I think he just thinks CoS wasn't boring.

Ok I was referring to JoeC's post where he said "308 pages into Crown of Swords" when he's already posted on the 14th of having completed CoS.

gotcha. I was reacting to his synopsis and reactions rather than paying attention to the book title. Even though I cited it.

A couple thoughts for Joe:
The Bowl of the Winds can draw on saidin by itself. Some ter'angreal can do that. (Just so you aren't waiting for a random channeler to pop out.)

Morgase has abdicated the throne, which is irrevocable. This happens right before the Seanchan attack the Whitecloaks and she's thinking about jumping out the window. It's not a huge scene, so it's easy to miss. She's having a difficult time readjusting to life now.

I agree, the scenes with the Forsaken are great. And the action picks up a little later so hang in there. Thanks for the update!

I do remember the scene  with Morgase. She kinda mutters that to herself before getting ready to jump out.

Also, I forgot to put in a little nugget of information I picked up. When Cadsuane is talking to Allana, an ornament in her hair goes cool when Alanna channels (I don't know why she did channel in that scene BTW) I think Cadsuane has a terengal just like Mat's foxhead medallion. I like her, and I imagine being the oldest Aes Sedai alive she must have a few tricks up her sleeve.

She makes for an interesting character, though.

I think that's a bit harsh there, Caddy just doesn't want Rand to act like an isolent little child is all.  :D Nynaeve was a way worse bully then Caddy, she asks for respect with gentle words compared to the switch and constant hair tugging of Nynaeve.

No Cadsuane is incredibly arrogant, so much so that I've wondered if she weren't a Black Sister.  It would account for her being so old when the rod tends to shorten life span.

Where Rand is concerned, Cadsuane is just Elaida without the red shawl.  Really toxic personality.  But then she is from Far Madding.

I liked Path of Daggers a lot, I think Rand's climactic scene is awesome.

I was just giving her a nick name like Eggy for Egwene.

Cadsuane just wants to keep Rand from becoming Evil she is not evil herself.
