Perrin: Faile, I think Slayer is Lord Luc.

Good job Perrin, everyone else worked that out about 30s after Luc was introduced 😂

Ah, there it is. The great Cadsuane and Sorilea cliffhanger about them teaching Rand to love and laugh again “resolved” in a throwaway sentence after several books of studiously not being mentioned 🤣

Perrin’s story should be interesting and engaging but… it just isn’t. Not the same extent as Mat or Egwene or any of the other main characters.

A succulent meal, Faile? A succulent Chinese meal.

They really are teasing us with the time jump.

Sheriam was Black Ajah. We kind of expected that.

But wait, there’s more! Let me fill you i- oh! A distraction. Well, anyway… Boom, new chapter, another jump forward 🤣

Huge quantities of yada yada of important events 🤣 Understandable with Sanderson having to take over, but funny none the less.

Some of the things that have been bypassed include Cadsuane and Sorilea supposedly teaching Rand to feel, love and laugh? It was a cliff hanger at the end a few books ago and even Jordan just ignored it 🤣

Teasing us with a Mat and Elayne odd couple adventure? For shame.

We are really yada-yada-jng through a lot here. Apparently Rand and Lews Therin and reintegrated in some way now too? 🤣

Next chapter is the final battle then the next three and a half books are just epilogue 😄

One sentence is all it takes to unify the tower, put Egwene on the Amlyrin seat for good and have Elaida captured by the Seanchan.

Quite the sentence 🤣

The first chapter is only 5%? It’s like Sanderson isn’t even trying 🤣

Good stuff so far though, nicely setting the tone.
