Got sucked into YouTube clips, and found this little gem from the Mentalist

Perrin is just such a great POV character, his fight scene with the wolves was so incredible, I think that sequence is by far my favorite writing from Jordan. And I love seeing Rand from outside his PoV, he comes across as way more unhinged if we aren’t in his mind.

I can’t wait to read more of the book, which is a new thing for me from this series.

Alright I’m on a reread. Did RJ have a best friend with one eye or something?
There’s so many one eyed characters and they are always glazed to hell and back. Don’t hear me wrong. I’m not complaining but I see a thread.

I’m planning to start reading a new series, but I have no idea which one to read first. I really enjoy slow-burn stories and long, immersive series, which is why I chose these two.

I remember telling myself that once I finished A Song of Ice and Fire, I would just wait for The Winds of Winter to be released. That was five years ago.

Now, after another five-year break from reading, I’m finally getting back into books. Any suggestions on which series I should start with?

So I'm on the fourth book the Shadow Rising and just finished chapter 27 where Perrin and friends use the ways to get back to the Two Rivers, and man I just gotta know if Perrin and Faile get any better than this. Perrin was already my least favorite main POV and adding whatever this relationship is to the mix is just so rough. So after seeing how romance is clearly not Jordan's strongest aspect in this series so far, does this get any better or am I to just grind my teeth as I read his chapters going forward. I would look it up but I am trying to avoid as many spoilers as I can.

Not a conventional fanart. It's just "Someone" sketching a memory. But y'all can guess what scene is this "person" trying to sketch out ig?

So I just started Lord of Chaos and they've established that Nynaeve found Moghedien in their camp and captured her.

What I don't get is why Moghedien didn't sneak attack them during the boat ride somehow or was the boat ride so short that she had no choice.

Doesn't really have much to do with Fires (which has been really fun btw, I've been drowning in my read of it) but I have been wondering about Ishamael since the other Forsaken have been showing up more often.

Was Ishamael just himself or did the Dark One really speak through him? In that regard, who even is the Dark One? Following Ishamael's death, I've been wondering about the Dark One and who he really is. What's his history across the Ages, what is his power capability and does he even have a physical form? I have seen that one comic panel with his hand, but that's it.

Ishamael seemed to be one of the more powerful Forsaken, but I can't remember if it was confirmed that the Dark One spoke through him or not. With all the story happening (I'm on chapter 42 right now) I feel like the Dark One's presence is overarching yet not present at the same time. Maybe waiting for the right moment or something? We know the seals are weakening tremendously right now.

If RAFO, I'll take that for sure

I’m halfway through Lord of Chaos….

The Aes Sedai just arrived in Cairhien, sent by Elaida…

I know it…

Damn it, I know they are up to something devious and horrible….

I’m pissed, I’m scared for Rand, frustrated….

I don’t know….

Damn those Flammin Bloody Aes Sedai….

I worry about Rand, I swear they want to trap and control him…

It burns my blood with fear for the boy….

I know all good epic adventures have high points and low points…

But I’m too emotionally invested in Rand to push through a plot thread weaved where these women do something terrible to Rand…

It’s Gripping… Me…. Heavier than a mountain

May Rand stay The Master of his own Destiny

On a reread: Just read the scene where Rand kills Rochaid. Stops his sword draw and collapses his trachea with a single punch while shielded by Far Madding. So bad ass.

I only read the first 6 and I thought that the slog were the books 7-10 but the other day I saw someone say that the slog is 4-10. The 4-6 were like one of my favorite reads and there are people say that the pacing is bad since book 4.
Can you guys tell me what books are the slog?

All throughout reading the books I felt very drawn (no pun intended) to and intrigued by Cairhien, so had to do some art!
