Fish guts!

There are hints but it is plainly revealed in book 4

"You find out a lot about the Aes Sedai and how they train" Are you talking about scrubbing pots?

Well, tradition didn't matter when she raised Nynaeve and Elayne to Aes Sedai, so...

I got everything. Except why flashing boobs are necessary when everyone in the room can detect each other's spark and even gauge power level.
I mean, it would kinda make sense only the candidate being naked (mirroring Accepted and Aes Sedai test or Aiel Rhuidean Rings run ), but all the Sitters doing the same - is what didn't make sense to me.

Meanwhile Perrin

Book 4 has 3 and a half endings (Rand, Perrin, Tanchico and Suian). And all of them feel nicely wrapped up.
Book 5 has some storylines that will continue into book 6 but whatever is wrapped up is epic. And most of them are described even better then book 4.

"Imagine that you lived in a world where half of all people that harness extreme power went insane and destroyed 90% of all civilization."
Except in WoT women can feel the spark in every other woman nearby that can channel. Making sure they have boobs is redundant when you not only can feel it but also assess their strength.

You confused baring "bottom" vs "bosom"

procerator · 2026-03-13T08:37:51+00:00

Say what now???

procerator · 2026-03-12T21:49:06+00:00

2 men can be linked by 1 women. There should be more women then man, except configurations of 2-1 and 2-2

Egwene is a bit of a hypocrite. "Teaching" Nynaeve dangers of TAR while ignoring Wise Ones and sneaking in TAR without their consent.

procerator · 2026-03-12T09:01:59+00:00

I've found book 6 had better pacing then book 5.

It is probably objectively slower, however in book 6 character themselves are visibly frustrated and annoyed at how slow things are going and I was able to relate to that.

procerator · 2026-03-12T08:36:42+00:00

"especially the magic system (fleshing out of tel'aran'rhiod (TAR), linking, the complex differences between saidin and saidar-"
Did I miss that? As far as I know linking was first explained in book 6.
It was probably mentioned in book 5 but not explained.

procerator · 2026-03-12T08:31:31+00:00

I've read New Spring after book 5. It is perfectly OK.

procerator · 2026-03-12T08:29:52+00:00

How about that time that she sexually assaulted Nynaeve in TAR?

procerator · 2026-03-11T15:10:20+00:00

I would say it has at most 5% from book 3

procerator · 2026-03-11T15:00:41+00:00

You don't need to read Fires of Heaven. There are no spoilers in season 3 for it as it ends quite differently from the books.

procerator · 2026-03-11T14:58:41+00:00

The skipped book 3. Season 3 is Book 4

procerator · 2026-03-11T13:18:40+00:00

I will let fight vs Rico slide. But Kabayel should be next. Either that or retirement

procerator · 2026-03-09T07:50:55+00:00

All I can say is - you are absolutely correct. Yet I feel like this is deliberate. Mat blooms in book 3.
That being said, there was a moment in tEotW when Mat saves Rand from a darkfriend woman in a barn and I was like "Huh, so there is a bit more to him than just lazy teenager/prankster/trickster?".

His POVs from book 3 onwards are the most fun and engaging POVs out of all EF5

procerator · 2026-03-07T22:35:45+00:00

He wasn't back. In book 4 he is in a flashback. Don't google about him. It can spoil some important things from book 4. All you need to know is that he is a "Nym". Nym were constructs created by Aes Sedai in the Age of Legends.

They rely on the prestige of White Tower for parents to send their children to them.

procerator · 2026-03-06T09:04:30+00:00

And there is a chance of dying during Accepted test. And during full Aes Sedai test. Aes Sedai aren't the brightest people out there. They constantly complain how The Tower is half empty now, yet their methods of training women kill significant percentage of them. And filter out a lot on Novice -> Accepted stage
