****Spoiler - read at own risk******
There is never any resolution of the Liandrin conflict, nor do we learn more about her motivations. I think she attended the darkfriends' meeting described at the beginning by "Bors" (who I think is the commander of the Children of the Light, the one who gave the orders that mystified his subordinates). I hope her character is explored further in the next book. She was one of my favourite characters in this one (in a love-to-despise sort of way).

Just this one. I can't speak to the books that follow, as I haven't yet read them :)

I look forward to it! Book 3 is The Dragon Reborn, Susan?

1. We got to see a lot more Ogier in this section. What did you think of them and their village?
2. There were some suspicions about what the Aiel women were really doing. Do you think they are looking for Rand or that it was a coincidence?
3. When Rand was trying to use the Portal stone, everyone got a glimpse at possible lives. What did you think of Rand's other possibilites? What do you think were Verin and Ingtar's?
4. Liandrin has finally shown her true colors! How do you think her betrayal will turn out for her and the rest of the Aes Sedai? Do you think she'll get away with it?
5. Poor Egwene! Do you think Nynaeve and Elayne can save her before the ship arrives?
