So I work with children with autism, and I’m conflicted with this thought. On one hand, I can see the danger they can cause when they learn how to channel while not being fully aware. On the other hand, most people with autism are just happy go lucky, and causing them to have depression after cutting them from the source would be heartbreaking.

Book wise, I can see the White Tower doing it as they can see autism as a form of madness.

What book in the series best captures the essence of everything Wheel of Time?

My take is probably TSR or LoC because they both have lots of epic sections, but still lots of downtime. They have incredible world expansion and exploration, intense battles, politics, surprise moments, peak character moments and interactions, Forsaken plots, and conclusions that drastically change aspects of the narrative.

They both have a feeling of epic ever-expanding narratives but still at times have that smalltown feeling from the first few books, that's missing from the later books. They also both have some slower sections that hint a bit at the slog to come (although I think only CoT is the slog).

What do you all think?

Why nobody in the white tower think about simply asking every sedai to swear they are from the black ajah ? If the oath react, they are not from it, otherwise they are in for sure.

I know it's a taboo for them but once it's established the black ajah exist, there's absolutely no reasons to not do that.

So I know that Matt's connection to the Finns is maintained after he leaves their realm. It's central to his plot. I'm wondering about the moment when he is killed in Andor and Rand reverses it by killing Rahvin with insanely powerful balefire. Though his death is reversed, it severs his connection to the horn (which was established much before his connection to the Finns.) Why didn't this also sever his connection to the finns?

Thought you all might appreciate what appears to be a sincere dedication between 2 people who seem to love these books as much as the rest of us. I believe the copyright was 93’ but unclear when the note was.

I’m collecting these editions, but sadly couldn’t grab this one since I was traveling- hope it finds one of you though!

But uh...if Heaven is on fire...should...shouldn't we call the fire brigade? Or does Rand put out the fires too? Maybe putting out the fires is the true Last Battle we made along the w-

Many Easter eggs in this one, some quite obscure! Enjoy! Full resolultion should be 3000 x 4500 pixels, so if you aren't seeing that, then you need to download the image. I'll write notes eventually, but there are many!

Enjoy, and happy hunting!

In Siuan Sanche’s bio it mentions that the hall was deadlocked between 4 candidates for the Amyrlin Seat after the death of Siuan’s predecessor Marith Jaen.

All of these had worn the shawl for 50 years or less, so who were the other 3 besides Siuan?

I’m thinking Bera Harkin(Green), Carlinya Sorevin(White), and Beonin(Grey). Thoughts?

Let's say about... 50 years post last battle
