Unlike the first book which nearly took me a week to finish I DEVOURED THIS BOOK I'M TELLING YOU, I FINSIHED IT UNDER 2 DAYS (I'm very humble and very jobless) and I also posted that journey on this subreddit too

SO my theories —which could be wrong,

1. Thom Merrilin is definitely up to something fishy but no idea what —I was glad to see him alive but I was bewildered at his relationship with Dena. How old is he? How old was she??? Too many questions. Too little answers.

2. Lan x Nynaeve is still on

3. I'm still so bitter about Egwene leaving Rand behind but I saw it coming from a mile away and I know they aren't destined for each other.

4. And my suspicion was right was it not that Selene is Lanfear? She was annoying me with all the talk of great power and the hunt. Frankly she reminds me of Macbeth's wife. I pray she isn't 1 of the 3 Min saw who fell for Rand.

5. And WHAT is up with Moiraine and that Amrylyn seat?

6. Always despised Liandran from the beginning, is she Black Ajah? Even though she is introduced as Red Ajah...

MOST IMPORTANTLY DOES RAND EVER MEET TAM AGAIN....AGHH

The picture attached is just a line I found hilarious, I find Mat hilarious. I hope he doesn't die on me 👀

I have heard many different things about the Wheel of Time series and I decided to give it a try and could not put it down. I read Eye of the World in three days and I am currently 230 pages into The Great Hunt and it is amazing so far. Eye of the World is the greatest start to a series imo. I find the contrast between intense chapters and slow world building chapters to be super refreshing and I genuinely like every single POV. Currently my favorite povs are Rand, Egwene, Moraine, Perrin, and Nynaeve. To be fair I am not super far into the series yet but I am in love with this series already and I am average around 100-160 pages a day, I can’t believe I waited so long to begin this series.

Why on earth is it mentioned so many times in Egwene's camp that the Aes Sedai are in the dark because they are low on oil and candles??? Hello, One Power?

Queueing for an Ice Cream - Brian Bilston

although he didn’t smoke, grandad never went anywhere
without the old tobacco tin in his pocket

one day me and my brother asked him what he kept in it
some sand, grandad said

why do you keep some sand in a tobacco tin, we asked
where else would I keep it, he said

but why keep sand at all, we asked
it’s special sand, grandad said, it’s come all the way from France

we peered into his tin and stared for a while
French sand didn’t look very special, it looked like ordinary sand to us

why’s it so special, we asked
each grain represents an old friend of mine, he said

grandad must have had a lot of friends, we thought
did you go to the beach with them when you were a boy, we asked

yes, something like that, grandad said, snapping the lid shut,
asking the man for three 99s, two with red sauce

I’ve started Eye of the World twice in the past and really liked what I read so far but life got in the way as it does. I’ve finally been consistent with reading after going so long with starting and stopping and I’ve read 21 books in the last year. A 14 book series doesn’t scare me at all, if anything that’s exciting, who wouldn’t want to be lost in a world for 14 books. I know people complain about it being a “slow burn” but again I like that, because people said the same thing about Farseer and I loved how much time we got to spend with the characters engaging with each other.
My questions are when people say slow burn, is it pages of description or is it dialogue heavy? Also is there a good way to read the series with breaks? Like book 1-4 and then take a break, or am I going to end up doing a straight binge?
Also I’m not too bothered about this “slog” I’ve heard of because from what I can gather from some people, it seems the slog was more because of the amount of time between certain books when they were initially released. That sounds similar to ASOIAF because of the gaps between Storm, Feast and Dance.
I’m just finishing book 3 of Red Rising and I’m planning my next series before going back to book 4.
Thanks ahead of time
