The dude with the beard and the white shirt is obviously Perrin, so I'd guess that the woman is Faile. Could the dude on the left be Elyas? Argh, I'm trying to remember if there was a scene like that...

Beren3000 · 07-18-2006, 06:33 AM

I think the woman is

that Seanchan officer Peerin teamed up with

My guess on the guy with is face vieled is Gaul.

Curub you are talking about the last few chapters of FoH, right?

Curubethion · 07-18-2006, 03:14 PM

Yes, I was talking about the last few fun chapters. You finished? What did you think of that cool little plot device?

B300: Hmm...I don't think that would be it. The woman you're talking about wouldn't be in a dress, but in the armor typical of her folk, if you get what I mean.

Beren3000 · 07-19-2006, 07:38 AM

But IIRC

she was the only one looking at a map with Perrin

b.banner · 07-19-2006, 11:55 AM

i thoght the guy with a Mustache could be Bashere but then who would the others be? but i do know that Logain is on the back so it can't be Perrin.

Yeah, but I'm sure she would be wearing her green-and-black armor. The cover art never gets everything totally right. For example: Perrin is depicted as being in the Stone when Rand grabs Callandor.

Pytt · 07-19-2006, 02:30 PM

The cover on my version is just the wheel and the aes sedai snake in gold. And I don't remember much of it, besides of the major bombs. I should read them from 1-11 sometimes soon, just to get the story and all the plots straight.

Not quite. A few more chapters but

I love the fact that Nynaeve has thought to use an a'dam on the Spider

Too bad it only works in the World of Dreams.

I have 4 more chapters and I'm done.

Curubethion · 07-20-2006, 08:03 PM

Heehee...I was reading your spoiler comment...well, just keep reading through the books.

Acalewia · 07-21-2006, 10:28 AM

I've finished FoH! Wow! the last few chapter was suspenseful and action packed.

I don't think Lanfear is dead

Is it me or did Nynaeve just send our cowardly Forsaken to Salidar?

I don't know what to call that last fight. I'd say duel but it wasn't excatly a duel. Am I making any sense?

Now I see how that works in the waking world.

Curubethion · 07-25-2006, 02:58 PM

Sweet, you're done! Wasn't that an awesome use of balefire?

Here's the two most-quoted lines in WoT, and they both come from FoH...
"You? No!"
"RAHVIN!"
We love to joke about how in the second quote, Rand got ahold of the Dark One's BIG VOICE MACHINE.

Also...can you see all the Moiraine-Gandalf parallels now? (Especially in FoH, at the very end...)

I agree on that. Although I think it was RAVIIIIIN!

*Eyebrows shoot up* I noticed. I've already figured out that "the balrog" has been reborn somehow

Curubethion · 07-26-2006, 03:10 PM

Okay, here's something to remember. You know about Moiraine's three letters, right? As you read through the series, keep track of which ones we get to read. Because one of those letters has a really big twist...

Acalewia · 07-27-2006, 01:26 PM

Three? I thought there was two: The one to Rand and the one to Thom

*uses balefire on the rule

*

Curubethion · 07-27-2006, 11:29 PM

There was also one to Lan, which is pretty self-explanatory.

BTW, if you balefired the rule, how come it still whacked my posts yesterday?

Acalewia · 07-28-2006, 01:15 PM

Hmm. I think my balefire is broken

I didn't realize she wrote a letter to Lan. We've read Rand's.

She knew she was going to battle Lanfear and die.

Btw, is this comment a bit of a hint:

I just picked up WoT again for lack of something to read. I had promised myself I wouldn't read it again 'till it was done, but I gave in with the supposed next book being the last.

When I first picked it up the series was at Path of Daggers. I read through that just in time to catch Winter's Heart, but then I had to wait so long for CoT that I ended up reading through the whole series again a few months before CoT. Then, when I bought CoT I just didn't get into it. I actually only read about 200 pages and put the book aside, which isn't like me even on average books.

Anyway, I've heard KoD was a lot better, so I'm looking forward to that one. Currently I've just completed The Great Hunt. It's definitely a series that is much better on the re-read since there are so many plots that take several books to unfold and the second (or third, for me) time through you can pick them up earlier in the story.

Curubethion · 07-28-2006, 01:45 PM

Hey, good luck! It's definitely worth re-reading! I'll have to get around to doing that...

KoD is definitely much better. CoT is mainly setup, so if you can get through that, you'll be great. Although I did get lost in some parts...I just tend to skim those.

Acally: Well, I'm not saying anything about that comment...it may or may not be a hint...
