Aviendha Min Mat Moiraine Lan Nynaeve Egwene Logain Elayne Rhuarc Don't ask me to assign numbers. It's been a few years and I'm probably forgetting someone.
Off the top of my head so nothing official... Nynaeve Moiraine Ishamael Shaidar Haran Faile Lanfear Demandred Aviendah Min Pedron Niall
My favorite sections of the entire series were just the Forsaken sitting around scheming. A lot of perfect/terrifying villains all around.
At the halfway point the ones that really stand out are: Rand Perrin Moraine Siuan Thom Aram Aviendha Edit: oh god. Loail is probably at the top. I just haven't heard from him in a while so he slipped my mind.
Siuan is also great... @scottlechowicz have you figured out when you're going to read the prequel yet?
I have Eye of the World on Audible. I think I'm going to start my re-read post-Oathbringer. That seems like an iconic time to start.
Oh, I also dig Birgette (just guessing on that spelling.) though she hasn't really gotten a chance to shine.
Lol I forgot all the Seanchan...They're like my favorite fantasy race ever. Tuon is top 3, The Empress too, Karede, Egeanin, Tylee.... The prophet was super interesting.
Book 8 is done. I appreciated that it was a little shorter. 14 damn books is too many books! Goodness. Book 9. Here we go.
It's why I listened to the audiobooks rather than read the books. I love the series and it means a lot to me but I am not sure I would have gotten through it without audiobooks, haha.
Uhhhh. What the fuck? Faile is kidnapped by Shaido who strip her naked and make her march through the snow. And she says it's "a little insulting" that none of her captors are staring at her sexually? That's some pretty disgusting writing right there.
After taking an extended break from the series, I finally went back and finished Winter’s Heart. I think my plan from here on out is to alternate a WoT book with something else. I’ve learned that just going back-to-back really makes some of the things I find annoying stand out. So, I’ll probably do another book before I jump into Twilight. But I’m curious to see how this new development plays out.
