WoT Book 11: Knife of Dreams

[Rackhir]

I've read the previous books, but next to nothing happened in #9 and nothing at all happened in #10 (Oopps Should have made that a spoiler!). I'll just have a coffee at the book store and read through it there. I'm not spending any more money on Jordan novels.

I'm not going to argue that nothing happened in Crossroads of Twilight, but don't you think

cleansing the taint

was something?

Of course, I think A Crown of Swords and Winter's Heart are quite a bit better than Lord of Chaos, even if The Path of Daggers was just bad and Crossroads of Twilight was dull.

That was the one event of significance that occured in the book. It also only took like a chapter maybe two at the very end of the novel. I consider that next to nothing in a book the size of Winter's Heart.

A New Spring

A New Spring reminded me of what it was like to enjoy the Wheel of Time.

Good to hear. I have that in paperback and plan to start reading that after I get through "Knife".

Any thoughts on Rand, Xath?

Nothing other than that he'll die at the end of book 12. And leave lots of children behind. Cripes! Which of his girlfriends isn't pregnant?!

Also, I think he's part of a Shaaran prophecy, but who knows if Jordan will ever get to that?

I'm interested to see what happens to Matt and the Daughter of the Nine Moons.

Nothing other than that he'll die at the end of book 12.

But, be resurrected by Nynaeve after three days.

 

[Starman]

I think Rand is going to die in this book. No, seriously.... That is my prediction.

Hmmm, I don't think he'll die until The Last Battle, but he will almost certainly lose his hand in this next book.

I hope they do find Moiraine. That would be pretty cool.

It's going to happen at some point. One of Min's visions was that Rand would not succeed without the aid of a woman who died and came back or some such. That would be Moiraine.

Could be, but I also think it is possible for him to **really die and still be present at the Last Battle... It gives him a more messianic theme. It might also infuse a little blood into the series and recapture tens of thousands of readers.

** Pretty much given that folks will think him dead at some point in the book.

So why Perrin chasing Faile again. I quite at like book 4 or 5 when she was captured. They have been apart longer than they have been together. Its time to move on Perrin get some other girl and be free.
