"
Moirane, Lan and Siuan are three of the most important characters in the whole of the Wheel of Time, but we mainly watch their course from a distance, with the writer very rarely giving us their own perspective and thus a closer look to their thought

"Hand in hand, they entered. Together. A smooth face and a steady tread, neither hurrying nor lagging back. The will of the Tower awaited them in the flesh." — Jul 12, 2019 12:55AM

"
Anyone who is quite involved with fantasy I imagine that something will have caught his ear for this series and the rave reviews that accompany it. In fact, if he has come in contact with previous works of the author and has evaluated them positively

"Am I a monster or am I a hero? Did I just slaughter four men, or did I stop four murderers from walking the streets? Does one deserve to have evil done to her by consequence of putting herself where evil can reach her? Did I have a right to defend myself? Or was I just looking for an excuse to end lives?" — Nov 12, 2017 11:04PM

“-O άνθρωπος είναι χτήνος! φώναξε και χτύπησε με θυμό το ραβδί του στις πέτρες. Μεγάλο χτήνος. Δεν το ξέρει η ευγένειά σου, σου ήρθαν μαθές όλα βολικά, μα ρώτα και μένα· χτήνος, σου λέω! Του 'καμες κακό; Σε σέβεται και σε τρέμει. Του 'καμες καλό; Σου βγάζει τα μάτια.”

“If you want to write a fantasy story with Norse gods, sentient robots, and telepathic dinosaurs, you can do just that. Want to throw in a vampire and a lesbian unicorn while you're at it? Go ahead. Nothing's off limits. But the endless possibility of the genre is a trap. It's easy to get distracted by the glittering props available to you and forget what you're supposed to be doing: telling a good story. Don't get me wrong, magic is cool. But a nervous mother singing to her child at night while something moves quietly through the dark outside her house? That's a story. Handled properly, it's more dramatic than any apocalypse or goblin army could ever be.”
