The Shadow Rising thread

[Marie 73]

Whoo-hoo! Book four. Not even half-way there, but plugging along.

[Asmodean82 0]

WoooWhoo! Shadow Rising is my favorite! All the build of the 1st three, with no turtle shell of the second to last. Hmmm, What does that sentence mean????

[Kaitlin 22]

Now I am on this one.

[Marie 73]

And now I am finished.

[Kaitlin 22]

I'm still not finished but will be soon.

 

I would like Avi a lot more for Rand if there wasn't the whole Elayne thing. Why couldn't he have had just three different relationships that didn't last instead of having them all at the same time? Also, I love Lanfear so much when she tries to be in disguise but I have to wait till 5 for the best parts.

 

Thom/Mo: He endeared himself to me during this book. Then he creeped me out with Elayne though Elayne creeped me out more so. Then, I forgave him because the creepiness stopped and there was goodness in those parts with Nyn. I realized he'd be the type of character that would bring out Mo's personality a little more and make scenes more fun but alas, there was to be no stuff like that in 4.

 

Still, love Nana.

 

I also love Mat.

 

*will write notes and put them here when the book is done*

[Marie 73]

• No prologue!
  
• I love Perrin trying to get out of Rand's bedchamber after his fight with his reflections because Rand/Mo are all *battle of wills* and Moiraine is all "bitch stay there!"
  
• Hints about Avi's channeling ability
  
• Thom/Moi awwwww. Don't you agree, Olivia?
  
• Siuan says "child" waaaaaaaay too much
  
• Elayne thinking Nynaeve is acting like Moiraine
  
• Haha, I love the discussion about Aes Sedai being the ones who should increase the stock of channelers in the world
  
• Rand can't abandon Moiraine in the Waste (my notes tend to revolve around Mo, don't they?)
  
• I couldn't remember if Lanfear was Keille or not, but I guessed right! woohoo
  
• Elayne drunk, haha
  
• What the hell song is playing right now
  
• Thom: everyone needs someone to care for. Awww, do you Thom? Does Moiraine? bow chicka bow bow
  
• Elayne thinking (incorrectly) that those thugs in Tanchico were after her
  
• The Cairhienin Black Ajah member who likes pervy things. So Cairhienin of her!
  
• An Aiel clan chief with brown hair! Light brown, but brown!

Thom/Moi awwwww. Don't you agree, Olivia?

 

The Cairhienin Black Ajah member who likes pervy things. So Cairhienin of her!

 

I can't remember that part. Please do elaborate!

 

An Aiel clan chief with brown hair! Light brown, but brown!

 

I think there's one Aiel Wise One who has black hair (and she toys with it alot). I think it's noted that dark hair is possible but extremely rare among Aiel.

@Marie: *sob* You're wanting me to read WoT again, and all those books are back in Delhi in my old life!

 

@Olivia: *hug* I know how you feel!

[Kaitlin 22]

Awe, Olivia, that is such a sweet picture of Moiraine tenderly holding Thom's head while he pukes. I knew you were one of us! gooble gobble? I was surprised that you would turn out to be, though, Jan!

[Vertex 23]

To me it looks as if Moiraine makes Thom puke. Maybe he ate her cookie?

[Kaitlin 22]

Maybe he pukes because he ate the cookie she had to make for some Ajah penance. Her baking is something no one should ingest. She helps him to puke to save his life... awe.

[Vertex 23]

*Awes* I bet Thom ate it was being all, "It's the best cookie I ever tasted," and risked death just to make her happy.

[Marie 73]

I think there's one Aiel Wise One who has black hair (and she toys with it alot). I think it's noted that dark hair is possible but extremely rare among Aiel.

 

I know, but I couldn't recall any other Aiel besides her with non-Kaitlin hair, which is why I was all "omg!" about it.

[Kaitlin 22]

The blondes are non-me!

 

I don't remember any others either.

[jan 14]

Maybe she's just poisoned Thom because she had a "What the f am I doing with this old man" moment. Now she's holding his head as he pukes and drops dead!
