Chapter 21 (Listen to the Wind)

Life often gets in the way of what one would really like to be doing.

Chapter 20 (Dust on the Wind)

This chapter starts out with action and never quite settles down - so much changes in one chapter that it's almost like right here is where the real story is supposed to start.  The rest was just background, just getting the reader going and now Jordan is ready to take off.

Chapter Nineteen (Shadow's Waiting)

Never once have I stopped reading, but when the keyboard on the old laptop got too hot to touch and there was a new laptop on the way, it was a difficult decision, I decided to wait to renew inputting my notes into OneNote.  So here we are, in Shadar Logath.

Chapter Eighteen (The Caemlyn Road)

Is it action that I need?  Well, no, because I liked many of the previous chapters.  Maybe I just don't like waiting?  This chapter was fun to read.  Maybe because I know what is to come, but only perhaps.  They're on the run again - more magic from Moraine, even flashy (well, "walking" over the wall was also flashy, but fire, fire's fun).  More of Lan's character is revealed as Jordan peels away a layer, now calling him "Last Lord of the Seven Towers."  Mat does something new and kind of cool and leaves me wondering how Jordan will tie it in.  Nynaeve's "concern battling dislike," even the Wisdom is showing herself to be human.

Chapter Seventeen (Watchers & Hunters)

My favorite part of this entire chapter is towards the end, but it'll have to wait.  Not a lot of meat happened in the chapter, but fun stuff happened.  The boys danced with Nynaeve and Moraine - certainly intimidating experiences for them now.  Later on, no time for dancing, but I wonder how the men they've grown into would handle it.  No more stumbling around for Rand?

Chapter Sixteen (The Wisdom)

It's an overall feel to this chapter, rather than scenes, that I like.  This chapter is "nice" but it actually kind of fades away.  I finished reading it probably a week ago, but never felt the need to sit down and write about it.  Now that I've finished reading and taking notes on a few more chapters, well, I really should get this one done.

Chapter Fifteen (Strangers & Friends)

This is a chapter I wanted to have done at the beginning, or at least the middle of the week, but work got so badly in the way that it wasn't possible.  Or rather, it was, but I choose instead to let my mind go after work instead of focus my thoughts.  Today, I actually only had about two paragraphs of notes to take on the summary of what happened and then digest it all myself, generally the hardest part of all, which is why I delayed it so long.  But now that I'm back into it, it's great - a chapter where I can love Mat for a few seconds and shake my head at Perrin and be frustrated with Rand.
