I don't like audio books, what are the judgements on chapter 2?

Naked Galad in warrior pose!

[Marie]

I have been saying Galad wrong apparently.

[jan]

*curious* How did you say it?

[Olivia]

I've been saying it wrong too, it seems. I've always pronounced "Galad" as rhyming with "ballad". The Perrin PoV also showed me I say Faile wrongly too, just as "fail", but I already knew that. Oh well, I've been pronouncing them that way in my head for years and years now, so it's too late for me to change it.

Thanks for linking, Marie! Not a bad chapter, though like others I am tired of Perrin's leadership issues which he's been going in circles about since book four. I'm curious what Faile was going to say to him before he cut her off though. Ooh, and I definitely want to see another Faile/Berelain confrontation in this book, those two are hilariously annoying together.

[Brynefan]

I used to say Galad differently in the past, but I've said it like this for a while now. Glad I was correct at last.

I rhymed it with "salad". At least I can say Moiraine! Thank you French class.

[AshSnow]

I've always been bad with names I'm sure I say most of them wrong....
And I agree with you Olivia on Perrin! He needs to get over that and accept it and go with it.

Placed my Pre-order for the book

[~Romanda~]

So.

Someone has read the book early. I pm'd him about Moiraine.

Spoiler

He told me that Moiraine does not show up until the end of the book and that Mat and Co. do not go to the Tower until the last two or three chapters.

Now. Maybe he has not actually read the book.

Also, about her condition:

Spoiler

It's Mat's PoV and when she appears she is awake but weak.

[Marie]

I am a responsible webmistress and will not say foul words.

But you all know I am thinking them very very very HARD.

[~Romanda~]

I have said them but will not type them.

[Marie]

I am so disappointed. So very, very disappointed. I suppose now I have a week to get used to said disappointment. My avatar seems very appropriate!

[Sam]

that is such poppycock

[Ekho]

...Maybe I'll read the book from back to front

[Marie]

This news has decided for me that I shall be reading the ending first. Normally I frown on such behavior but not this time!
