Winter's Heart Thread

[Marie 73]

A little late in starting this, I suppose...

 

I'm actually a pinch over halfway through with the book. At this point I just want to finish the reread and wonder how I'll survive not skipping large portions of book ten. Anyway....

 

Cad is still making me laugh. Strangely I still kind of like Elayne, although it is probably safe to say Avi annoys me at the best of times, although that might just be her super-Aielness that rubs me the wrong way. Min can die in a fire. Also strange, I don't hate Rand yet.

 

Sex-crazed Nynaeve can get under my skin at times.

 

Spoiler for book 11

 

Every since I read Moiraine's letter I cannot stand Thom's man-whoring. I just want to box his ears!

 

 

I just want to hurry up and get to the good parts of the book.

My favorite scene was when Birg comes storming up to Avi and Min with the intent of cock-blocking Rand and Elayne, and Avi and Min have to beg Birg to let them get her drunk instead. It was funny after the retardedness of the scene immediately preceding it. And am I the only one who thinks Avi and Elayne are pillow friends by this point?

And am I the only one who thinks Avi and Elayne are pillow friends by this point?

 

No, I think they are too!

 

Out of all of them I feel sorry for Birgitte. She didn't sign up for that!

 

 

Riselle. She wasn't bad, but grrr Thom.

 

[Olivia 26]

Olver is very annoying, too. And I agree with you both that Thom is pretty slutty, even way back in TDR. >.

[Marie 73]

I'm afraid I have never been a believer on the Elayne/Avi angle. I mean...being pillow friends with someone you view as a sister is a bit, um, kinky for my tastes.

I'm glad not to be the only one who finds Olver annoying.

I think RJ put hints of Elayne/Avi because he has a straight-man fantasy about "doing" two sisters at once, which I've always thought to be a rather gross, and like you said a little too kinky, but I guess my angle on supporting El/Avi is that I'd rather have El/Avi than Rand/El or Rand/Avi.

[Marie 73]

Yes I think RJ put hints in for the lads, but not that they actually are doing it. Seriously, I think Elayne can be all kinds of stupid and annoying but I could see her sleeping with Moiraine before Avi. I'm pretty sure Laura wrote a fic about that once.

 

Also, I guess this is the point in the story where all these minor characters start to get a little mind numbing. I have a hard time remembering all these bit players. The Aes Sedai are blurring together, the Seanchan are just names without faces, etc.

[Marie 73]

I finished the book um, I don't know some odd days ago. Anyway, I loved this part when Juilin is saying how back in Tear people don't like Aes Sedai because they have never gotten to know one and Thom calls him his "fine Aes Sedai loving Tarien friend" and I laughed because soon Thom will be "loving" an Aes Sedai.

[Cerendrallion 32]

Ooh. This maybe major stupididy and perhaps my retreat from the WoT community in recent months, but the Avi/Elayne thing never actually occurred to me.

 

Jesus. That's one MESSED up love triangle/square. Though, as Rand is having sex with all three of them and they're fine with that, presumably he'd be fine with two of them sleeping with each other? Fair's fair and all.

*cough* threesome *cough*

[Iris 0]

i just encountered Tuon for the first time and I can't believe this chick is going to end up with Mat! They seemed even more mismatched than Thom and Mo! *puzzled expression*

[Kaitlin 22]

I love Tuon! She is good for Mat. Although, she is too good for Mat.

[Marie 73]

To be honest, I'd like better Tuon if she wasn't so gung-ho about leashing people. Her Seanchan ways make me like Mat more, which is so odd.

 

I think they'd have pretty babies, though.
