Just finished a reread of great hunt, I had forgotten how unlikable Matt was while still linked to the dagger. At least after the trip through the portal stones, he started moving more towards the Matt we all love at the end of the series. All that said, if Perinn wasn't stuck with Faile, he'd be my favorite character, instead of Matt

Between that (although I also use that time for podcasts) and listening as I fall asleep, I'm about halfway into book five within 2 months.

The Lord Bude posted:The best use of audiobooks ever was Tamora Pierce's work. She had them done with a full cast of voice actors, like a radio play or something. More people should do that. The Deathlands series does this as well. Graphic Audio made them.

Yeah I just finished that book, Laman's sword was power wrought and, while I haven't hit Dumais well's yet, I'm pretty sure he loses it there along with the other stuff they took from him.

Not with that ridiculous jealousy of Faile's.

Yeah but Perrin has said to her, multiple times, that he's not interested in Berelin, and Faile is all, "well he hasn't screamed at me or tried to hit me yet, so he must be lying".

# ¿ Jan 22, 2020 00:24 |
Yeah, Perrin also isn't free from blame. They just needed to talk about things like adults, but instead we get CW relationship drama

Yeah I just finished listening to the first time Egwene had to serve Eliada dinner and this grey sister is such a quivering wreck as Eliada just torments her. I really like MOST of Egwene in the tower, but she's a loving monster in her own way.

Spoilers for the Last Battle: Where the gently caress did Moghedian come from? The last I remember, she got sucked into Shadar Logoth during the cleansing, then she's suddenly jumping around impersonating Demandred. Also, what happened to Grendal? After the explosion turned her compulsion back onto her, did Avendiha just keep her around or execute her? I think I was falling asleep during that part of the audiobook because I don't remember.

The Notorious ZSB posted:Maybe Berelain was genuinely attracted to Perrin, but none of her overtures ever came off to me as anything more than her political maneuvering. She really wants to be in a position close the Dragon Reborn to secure Mayene's continued autonomy and I think she believes Perrin is the easiest way to achieve that. She isn't successful, but unlike Faile I don't think she ever truly cared about or understood what Perrin cared for. If so many of her chapters hadn't been tangled up with MURDEROUSLY JEALOUS OF EVERYTHING bullshit, especially when Berelin was involved, Faile would have been great, because you're right, she's super competent, driven, and intelligent. She honestly loves Perrin and the two of them together are way more powerful than they would have been apart. But that jealousy throughline is so off putting, especially alongside the "i will never tell you what I want" bullshit.

I should probably go and listen to their show ones. I'm on part three of the great hunt finale Edit: I don't want to sound down on the podcast, I really enjoy it and like supporting my chicago people, but listening to multiple episodes in a row, like I do on my days off when I'm outside with the dogs playing video games, certain things begin to grate on you.

dual hand axes is actually a really solid combo, back in college when i did combat club, i could take down folks who were way better than i was at the swords or staves with those axes. A good parry allows you to trap their blade for enough time to close in and attack their core.

FLIPADELPHIA posted:The weapon props have been very hit or miss in the show so far though. Those axes..... /shudder i thought they were cool. Anyways, my dad is watching this and is a non book reader, He thinks Nynaeve is the dragon, but i reminded him that we learned, in show, that she's too old, just like Logain. His second guess is Rand because he's got the least going on with him.

Nion posted:The waygate is probably my least favorite change so far. Not only is the description in the books infinitely cooler than whatever that was, it requiring channeling makes no sense at all. Did some darkfriend channeller escort the trollocs to the Two Rivers and then just leave without caring about the probable Dragon Reborn nearby? I really hope that the generic cavern interior is only next to the waygates and that we get a good version of the ways next episode. YEs, I did not like that and had the same thoughts. Did anyone else catch that Moiraine said she didn't know Nynaeve could channel? Are women unable to sense those who can channel now? She picked up on Egwene right away. As a whole, loved the episode. Absolutely ADORED Moirane shutting Liandrine down and their whole rivalry.
