WOT 12 - The Gathering Storm - SPOILERS

[Nassau]

Ok, started a new thread to talk about it while other people are still re-reading the series or (OMG!) reading a different one! (Not looking at anybody in particular, nudge, nudge).

So first impressions: I liked it! I thought it had great pace and a good ending.

Verin: So NOT purple ajah! Didn't think she was black though (as such).

Egwene: You go girl!

Elaida: Haaaaaaaaa!

Rand: I really thought he was going to off Tam and then really go mad. Finally able to laugh again.

Will come back when I think of something else.

Interesting idea - she's a long shot though,isn't she,with Nynaeve and Egwene and Elayne and Aviendha in the running? It's hard to see what will bring him to kneel before the Crystal throne,especially with his attempt to make peace with the Seanchan failing.I need to re-read,but the thought of starting with The Eye of the World is a bit daunting!

I thought the prophesies from Luthair Pendragon were corrupted by the Forsaken, Ismael maybe? It may not be accurate...
