We’ve got spoilers unclothed and running free below!

1) How long do you think Birgitte will be able to keep her identity mostly secret? What do you think the Salidar Aes Sedai would do with Birgitte if they knew?

2) What good, if any, will come out of Siuan's and Nynaeve's agreement? Is Nynaeve smoking leave and reaching for the stars?

3) Elayne and Min had a little heart to heart. How do you think this will affect their relationship in the future?

4) What do you think of Rand's latest ways of dealing with the never-ending parade of court ladies?

5) Rand received two interesting letters from the White Tower. Should he trust either? How do you think this latest 'news' from Tar Valon will affect his actions?

6) Do you think Mat will be scarred for life by the death of Melindrha? What about their last encounter triggered her attack?

7) Moiraine and Lanfear: they have passed through the doorframe ter'angreal. Assumptions have been made that both are dead. If they are, how do you see that affecting the ones left behind? If one or both were to reappear later, how do you think that would happen?

8) Rand had a very intense discussion with Sulin. Do you think that Rand will be able to overcome his hesitancy to harm women in light of that discussion and Moiraine's sacrifice?
