The voices may not be real, but they have some pretty good ideas...

How are you liking it so far? I haven't picked up my copy yet. I probably will be tonight after work.
I could have been a contender.

I'm guessing you have the willpower to not read my spoiler post.  Good for you! :D

I really enjoyed it - I've listened to the audio book first because I wanted the continuity of Michael Kramer and Kate Reading to ease any discordance between Robert Jordan's and Brandon Sanderson's styles.  I think it was the right decision for me.  I will buy the book - probably tonight - so I can go back and re-read sections.  Hard to do that with audio books.

I'll be very interested in what you think of it...  A whole lot of stuff happens.  Lots and lots and LOTS of stuff.  At least three important (imho) threads are resolved - three, at least!  One that isn't resolved will lead nicely into "Towers of Midnight"; in fact, if I were writing it, I know exactly how I would open that book.  I'll save that theory for later, though.  :)

Indeed, Verin's storyline came to a great ending, I got choked up. I always had a feeling about that girl...


Glad I was correct in my assumptions. ;) The more optimistic of them, at least.
I believe the world is burning to the ground.

Dang...i just finished the Verin part...wow! 

...and the next part right after that...WOW! 

 :)

I like this book a whole lot!  To me, it took a little bit for things to start to happen.  But then is was like...Boom...Pow...Bang!  Things started happening left and right! 

Very satisfying...and I'm not even done yet!  hahaha

Path of Daggers was a good book with a very, very, very unsatisfying ending that left everything good about the book in shambles, imo.
I could have been a contender.

*puts Path of Daggers on the shelf*
Can't believe he ended it like that! I remember having to wait for this

*takes Winter's Heart off the Shelf*
I'll be in the corner, READING! Must catch up must catch up!

Ah, got to Verin. That's all I'll say.

Well, he might not be to the best part yet...Verin makes an appearance with Mat first, if you remember.

Let's just I've gotten to her last appearance in this book. Interesting. This isn't the best place to say any more than that.
