Szeth cant die, he is one of the new Night radiances (spelling??) He and Kaladin must survive and unite.
A lot of people describe Scalzi’s Old Man's War novels as military science fiction, but I would classify its sequel Zoë’s Tale as a space opera. It’s a story about, well, Zoë, a teenage girl whose parents are invited to take leadership roles in building a colony on a new planet. Zoë is an enthusiastic member of the group sent to colonize Roanoke, despite the risks—and the risks are considerable even before the political machinations of greater powers boil to the surface.

I partially agree about the Latra Posae thing. She is no more to blame than Lews Therin. All Aes Sedai knew that the greatest achievements the One Power created were the result of both halves being used. Lews Therin chose to act without the female Aes Sedai, and the results were catastrophic. I am not excusing the lack of action, I am saying that both sides were equally at fault.?? The reason LT did end the AoL, was becouse Saidin was tainted and drove him mad. He did work with Aes Sedai all the way until the end. He did use the tainted Saidin, THAT ended ages of legends. Not the lack of using combined Saidar/Saidin.
Actually, Cadsuane is closer to 300 than 270, and there is something about her that's different, although she is still way too arrogant and proud. A little hint without giving it away. Did you notice that the Kin, and the Wise Ones and Windfinders for that matter, look different than Aes Sedai? What is the one thing Aes Sedai do that other channeling groups do not?Yepp i saw that now, she is exactly 295 years old. She was however 267 years old in New spring, thats why i did remember that number i think. My mistake.
I will tell you now that Mat is not Artur Hawkwing reborn. If he was, then Artur Hawkwing would not have been there when Mat blew the horn in book 2. He is a reborn general from Manetheren, if anything.
I remember reading an explanation as to why Rand boots Perrin, but I am not sure if it was in the book or in an FAQ somewhere.
Reanne (leader of the Circle) also revealed that she is 412 years old. Merillille fainted at this news but I'm not entirely sure what the big deal was. If she was Aes Sedai or Accepted, wouldn't it be normal for her to age slower??I think the oldest Aes Sedai now living is about 270 years old. And thats VERY old according to Aes Sedai themselfs. You will meet her later on or maby you allredy did.. i dont remember when she turns up. It is a chock for the Aes Sedai to realise that a kin woman can be over 400 years old.
