Finished The Dragon Reborn. Onto The Shadow Rising. My memory is the 3-5 are my favorite books, and this one didn't disappoint.

tDR ch 56 - A friend said that Jordan didn't really know how to do endings for the first books - this is the first book where I'd disagree

tDR ch 56 - And so we end. A few revelations (Lanfear, Aiel are people of the dragon), lingering questions (3 seals gone, 4 to go).

tDR ch 56 - Interesting question - how much is the Pattern at work making Rand know enough of what to do to get him to the Last Battle?

tDR ch 55 - In chasing Ishamael, the "dreams are what you make of them" aspect of WoD does show up. Death by Callandor can be resurrected.

tDR ch 55 - It's interesting to note how much the World of Dreams evolves in the later books from what it is now. I think I prefer a medium

tDR ch 55 - We're moving towards resolution. Mat rescues the girls, Perrin finds Faile. Rand in the World of Dreams.

tDR ch 54 - Lots of action, and Jordan does action scenes well. Well enough that I don't analyze them, just let myself be carried along.

tDR ch 54 (cont) - Egwene finds Joiya Byir + Perrin is in the stone. Other than liking Mat's action scenes, I have little opinion on "style"
7:20 PM Nov 29th

tDR ch 54 (cont) - Rand is in the Stone somehow (I'm not sure what I think of Jordan's decision to narrate this book without much Rand).

tDR ch 54 - So far Mat's danced with the Aiel and lived (we got to meet Rhuarc & Gaul again) + blew a hole in the Stone. Pretty cool.

-
tDR ch 53 - It's all coming to a head. And Perrin enters the wolf dream to find Faile.

tDR ch 52 - Mat finds out about the girls and plans to enter the Stone of Tear - he's a really fun character when he decides to be honorable

So, you have to wonder - does that mean that there isn't anything significant about 13 women except that they *should* be strong enough?

That prompts a thought. Rand often believes that 13 of the weakest Aes Sedai could shielf him, but not when he has sa-angreal...

tDR ch 51 - And ends with the girls captured. 13 Myrdaal/Aes Sedai always seens as significant, but never actually used in the series.

-
tDR ch 51 - Starts with a hint at Rand's presence in the city and Nynaeve's reaction to the "hopeless" people - not very forgiving.
9:01 PM Nov 27th

-
tDR ch 50 - In answer to my earlier question - Egwene noticed both the hopelessness of the people and also the wooden clogs.

tDr ch 50(2) - And we get to see Perrin smithing. I really like this scene, and I think it's one that almost everyone remembers.
