lol, Asmo

Ah well, at least Asmodean is still being awesome

What?

(reads the chapter where Nynaeve spies on Mog spying on Lanfear and the others) Really... THIS is the extent of the Forsaken's scheming abilities? Lure Rand to one of them, where he'll be on guard and surrounded by men, and then surprise attack him with 3 channelers linked together?

 

Rather than... I don't know, linking the 4 of them together, and rushing in through a gateway while he's asleep and off guard and taking him that way?

I'm right before the big battle with the Shaido.

 

... I really do not get Mat's appeal. It'd be one (though still very small) thing if he supposedly gets better later on, but this is after the point where people supposedly started loving him. (though I still heavily contest that fact) He's just a selfish whiner. That's all I see when I read him. He does not have a single positive relationship with anyone and his chapters don't work very well in making him likeable at all.

 

It's probably just me, but I find it baffling

actually mat gets much better later on..

It's just people apparently started loving him in book 3... that's when I started NOT liking him

I got annoyed (on my first read that is) but sooner you'll get what everybody likes,,and hate(perrin/faile)

 

 

And Egwene. (apparently. I don't like her either)

Egwene is a VERY polarizing figure.

...Farewell, Couladin. The coolest Aiel in the series... and he isn't even given the luxury of an on-screen death :(

Yep, teenage boy.

I didn't like his off-screen death either...

 

Oh, and you'll soon enough find out about Asmo...

and finished Book 5.

 

... best ending so far. Out of the first 5 books at least. The best by a coniderable margain. Rahvin was awesome... he should've lasted longer. The Pattern screwed him over. :(

 

I really didn't like Mogheiden's fate though. A shame since I really liked her too.

 

Started book 6. I already love Demandred, I'm not even sure why, he hasn't done much of anything

Then now, for you, starts the search for the answer to the question "where is Demandred?" Even as of now, there is no evidence to who he is, only a lot of evidence of who he is NOT.

Does Demandred actually do anything? As in, competent, villainous, scheming stuff

maybe he does (off screen) , btw LoC is one of my favorites (except for some parts)

Well, I'm a guy who likes it when villains do stuff. Stuff against the protagonists. These first 5 books have been kinda devoid of defeats for Rand. and that annoys me

Most likely, yes, as the Dark One seems to be very pleased about what he has done.

 

However, while we have ideas, we don't know for sure what he has been up to.

Also, is it me or does the Dark One seem a bit too... nice?

Well, unleashing balefire can end in the world fading to nothing... Doesn't sound really nice to me.

I guess I just wasn't expecting him to sound so... civil. I half expected him to ask if Demandred was thirsty or perhaps wanted a complimentary rice cake. XD

All the best villains are civil. Just because you are evil incarnate doesn't mean you have to be rude.

 

Cucumber sandwich? Spot of tea? No? Okay on to business. *balefire*

Does Demandred hate his fellow Chosen? He didn't seem to mind sharing his rule with any who survive

They all hate each other.

 

As someone, I won't say who, but someone says at some point "It's easy to see what the Forsaken want. They just want the Dark One to honor them and for that, they are fighting each other all the time [note: at the moment they aren't because Ishamael/Moridin forbids them, and they are, as of yet, afraid to try to get Nae'blis in his place], but the Dark One himself, well, it's not sure what he wants." Notice this is said by someone who did a STUDY on him and the Forsaken for 40 years, if I remember correctly.

isn't having them all fighting each other kinda... counterproductive. If they had worked together from the beginning they would've won long ago
