Towers of Midnight Thread [Merged]

I still haven't finished the book.

 

A word to the wise: drinking smirnoff while reading WOT is not always such a good idea.

[Kaitlin 22]

I'd have to agree, though I would add grey goose and cranberry juice to that.

[Brynefan 2]

Yaaaay! I got the book! I did nothing but read between 1pm and 7pm I even took the bus home instead of the train to get more time for undisturbed reading.

About the Whitecloaks:

 

 

I knew before that they are a bunch of corrupt idiots, but during the trolloc attack I realized the full extent of it. These people have been running around in the safer parts of the world, harassing random persons they thought were darkfriends, while not at all trying to fight real Shadowspawn. Galad got their morale all up for fighting in the Last Battle, but they were totally unprepared for the DO's forces. It's horrible and sad at the same time.

I would have gotten it 1 day after it came out but I goofed on the address since I moved and it's new to me!! ><. But it's here NOW TODAY !!!

How many have finished it already? Curious.

[Sivart Reborn 7]

Technically I have. Although I didn't read it in a linear fashion at all. I skipped over the chapters regarding characters I wanted to explode initially, and read the Moiraine bits early.

[Erika 4]

I have finished.

Wow fast reader.

 

I had the book in my hands... but it was buy it or buy for my father's birthday.

 

I did what I must. I think I shall make it MINE today!

 

"Strum of the harp and a sudden disappearance!"

[Marie 73]

There is a part where Thom says something like "we'll be out of here in two strums of the harp" and I instantly thought of our own Asmo.

And I reappear to BURST with pride!

I know we've already discussed this but oh I just read where Graendal narrowly escapes Rands FORCE OF LIGHT moment! SOoooooooooooo cool. It's funny how overtime she's evolved into perhaps my favorite among the Forsaken. Ironic as to my namesake but each of the Forsaken have a special place on some level or another.

 

All so evil and freaky but Graendal is a survivor. And I was really quite thrown off by her offscreen killing last year.... It just seemed too neat. Of course she got away! Love it!

I'm actually quite liking Rand and Mat this book. Perrin is...sigh. Perrin.

[Ekho 52]

I still wasn't impressed with Rand, but that may now just be out of habit.

 

The whole Rand+Lews Therin combined personality kinda seems like cheating.

[Cerendrallion 32]

Brandon Sanderson cheats a lot though - Mellar just 'happened' to run off with the fake foxhead medallion. Though I suppose you could construe that as Mat's luck...

 

How absolutely mad was Elayne to do that? Crazy.

What was with all the cursing in this book? And I mean literal "cursing". Seriously, go to one of the action scenes and count how many times you see phrases like "Cursing, he raised his bow..." or "She saw the body and cursed".

 

For Mat or Elayne or even Siuan this is understandable, but why would the gholam or the bloodknives or Slayer bother cursing so much while they fight, or Egwene? Egwene is almost as prudish as Nynaeve; she should not be cursing that often. And I don't remember Perrin being such a sailor-mouth either.
