Re: What was most saddest thing in the books of R.Jordan ?

Hmm, no one really dies in The Wheel of Time. I see you havn't read very far, but to not give much away, I would have to say what happens at the begining of TGH when Rand must leave Egwene. At that point in the series I was rooting for Egwene to end up with him, but later on that becomes happy since I learned to hate Egwene.

I echo this. Even the minor bad guys don't stay dead. I suppose that's pretty sad...

Beaten to it. That is truly the saddest part of what could've been an excellent series. I've given up until he finishes the series.

Re: What was most saddest thing in the books of R.Jordan ?

When Jordan tried to explain the Green Man and the Blight and the differences between.

That made me sad, literally.



Actually, the emotionally saddest part for me is reading about Rand trying to remember every name of every woman that had died under the flag of the Dragon Reborn. I just wanted to give that poor kid a big old hug.

oh, i think for me, it was kinda sad when he had to leave his father, and then when he found out he was teh dragon reborn, that was kinda sad too.
and back then, when that happened, i actually cared!

Re: What was most saddest thing in the books of R.Jordan ?

I felt miserable when Moiraine got herself killed trying to save that ill-bred stuck-up farmboy but later I understood that she's not so dead after all.
The saddest thing, anyway, is the fact that the series actually continues... admit it, the books should have been less.

Re: What was most saddest thing in the books of R.Jordan ?

Got to book 11 and I have to say the saddest thing was really an "oh, no, that's bad" moment. It was awful And I think it'll continue to be sad.

I can feel it in the earth... I can smell it in the air...

*sniff sniff tugs braid*

Re: What was most saddest thing in the books of R.Jordan ?

When Moiraine fell through the Ter'angreal definetly, but also when Lanfear fell through. I really liked Lanfear!

Spoiler!






Also when Siuan got deposed as the Amyrlin Seat! I thought she was great as the Amyrlin and although i like Elaida i wanted Siuan to stay! When she found her Warder dead outside was quite sad too!

It's more implied than actually stated outright. But I think Thom will go to the land of foxes and save her, with music and his blades.

And yes, it the series did go on a bit too long, but I still like it and hope that Jordan will be able to finish it in the next year. He has been quite ill.

Re: What was most saddest thing in the books of R.Jordan ?

She left a letter to Thom, which Mat read in Knife of Dreams, basically saying that she was not dead. She wrote it before she went to the docks in Cairhein and she knew what would happen because of the Ter'angreal she went into in the Aiel Waste!

So in the next book one of the main storylines anticipated is that Mat, Thom and one other man Moiraine did not know would go and save her...or she foresore them all dying aswell.
