Nice.

About your spoiler...well, let's just say there's even more surprising things ahead.

Acalewia · 08-09-2006, 01:36 PM

I can imagine. The whole book is full of surprises

Curubethion · 08-16-2006, 11:43 PM

I love it. I think the evil smilie from Atharon would work perfect for the Black Sisters.
Yet another surprise:

If Targine(sp) was the wetlander Maiden of the Spear that was Rand's mother that would make Galad his halfbrother. Now what would he say about his half sister being in love with his half brother and his half brother being The Dragon Reborn. Lot of stuff for a Whitecloak to think on, huh?

Interesting

Curubethion · 08-17-2006, 09:32 PM

Yeah, that's one of the sub-plots that I have to go back and reread the books to catch up on.

RAND: Galad, I am your father.

GALAD:

RAND: Oh, wait...blood and bloody buttered onions...

More like blood and bloody flaming ashes

O wait that sounds more like Mat

Curubethion · 08-19-2006, 02:33 PM

Haha...

Wow, I am getting to be obsessed with WoT. Just the other day, I found out one of my friends was going to tell a teacher that he had dropped their class (he reads WoT too, by the way). So I promptly spit out, "Duty is heavier than a mountain, death lighter than a feather."

rael · 08-19-2006, 05:45 PM

well everyone talks about books alot and i must say this book and the concluding series is one of my favorites but still i have other books like eragon rangers apprentice harry potter and anyway i liked it

I would have loved to see his face when you said that

Curubethion · 08-20-2006, 10:15 PM

Oh, he laughed for quite a while. And of course I got a few blank looks from the other people at the table.

I've also come to the conclusion that my Class Ring is a sort of ter'angreal used to cast Compulsion on the freshies...

Acalewia · 08-21-2006, 06:27 PM

Roflmao!

Curubethion · 08-21-2006, 08:22 PM

Oh, wow, I am becoming obsessed...today I was talking to another friend (who also reads WoT), coaching him on how to pronounce "Dovie'andi se tovya sagain."

Man, I should learn the Old Tongue!

brownjenkins · 08-22-2006, 02:17 PM

I just finished Fires of Heaven last night, and I still have no idea

who killed asmo.

Me neither.

When you learn, Curub. Teach me!
I said something about channeling the other day and all I got was blank looks

Now I can't remember what I said.

Curubethion · 08-22-2006, 07:30 PM

Ah, yes, the ancient "whodunnit" of WoT! According to RJ, it's "inituitively obvious" who killed him. But fans can't seem to figure it out...

Beren3000 · 08-23-2006, 01:04 PM

For some time I thought

it was Moiraine striking from the grave

Curubethion · 08-23-2006, 07:39 PM

Now that would be fun, wouldn't it?

KoD Spoiler:

But obviously, it couldn't happen, since we now know that M is captured by the 'Finns, and therefore unable to do anything. My original idea: Lanfear, since she had the obvious motive of Asmo the weakling, therefore he should die. And she might have commissioned someone like Slayer to ditch Asmo.

brownjenkins · 08-24-2006, 01:37 PM

Morraine is an interesting suspect, but there is nothing that changed about Asmo before and after her disappearance to want him dead all of the sudden. She knew who Jasin was for a good bit and if she wanted him dead, why not do it before her disappearance, which she knew was going to happen soon.

Lanfear doesn't make sense either. Even if you assume she could somehow have gotten word to Slayer or something, it was Rand she really wanted dead at that point, not Asmo. If she was going to try and kill someone, it would be him first.

My original guess was Sammael, Graendal or Mazim Taim. But Sammael is basically disproven in LoC when he says he doesn't know if Asmo is dead or not and MT has no motive or means of recognition other than an order from Demandred (who may be his "employer"), but D doesn't know Asmo is dead in LoC.

For a bit I mused over one of the "good guys" killing him. Like maybe Aveindha per order of the Wise Ones. There is enough hinting in FoH to assume that she or they may have figured out who Jasin really was.

But after reading it this time, I'm back to Graendal. A few chapters into LoC she thinks about her visit to the Dark One and being almost promised as Nae'blis. This means that she must have done something to please the DO. And since she really hasn't done much at that point at all, killing Asmo is as good a guess as any.

interesting theory's brownjenkins

Acalewia · 08-24-2006, 08:27 PM

Indeed.

Nynaeve Healed stilling and gentling!!!! That is the biggest surprise yet! My jaw dropped when I read that. I still can't believe it.
