This may turn out to be the page that best describes me on the entire internet. Who knows, perhaps I'll learn something about myself?
I have just been selected as one of the Memory Keepers for the AMoL book tour…
I will give you more info ASAP, but I will be accepting ‘questions’ aka if there’s anything you Tumblrites want me to ask Mr. Sanderson or Ms. McDougal, I will choose the best questions offered and gladly post their answers here if I’m able.
*cries at the fact I have exams and so couldn’t apply*
THE GOLDEN CRANE FLIES FOR TARMON GAI’DON! THE GOLDEN CRANE FLIES FOR TARMON GAI’DON! THE GOLDEN CRANE FLIES FOR TARMON GAI’DON!
FUCK YES.
I’VE JUST REACHED THAT SCENE IN MY REREAD.
*SNIFFLES*
The moment in a re-read when you’ve reached the pause before one of the most intense feels-generating scenes in the series.
And you freeze. And as the scene begins you get chills.
This is why I love re-reading series.
(In this case it was right before we get to read Moiarines letter to Thom).
Why?! WHY WOULD SOMEONE DO THAT?! :’(
Egwene is awesome. She is my third favorite character in Wheel of Time, after Mat and Rand.
I’m not an Egwene hater by any means, and I really do like her. It’s just that she has some huge blind-spots when it comes to a) the Seanchan and b) the three ta’veren. See for instance ToM where she thinks that she resisted the ta’veren influence in The Amrylins Anger, rather than realising the Pattern needed her to speak to Rand. (Whether her conclusions on the seals are right or wrong I’ll leave up for debate)

An interesting analysis of some of the sexism inherent in Wheel of Time.
The author makes a few very good points, but I ultimately still think that Wheel of Time is one of the most feminist book series I have ever read. Yes, even though…
Hmmm I think generally I agree with the rebuttal here, rather than the original article.
Wheel of Time 30 Day Challenge- Day 5 Which character in the series do you most identify with?
Hmmmm…. this is hard. I hate questions like this.
Well obviously Rand, I mean, I was born to like save the world, and go mad doing it.
Ok, not really.
I don’t think I can identify with the three ta’veren really. Hmmm…. Uhhhh…..
I’m drawing a blank here guys.
Perhaps Loial. He likes reading I like reading. He doesn’t rush decisions, and neither do I. There we go. I AM LOIAL.
Problem Solved.
