I realized after I registered that I wouldn't be able to tell when my account was accepted if I didn't include my email. I hope this doesn't affect my registration. Same username as here and lemmy.fmhy.ml (RIP ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿชฆ)

I'm reading New Spring right now and it just keeps trying to drive home the point of just how small she (and Cairheinin in general) are. It described her uncle Laman as 5'11" being VERY tall for Cairheinin man. And that isn't much taller than the average man today.

Edit: I have no idea where I saw this. I did a search on my kindle. I might be hallucinating reading the numbers.

Edit: I am not crazy, but it was her father, not uncle. Chapter 10

He was very tall for a Cairheinin man, just an inch short of six feet...

Yer paying your secretary a pretty penny if she can afford that

Moiraine is too tall.

But really I see it as another rotation of the Wheel. Things are the same, but different.

I understand that. The books tend to be hard to get going. Redescribing each location and character in each book. But it really starts picking up halfway. I'm about 80% done with the book now.

That all being said, the descriptions are extremely vivid and add so much.

Lord of Chaos. Book 6 of The Wheel of Time. Almost done. I'm really really enjoying these books.
