Comment on The Gathering Storm Review – Part 1: Characters by eric

a couple quick comments as i am listening:

first of all, i love the podcast, keep it coming. i would love for you guys to delve further into some of your more tangential theories (you will often cut off a discussion saying “if we get into that we might end up with a 2 hour podcast – go for it!)

second, you say that cadsuane “got lucky” that her schemes, since while they didnt have exactly her desired results they had a beneficial effect in the end, could that not be due to rands ta’veren influence? she is clearly a significant figure in his life and destiny and is therefore more than likely caught in his web of influence.

third, you have spoken several times in earlier pods about the theme of acceptance of ones destiny bringing release – matt accepts his leadership with the band and his past memories and becomes badass, perrin finally “mans up” and becomes a leader while reconciling his inner wolf, egwene growing to be a true amrylin, etc. doesnt rand have the same kind (admittedly in a much darker and more resigned way) of catharsis by accepting his role and fate before his eventual (and far more sudden and dramatic) metamorphosis into his true final form?

lastly, sorry for the long post, i got carried away, good stuff!

Hey! This comment is a bit late in the game, but… I’ve enjoyed listening to your podcasts about your favorite scenes in the WoT books It’s been so long since I read the earlier books that these podcasts made me remember all the awesomeness and I ended up re-reading a lot of my favorite scenes. Thanks!

Heh, in reference to Mat and Elayne, I thought it was hilarious when somebody (Egwene, I think), noted as Elayne left that she sounds like a stable-hand. Thanks for the podcast, it’s always fun to listen to your views on the series.

Close but outside the City Wals. Caemlyn has been described as a Fortress city many times. Mats not there, does Talmanes try and save Caemlyn or does he try and get the Dragons and probably as many people as he can out?

The city may be on fire but the Band of the Red Hand are close

I’m really interested to hear what you guys have to say about the prophecies concerning Perrin’s death. Do either of you two believe he’s gonna sacrifice his life for Rands, thus saving him for the second time? I’m really worried for the guy and just after he became awesome again! I never thought about Lanfear helping with Callandor but it makes a lot of sense. That would make it the two strongest women helping him. Interesting. I would have to vote for the “fast forward machine” used by aviendha as the best part of the book. It’s amazing that even at this point in the narrative new elements are still being added that make you question how it will all end. It’s why I love it so much.

Now, why would Verin be interested in the Aiel? Let alone knowing so much about them and their ways?! Avienda mention that there was something strange about the stranger clothing yet she couldn’t tell what… I tend to think it was Lenefir, she knew the Aiel from the legend times and she also used their services as an Aie Sedai – but what is her motivation to help them? Why would she bother?
That I don’t know. Yet she did care to for so many things she shouldn’t.

It was somewhat love story – with all the little love stories acknowledging their “faith”.
I can’t say I didn’t feel – “Light, it’s about time”. But for some reason I don’t believe that this whole series would end in just one more book!
It’s seems that whatever happened in Avienda story line will need at the very list one more book….
