I would personally be a bit disappointed if A Memory of Light simply presents the Dark One being defeated and then we do it all again in 7 Ages, etc, etc, etc.  It reeks too much of Stephen King's The DArk Tower when we learn that Roland just loops back to The Gunslinger again over and over and over again.  Even there though, the final end hints that that repetitious cycle will eventually be broken.

I want the same for the ending to The Wheel of Time.  That's why I think the last book is going to be so long and so complicated.  There needs to be a LOT of metaphysical explanation for this Tarmon Gaidon to be any different from the 8 billion previous Tarmon Gaidons that's been replayed before with the spinning of the Wheel . . .

im pretty sure RJ said that this wasnt going to be different from any other turning of the wheel

iv always pictured juilin as black.. i thought the ebou dar ppl were more hispanic coz they're described with the olive skin where juilin is carved from dark wood, not literally of course lol that would be weird.

i just read the whole it where rand first meets elaida when he falls over the wall and it didnt even mention her eye colour let alone her skin or hair

miyabi is a dude? lol i assumed with the pinky purple writing and the commenting on his looks that he was a she

The one section 1.1.6 of the Wheel of Time FAQ is about.

There, I think that was a sufficiently non-spoiler way to specify it.

brilliant thanks alot for that (apologies if that sounds sarcastic i am actually being serious) this is gonna be a great read

Too early for that, it's only the fourth or fifth time he channels.  If he started going insane that quickly he would have gotten a lot worse before Winter's Heart than he did.

Maybe he's not insane 'cause of the channeling. Maybe he just has a disease.

yes and maybe the 1 of the pink psychiatrist ajah will prescribe him some risperidone and cure him  maybe hes not really the dragon reborn and hes just suffering from delusions of grandeur

*runs off to check the book before saying anything*

the voice he hears at tarwins gap presents alot like the voice of the DO when the forsaken go to SG, with it being all in capitals and not from shouting just coz of the sheer force of the voice and with the way it vibrates his skull.  The fact hes not at SG and the fact its basically saying hes the 1 chosen to defeat the DO i think we can cross him off the list so that pretty much just leaves the creator. unless theres some other god-like powers that we haven't been told about lol

i actually enjoyed the books, and can i just say i'd never read a romance book in my entire life lol. But saying that i did go through all 4 books in 3 days because they were so simple and didnt really require the slightest bit of intelligent thought. It was kinda like watching a ditzy chick flick because you're too distracted or tired to get ur brain to function properly. Something to take the edge off the boredom without requiring the use of too many brain cells

Oh and i hated edward, hes an idiot. Although i have to admit i hated bella slightly more than him.

is it anything like wotmud?
