleasure, the Top 10 plot twists you'll find in A Memory of Light (some spoilers)...I've put numbers 7 and 8 in spoiler tags, because they come somewhat late in the series. All the rest basically involve events in the early books, or else you won't get them at all. 10. The Whitecloaks were right all along. 9. There wasn't actually a taint on saidin to begin with.
6. Mat is the Dragon Reborn. 5. Berelain is actually one of the three women in Min's viewing of Rand. 4. The Seanchan have the right Prophecies. 3. Rand's not really the Dragon Reborn. 2. Paidan Fain was actually framed as a villain. 1. Rand really did kill the Dark One back in Book 2, so there was no point in having the rest of the series!

*Wraps Curub in Air and ties off the threads*

I think I just figured out why there are three thread benders. (I know the word i just can't spell it ) One is Dragon Reborn, One is He Who Comes With the Dawn, and One is the Cormoor. This is just a guess. I'll find out if I'm right.

You mean ta'veren?
So you're guessing that Rand, Perrin, and Mat are, in some order, the Dragon Reborn, He Who Comes With the Dawn, and the Coramoor? Or is it something totally different?

I just finished the infamous Crossroads of Twilight. It's not actually as bad as it's made out to be. As my friend told me, it's basically a setup for the next book. Keeping that in mind, the lack of a major climax or plot isn't really so bad.

Book number 10. My friend's going to bring me book 11, and then I will have finished all of the book's RJ's written so far. Except for New Spring. I'm really grateful to my friend, actually. He's loaned me a copy of every single book, as I finished them.

I think that the reviewer's blurb for DR called it a "year's read".

The last chapter gets really fun!
The next book is one of the best, IMO. The Grey Man pops back up again in a very cool scene. I finished New Spring in a day...it was interesting, but a little skimpy in my opinion. However, it was really cool to see all of the people years before WOT, like Siuan and Moiraine being Accepted!
