Siuan did not raise her voice, but it took on an edge, as always when she spoke of Lord Bryne. She tossed her head angrily inside the deep hood of her cloak and made a sound like a cat spitting.

Many thanks to the author for the cat gif set-up!

"I told you to stay low, Morr. Not to go asking the Seanchan their plans! To look and stay low!

I love how Morr seems to think that simply asking the enemy what they're up to is a really smart plan! 😂

A ball of... something... appeared in the air, a dead black globe. The birds went still, silent; somehow, Graendal knew they had frozen in terror.

It must be scary if even the birds are freaked out! Usually birds just give you that "F*** you, I'm a bird" attitude!

"Hang them," Perrin said. Having given the order, he made himself watch. What was it Gaul had said? "Everything changes." He just never thought that he would have to change, too.

That was so epic! So this is what they mean by "Shit just got real"! :o

"My Lord can be assured that whatever he confides in me will never pass my lips to another. The ability to keep secrets is a primary skill of a secretary."

Balwer says he's great at keeping secrets and then proceeds to blab about secrets he was told? Dude, you're not as smooth as you think you are!

Outrage flared in her like thorns. He expected Faile to be angry when he chose Berelain to go. Faile knew he did not want to send her into danger, a fact that she disliked more than Berelain.

He thought he heard thunder, but he had almost stopped believing it would ever rain again. You hammered the iron that lay on your anvil instead of daydreaming about working silver.

Nicely worded, Perrin. I love a good analogy...or a good 90's music reference!

"You wish to take me?" Aviendha shouted. "Then come dance with me!"
The Power's glow abruptly surrounded her, and balls of fire sprang into being from her hands and sprayed through the gateway again and again.

Aviendha, you have reached Nynaeve levels of awesomeness! Hold your head up high!

Dozens of soldiers swept around in painted helmets that looked like the heads of huge insects. Behind then came a woman with red panels bearing silver lightning on her skirts.

The Seanchan empire may be cruel and ruthless, but they sure do have some cool armor! Kinda like someone else I know...

Nynaeve had no such compunctions, elbowing past and running hard, shouting for people to get out of her way when she stumbled into them whether they were Windfinders, Kinswomen, or Aes Sedai.

Now I'm just picturing what would happen if someone told Nynaeve to get out of the way...
