The Prologue of Lord of Chaos is a thing of terrible savagery. By that I mean that it savages you, the reader, over the course of its 50 ish pages by showing you just how many character's Jordan is following and setting up, for this novel alone. It's a punishing read, not because it is not interesting, but because it makes you weep for...

Wheel of Time Cycle Re-Read
After an embarrassingly slow read through I finally finished Fires of Heaven last night. Thankfully the second half of the book had more going on that the first, including the introduction of another major character (seriously the roster is getting crowded and there are still plenty more to come), a pair of major battles, and three Foresaken...
... or a lack thereof.
No excuses. I haven't been posting regularly. That's because I haven't gotten very far in the past 2 months. I have hit the muddy middle and my pace has slow from 70-100 pages a week on average to less than half that. The pace of the books themselves has likewise slowed, with so much time being spent on...

I've been thinking about this little blog some and I find I have somewhat gotten away from what I had wanted to do originally. Recaps and discussion of plot points yes, but I wanted to do other stuff. I'm going to remedy that.

Showdown in Tanchico
Elayne, Nynaeve, Thom, and Julin infiltrate the Panarch's Palace in Tanchico looking for a ter'angreal that means bad mojo for Rand as it would allow a woman (of the Foresaken or Black Ajah flavor) to control him, much in the same way that sul'dam control damane through the...

Doorways, Foxes & Snakes
Two ter'angreals, one leads to the realm of the Foxkin (Eelfinn) and one to the realm of the Snakekin (Aelfinn). The snakes give true answers to any three questions, the foxes grant three "wishes", though there is a price to be paid in return. Mat goes into the first in the...

The Shadow Rising picks up shortly after the end of book three, with everybody still in Tear. Rand is apparently the de-facto ruler of Tear now, and Perrin and Mat both are getting the lordly treatment, which both claim to not want, and yet both are slipping rather inevitably toward.

And it's done. As usual for these books hundreds of pages of build up exploded in scarcely under a hundred pages as characters came together, battle was joined, and the light triumphed once more.
Callandor, better than a letter opener by far
