Then that explains how you read through the series so fast

we'll see

Curubethion · 07-29-2006, 12:43 PM

BTW, does anyone have a link to the ISAM summaries? My link to the one on the Atari boards isn't working...

Here's a great link I found on Wotmania.com: Princess Bride and WoT!
http://www.wotmania.com/fanfictiondisplay.asp?ID=159
But there's a Winter's Heart Spoiler in it.

EDIT: Here's some seperate links to summaries:
EOTW
TGH
TDR
TSR
FOH
LOC
COS

The Lord of Chaos is my favorite summary.

Acalewia · 07-31-2006, 04:59 PM

Is there any WoT message boards out there? I haven't seen any except for tarvalon.net

Curubethion · 07-31-2006, 10:46 PM

www.wotmania.com, which is awesome. But beware of spoilers. They just abound.

i'm glad Perrin got Faile back in KoD now he can see to other matters like Masema

Curubethion · 08-01-2006, 11:55 PM

Gotta love that siggy, b.banner!

And regarding that spoiler, I was actually getting kinda sick of that whole plot. It's like, enough whining about how much you want to have her back!

Seriously? I loved that plot; it was one of the things that made book 10 berarable to me!

Curubethion · 08-02-2006, 06:20 PM

I dunno. It got a bit tiresome, because he didn't really want her back for anyone other than himself. A bit selfish, if you ask me. And repeated over four or five books...

I think that's arguable: he was also rescuing Morgase and that-other-queen-whose-name-I-forgot. Yes, at the end of the day he was only doing this for Faile, but you have to excuse him. Besides, I thought this whole quest gave his character an interesting new dimension.

Curubethion · 08-03-2006, 11:34 PM

Yeah. I still think he's a really cool character, simply because of his wolf-ness. I mean, how cool is it that he can talk with wolves?

Much cooler than just dancing with 'em.

Acalewia · 08-07-2006, 05:11 PM

And even better that he's cool with it now

Curubethion · 08-07-2006, 08:30 PM

PERRIN: I hate wolves.

PERRIN: Okay, I don't hate wolves.

PERRIN: I hate Crossroads of Twilight.

I'm in the middle of TSR right now. Hands down my favorite of the series with Rand finding out about his history and his future with the Aiel and Perrin returning back home, finding out about his parents and then rallying the Two Rivers.

Curubethion · 08-08-2006, 03:00 PM

Oh, yes, some very fun stuff happens there. But I prefer CoS hands down, if it's only because of the end duels.

But NOT because of Tylin.

This is my third time through, so I know them pretty well. But the stories through TSR > FoH > LoC are definitely some of the best.

b.banner · 08-08-2006, 04:16 PM

i'm also glad that Elayne is finally queen

i hope there is more Rand pov's in book twelve and maybe more Thom pov's he hasn't had one since TSR!

Acalewia · 08-09-2006, 01:12 PM

What the hey!

What is Alanna's deal with bonding the Dragon Reborn!!! I know she's a Green but come on!

I think I had some Dreamwalkers messing with my head last night. I had a dream I was an Aiel Aes Sedai fighting Trollocs along side with Rand. Weird.
