I really enjoy when they are all together too. They have a lot of funny moments. Can't remember the exact part but I really enjoyed this banter. I LOL'd (Book 2 spoiler - just banter between characters) (view spoiler)

Ha! their banter are very enjoyable and those are the moments that I can bear to be in company, other than that I just can't stand that guy.

Haha Nynaeve? Really? ;) but yea (view spoiler)

Sedat Yıldız | 73 comments ?? How can you hate Mat ??

I know.. I know he is a pain in the ass sometimes :) But still I really enjoy reading his POV, his silly thoughts and "Burn me Rand"s..

But I get you, in the early books he does not really have a focus and aim, but he'll get better I promise :P

Nynaeve though.. I went as far as book 7 and still (view spoiler)

Basically Jordan has a really twisted view of boys and girls.. I mean I can't really imagine a guy like Perrin who understands little about what the women think about and I can't imagine a Nyneave in really life either..

i was not looking forward to Mat in coming books but if you say, I will try to be a little soft when I read the next installment. it's good that one can't harm these characters otherwise i would have killed him in first book itself for stealing and keeping it a secret. :P:P

twisted view of boys and girls

ha! that defines perfectly main characters for now... i wonder how mature these characters will be at the start/end of the final book...

Ivy | 15 comments Ugh I can’t see any of the spoiler tags thru this app!!! Dying to know what you all think. I’ll make sure to pop on here at lunch tomorrow when I’m on my PC at work. I feel left out :(


message 138: by Mason (new)

Mason (mason_gatti) | 193 comments I really wish they would update the app. I read somewhere that said they were working on an update. Some of the features you can use on the computer would be nice.


message 139: by Sedat (new)

Sedat Yıldız | 73 comments Yeah app is not sufficient, you can look through spoilers if you open goodreads with your browser. You can also go into desktop mode in browser if you like.. I too only use it for spoiler use :)

Just need to comment on your Shadow Rising Spoilers (view spoiler)


message 143: by Ivy (new)

Ivy | 15 comments I think I'm caught up on the discussion.... I'm still plugging away at the Great Hunt. Currently in the middle of chapter 32.

During my initial read of the series, I didn't care for Mat that much. I thought he was worse than a whiner...he really was a woolhead. My opinion changed though and by the end of the series he was one of my favorites. During this re-read of the Great Hunt, I noticed some hints dropped about why Mat hates Aes Sedai so much. Its super freaking subtle.

Nynaeve is my favorite character but there are times when Jordan doesn't write her well. I think once you get to the Brandon Sanderson installments you will like her a lot more. She's a complex person, and the weird male/female vibes in Jordan's writing don't do her justice. She gets accused of being crabby and/or thinking she's above everyone. She is better than Elyane IMO, but that's another post for another day.

I'd argue her flaws are her way of hiding the fact that she cares for those men so much but she doesn't want to be vulnerable because she's either been hurt or is afraid of being hurt again. In Book One (view spoiler)

Does she have a temper? Yep. I love it, although I'm prone to slamming doors until the house rattles on occasion!

Then Mason said, "He (Mat) has potential at least unlike Nynaeve." LOLOLOLOLOL *Starts humming Hamilton**Just you wait, just you wait!*

Hoping to finish the Great Hunt this weekend so I can move on to The Dragon Reborn. I'm really having a lot of fun reading everyone's comments on here and would like to try and catch up.

You left me very curious about those subtle hints why Mat hates Aes Sedai that much.. So much to read

Also your thoughts on Nynaeve kind of made me think, thanks for that one because for the moment I’m still forcing myself to like her and most of the time wonder why people like her... Hopefuly I’ll like her eventually as people eventually will like Mat :)

I love her, but a good friend of mine hated her so much he stopped reading the series after book 5. *shrugs* To each their own!


message 146: by Rob (new)

Rob (robzak) | 876 comments Hmm. I stopped getting notifications for this thread.

I will say that I started the series with Lan and Perrin as my favorites while disliking Mat and Nyneave. By the end Mat and Nyneave are my favorites.

I liked both far more on my reread as a result.

I'll be curious to see if people's opinions change by the end of the series.
