Alec complains about the Wheel of Time story pacing.

The rush of Balefire blew through Sammael in Shadar Logoth as Rand let out a scream. Then as the liquid white fire disapated silence reigned. At least for about thirty seconds. Then a cry of disbelief was let out.

"YOU'VE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME!" From the shadows a dark haired man jumped out of the shadows. He looked like nothing that Rand had ever seen before. No man had ears like his nor eyes. He didn't seem like he was shadowspawn... but still one couldn't tell, especially not here. The man walked over to where Sammael had been dressed in armor and wearing a long sword on his back. He stalked around the patch of ground and glared at Rand with queer slit pupiled brown eyes. "It took you THAT long to do THAT?! You couldn't have done that EARLIER? I mean why all the byzintine plots?! You didn't need to make him think you were going one way or another when you could have just popped in and zapped him! Hell, why don't you just go and Zaaap the others while you're at it. It would be much quicker and less dangerous. And then your dark one or whateverhe is wouldn't have any of his precious Forsaken around. And it would show him you mean business." He shook his head. "I don't get you man."

And with that he walked back into the shadows leaving Rand to wonder if this was a sign that he was trully, finally going mad.

HEY long time no see! As you can see I'm making my way through the WoT.

Howdy. *dips cowboy hat he's not wearing*

Yeah..what book? I read New Spring recently, so much better than the real series, haha. You'll hate Crossroads Of Twilight (Book 10), 'cause it reads slower than the Silm. It basically catches the other forty plotlines up with Rand's at the end of Book 9...which is an excellent book.

Anyways...haha.

I just started book eight the path of daggers or something like that. Really pissed at the ending of book seven. I mean really. Talk about build up to nothing. Now I want to know how come he just can't go and find the forsaken and zap them out of existance.

*nods* Path of Daggers. Is that the one with the mountains, lightning, rainstorm BOOM thing going on...or did I so just ruin the ending to the path of daggers...let me know. Haha. Well, one, most are still hidden. And two, it would ruin the next four books, haha.

[kippurbird.livejournal.com]

I wouldn't know. I've been spoiling the books for myself, so I guess it doesn't matter. It may ruin the next four books but it would be a lot more intelligent, dontcha think? Less whining too. I swear.

"Z'OMGAWD EVIL! I TO WAATCH OUT FOR EVIL!!!"... can only be used so often before you want to smack him silly.

[hailthewarrior.livejournal.com]

Ah. The 9th book is one of my favorites. Though I hate Faile with a passion. But, the hidden ones he couldn't just ZAP them.

Haha. I more wanted to smack Perrin...stupid boy.

[kippurbird.livejournal.com]

I hate her too. She's so annoying.

I want to smack all three of the boys actually.

I so don't see what Perrin sees in that girl. He went from HateHateHateAnnoy OHMIGAWDINEEEEEDZZZ HER!! in like nothing. It was like RJ needed him to marry someone so just made it happen, like some sort of bad plot device.
