Rands epiphany on Dragonmount is me favorite part of the whole series. Rand goes from his lowest low to suddenly Super Rand

I loved it, key part of the character analysis video I’m doing on him

Some refer to Rand as DarthRand in this book. The Egwene chapters have some great storytelling. Brando did a great job with the last 3 books. There are a few issues, but every issue is far less than the alternative of no ending to the series.

When I read this one I instantly knew it was my favorite. This one was so good, and in combination with knife of dreams and the last two, this series ends so much better than I ever expected

Just had this video recommended to me by a friend. I love your enthusiasm for all these beloved characters 🥰 happy reading!!!

I'm gonna be honest despite your questionable pronunciations you really... GET... This series. I'm loving your review of this book which isn't perfect but really well done all things considered. Also you remember things from the plot that took me 2 or 3 reads to really get. I clicked on this by accident honestly but I'm now subscribed so win win?

Just finished new spring today!

Your pronunciations kill me! 😭😂 Nice recap!

I felt the same with the Perrin/Galad thing. I didn't even realize it for a while and then was so confused and looked for a missed chapter

I just started watching your channel for the later Wheel of Time reviews, and they are all awesome! I really enjoy your insight and thoughts on the series as a whole. One subtle but in my opinion hilarious piece of foreshadowing was when Jordan is laying out Rodel’s plans to the reader as to how he plans to fight back the Seachean in an epilogue in book 9 or 10 I think, and he says something along the lines of “this plan should work, I’ve calculated every possible angle short of the Dragon Reborn himself showing up”. I read that and knew something was up, so that little payoff was funny to me.

Thanks! I love all the little callbacks and funny bits that Jordan set up

SPOILERS!! READ ONLY ONCE YOU'VE FINISHED TOWERS OF MIDNIGHT. You and Verin both overestimate Mat's curiosity when he believes he is entangled in an Aes Sedai web.

Great summary and character reviews. I really enjoy seeing the excitement and enjoyment you are experiencing reading these. Reminds me of when I read these the first time as they were released. Hope you enjoy the final two. Some unbelievable twists coming.

Dude, you seem just as excited and giddy with the book as me when I finished it. It's great to see.

The Timelines are a little out of sync for where Perrins story is, you didn't miss anything. I could not agree more, Brandon really did a outstanding job in a hard place. I have my niggles with some specific characters but I don't know how he could have done a better Job. Looking forward to the next one :)

Well that took 6 days. Does anyone remember sleep? Used to be a thing. So epic, Darth Rand + Verin + Seanchan raid + Tam reunion plus the end of dragonmount. Wowwww Brandon!

THis is the book that inspired me to make the 30 minute Rand video

one of the most detailed review out there thx!. Book 12 was my favorite next to the 4. But the last 4 Books are all superb.

I LOVE this book so much. Great review!

The Gathering Storm has got to be my fave book of the series. Egwene's culminating moment? Hinderstap? Rand's epiphany and that epilogue of sunlight streaming down through the clouds?????

The end of this book is so emotional, it was great. Sad that Jordan didn't get to write these payoffs of the stuff he's been building on for books, but sanderson did a great job.

I agree, favorite WOT book

I wholeheartedly agree regarding Rand and Tam! That sequence was so powerful and RJ wrote the perfect fallow up scene where Tam confronts Cadsuane. It makes me want to tear up and cheer and I love it😁🙏🏻

Rand chapters are mostly Jordan in the gathering storm, that's what Sanderson said

They split the book in 2, all your questions get answered, I think you are gonna like it.

Totally agree you with that Gawyn gets too much flack from the fans. It’s because he made a very bad decision in book 4. He supported Elaida and (worse) killed Hammar, his mentor warder. That was cold. But yeah, his actions in book 12 aren’t all that bad.

Yea that really left a bad taste in my mouth

I fully support everyone pronouncing things as they see fit. But I will laugh at some. Ajas pronounced as Ahas cracked me up 😂 I mean no offense it was just the first time I’ve heard it like that and it was awesome.

Haha gotta add a little Spanish flair to it

I think the moment where Rand was going to genocide the Seanchan probably deserves some discussion. On the one hand, they're awful, enslaving monsters, but on the other, such an act would have probably broken Rand and the world.

On the Gawyne hate. I think it is inflated by re-reads, because you read him making the same dumb mistakes over again. I think he is a brilliantly written character, just kind of painful. How many of us can honestly claim we wouldnt have made some of the same dumb choices at that age? Enjoyed your commentary.

Yea I like him

Will no one actually help you with the pronunciations, or did I miss it? "Shawn-chan" not Seachan.. Ajah like "Rajah", and "Eyes"- Sedai, not a hard A like you said. Oh and "swan" not see-wan (Siuan Sanche). Mispronouncing a word just means you learned it from reading. Great summary and enjoyed your enthusiasm.

Thanks! I’ve been told quite a few times lol. It does make the story somewhat my own and I’ll usually fix these things on my second read through of a book/series

Dude… Ajah is not pronounced “Ahah” - the Old Tongue was not a variant of Spanish 😂.

Why are you making the low resolution settings like 144p unavailable on you videos now? Some people may be on viewing on mobile with slow or bad signal. Maybe its because you are a model or something and feel the need to force people to watch you in HD? Dont you think thats a bit narcissistic? By the way im writing this with tongue in cheek. Just giving you a hard time cause its a bit annoying.

I had no clue that was even a choice, I didn’t change any settings from the last video. It seems to be available in 360p, maybe 144 just hasn’t been implemented yet because it was just uploaded?

Please learn to pronounce some of the names you are saying why do you even pronounce Elaida as Eladia? Or Seanchan as Seachan?
