“you have made a place in my heart where i thought there was no room for anything else. you have made flowers grow where i cultivated dust and stones. remember this, on this journey you insist on making. if you die, i will not survive you long.” he gave nynaeve one of his rare smiles. if it did not exactly soften his face, at least it made it less hard.

I’m a big Nynaeve fan although I know a lot of people despise her. Did you watch the Amazon series by any chance?

i have not watched it yet! a friend really loves it so, it's been on my radar but, yesterday i decided to look at the casting of nynaeve and lan (legit after posting this update) and i was very moved. i think i might start it soon just because of their casting... and the casting for everyone in general is really good, tbh. also, the magic of wot is something that sounds like it would be absolutely beautiful adapted so, i really want to see that.
I adore Mat!!! His character arc is one of my favorites. And yes, the hate Nynaeve gets is very misogynistic. Personally I loved the WoT show but it got a lot of hate from some book readers who don't understand how adaptations of novels work. The typical "casting is too woke" BS and "that's not how it is in the book" comments. I actually don't mind when the screen version takes a different direction. The casting was perfection IMO and I was just thrilled to see one of my favorite series on screen. Extremely sad it was cancelled sigh.
I'm enjoying your updates as you go through the novels! Do you think you will plow through all of them or take breaks? I think what helped me was switching back and forth between the ebook and the audiobook.
