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

I think you have this backwards; when I hear Lena Headey 300 pops into my mind. But yea I don't know quite how big she was pre-GoT. I had no idea who Dinklage was beforehand though.

and Bean didn't stick around long, whereas Moraine is supposed to be more of the focus of WoT-TV. Who knows, though.

Just finished the last battle chapter.

One big complaint I had most of the series is the insane amount of plot armor all the main characters have. Well there goes that! It was also wild to see how much poo poo Demandred hosed up.

Only 4ish hours left in the audiobook. Feels odd after listening to this for almost 3 years now.

If you play chill no plot games like minecraft, throwing on an audiobook is also a perfect time. 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 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.

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.

The hate for Faile I think is a little overblown. She's not really anymore stubborn, headstrong, or rude than any of our other female protags, but since Perrin is such a nice boy who takes it I think folks tend to see her more negatively. She's not my favorite character and the entire capture arc is boring af, but I really never quite agreed with the extreme distaste for her. She's highly competent, and works tirelessly to ensure her husband is successful, supported, and safe. In as dangerous a world as the WoT is for really anyone, Perrin is lucky to have such a loyal resourceful partner.

I always had a way bigger distaste for Tuon and Matt's "romance".

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.

Agreed.

And I can't also help feel that Androl stole Logain's narrative purpose and almost all of his screen time.

That's the only thing I didn't like about Androl, his sudden importance took time away from Logain.

I really thought I was gonna hate Stepin and his goofy axes. Still don't like the axes but it was really great to see Lan bro down with someone.

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.

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.
