Speaking of the future: Elder Haman FAILS, apparently. Okay, that’s probably harsh, or something, but man. I’m not clear on how much time passes between this scene and Olver’s scene at the end of ToM, but I’d really have thought finding the Waygates in the major cities, like, oh, say, Caemlyn, would be a top priority. But I’d be wrong, apparently! Sheesh. My Lord Dragon, I will serve you where you command, but I can serve best on my native soil. I know these rebels, know where they can be trusted and where-“

Seriously, Cadsuane, in three hundred-plus years of living you MUST have encountered a way to make people listen to your otherwise perfectly sound advice that doesn’t involve publically humiliating them. In front of people from whom it is vitally important to have respect, too! Also, The Dark Lord is touching our World and many creepy and unsettling things are happening all over the place - it does not look good for the followers of the Light, particularity since the Dark Friends plan of "Let Chaos Rule" has worked waaaaaay better than expected... We are getting closer and closer to the Last Battle... The dead are walking, men die impossible deaths, and it seems as though reality itself has become unstable…

Chapter 29 has three points of view, two of which are from Perrin Aybara's POV. His first is 43% of the chapter and his second is 47% of the chapter.

Remarkable was hardly the word. A hundred wagons or only fifty – only! – incredible was more like it. Would merchants start using those things instead of horses? It hardly seemed likely. Merchants were conservative folk, not known for leaping at new ways of doing things. For some reason, Lews Therin began laughing again. Tsutama is angry over the events that happened at Dumai's Wells, where she believes that three of her own Ajah perished. What is more, news of what happened on that fateful day is slowly spreading throughout the White Tower, no matter how hard they try to contain the information. Faced with Tsutama's anger, Pevara wishes that the third Sitter of the Red, Duhara Basaheen, was here. However, she had left the Tower approximately one week ago. Ishamael: = Ba'alzamon, bodily stabbed through heart by Rand with Callandor in the Stone of Tear. Resurrected as Moridin and granted full access to the 'True Power', oh no it drives people crazy even faster whatever will he do? Aginor: Killed by Rand at the Eye of the World; resurrected as Osan'gar, hid himself as an Ashaman and now who cares because he was killed again during the cleansing at Shadar Logoth.

Mat continues to travel through Altara with Valan Luca’s traveling circus. Along the way he grows closer with Tuon. Thom reveals to Mat that Moiraine is alive and being held captive by the Aelfinn and Eelfinn. They formulate a plan to infiltrate the Finn’s world using the Tower of Ghenjei thanks to Olver’s knowledge of the game of Snakes and Foxes. Mat and Noal agree to accompany Thom on his mission to save Moiraine. For this cover, the long, long-awaited eleventh entry in the tens-of-millions-selling Wheel of Time series, the choices of amazing, fantastic settings was boundless. All of these magnificent sights, some inspiring, some terrifying, were available: Min made a sound in her throat, and the bond carried sadness so bleak it almost overwhelmed the burst of love that came with it. So. It must have been death she saw. But she had been wrong about Moiraine. Maybe this viewing could be changed by a ta’veren.

Of course, I don’t wish this too hard, seeing as buying silk is probably going to become a rather low priority for Randlandians in the very near future. Along with any other commodity you can’t either eat or kill things with. Nothing like the end of the world to get folks to cut down on the consumerism, I always say! Elayne. I like Elayne! I like her rashness, her peppiness, her strength, and her ability to browbeat even Nynaeve when necessary. I hated her prolonged "secure the throne" arc. As soon as possible!” Rand snapped, slamming his fist down on the chair arm hard enough to make the wood creak loudly.

His breath caught, and he stretched out a hand, brushed a finger across the heavy gold signet ring on the cord. Across the crane in flight. How had she come by this? Under the Light, how? “I recognize it,” he told her, his voice suddenly hoarse. Finally, Faile is rescued by her husband! This side story has been pending for eternity! It was time to be done with it. Galina thinks she did a clever thing but then she realizes that her slavery to the Shaido has not ended. Matrim has the maximum footage in this book and the prophecy of him getting married to Tuon, the Daughter of the Nine Moons will be fulfilled. I can’t say I was a big fan of his story though. It was OK most of the time. Things I cannot stomach are not many. Mostly, I think it is time to talk about how Mr Jordan uses corporeal punishments because they are the ultimate answer to every trouble. If throughout the series you drank every time someone is being slapped on a bare butt, you’d need a liver transplant by now. And really - am I the only one disgusted here by the fact that corporeal punishment is the automatic go-to then something must be achieved be it by anyone, be it Darkfriends or Aes Sedai? To make matters worse, this revelling in being beaten turns the book into a weird BDSM party Aiel style (if we can imagine the Aiel to party hard).
