27 - she/her - WoT fan - reading book 11! 📖 #firsttimereader

"Aviendha looked at the things and gasped. "Even the loan of these is a great gift. You shame me, sister. I have no farewell gift to give in return." "You give me your friendship. You gave me a sister." Elayne felt a tear slide down her cheek. She essayed a laugh, but it was a weak, tremulous thing. "How can you say you have nothing to give? You've given me everything."
“It do be metal,” he said. His words still ran together, but Rand had come to understand without having to puzzle it out. "A tower of metal. I have seen it close up, and I know. River traders use it as a marker. We be ten days from Whitebridge at the rate we go." "A metal tower?" Rand said, and Mat, sitting cross-legged with his back against a barrel, roused from his brooding to listen. The captain nodded. "Aye. Shining steel, by the look and feel of it, but no a spot of rust. Two hundred feet high, it be, as big around as a house, with no a mark on it and never an opening to be found." "I'll bet there's treasure inside," Mat said.
Three books spread on a blanket; book 1, book 5 and book 11 I'm currently reading.
Chapter 10: a village in Shiota Followed by the icon of a triangle pointing down, with a snake and a fox in the middle.
"Gaping in shock, [Suroth] turned slowly, staring at the box of light that surrounded her, and found herself looking at a woman made of roiling flames, clothed in roiling flames. Almandaragal was on his feet, awaiting his owner's command to attack. "I am Semirhage," the woman of fire said in a voice like a tolling funeral gong."

"Eventually they would have to deal with him, somehow. She had grown up with Rand, yet she could not allow that to influence her. He was the Dragon Reborn, now, the hope of the world and at the same time maybe the single greatest threat the world faced."
""I should hardly think so," Anaiya put in dryly. Her plain face belonged on a farmwife rather than a Blue sister, and she dressed very simply, publicly at least, in good wool [...]"
Book 10 of WoT sitting on a wooden table!
Book 10 and 11: they look like massive bricks! Book 10 is a hardback copy, but still gorgeous.
All 15 books from the TOR edition (The one with an artwork in the middle of the cover)
Books 1-11 of the Wheel of Time Book 1, 6-7 are the same editions, and all of the others are different
Visual that shows the title of the playlist; Saidar, and a short description; ambient playlist - unity, serenity, temptation There's also the cover of the playlist : a picture of a blue sky, with a phenomena that looks like a Sun dog. The bright light draws symmetrical shapes and half circles. The picture looks very eerie and magical.
4 pictures that illustrate book 9: a white lily, a drawing of a dark silhouette with only an eye more or less placed in the middle of the gavey, wooden dice carved in the shape of skulls, and a picture of a large scenery of a forest, with a white laser soaring to the sky

A photo of my Winter's Heart book, slightly more damaged and battered than 3 months. Several tabs can be seen on the pages: red ones on top, then on the bottom, green, orange, pink, yellow and blue.
“No, thank you, Alivia," Min said, almost shaking her head at the eagerness in the woman's voice. Rand might be complacent about what Alivia was going to do, but Min had set herself to get to know her, and what she had found was startling. On the surface, the former damane was a mature woman who appeared well into her middle years, stern and fierce and even intimidating. She certainly managed to intimidate Nynaeve. Nynaeve seldom said please to anyone except Alivia. But she had been made damane at fourteen, and her love of playing children's games was not the only oddity about her.

"How would he feel at dying? Sadness at leaving her, at leaving Elayne and Aviendha. Sadness for the pain he had brought them. He would like to see his father again before the end. Aside from those things, he almost thought death would be a relief. Death is a relief, Lews Therin said fervently. I want death. We deserve death!"
"We are dead men, Lews Therin murmured. Dead men should be quiet in their graves, but they never are. Rand barely heard the voice in his head. Suddenly he knew he did not have to describe Kisman and the others. He could draw them so well that anyone would recognize the faces. Except, he had never been able to draw in his life. Lews Therin could, though. That should have frightened him. It should have."

"She was Tuon Athaem Kore Paendrag, Daughter of the Nine Moons."
"Do you remember how you kept me in our rooms yesterday morning?" she murmured, looking up in time to catch a grin replacing concern on his face. Of course he remembered. Her face grew hot. Talking to friends was one thing, but being forward with her own husband still seemed quite another. "Well, I want you to take me back there right now and keep me from putting on any clothes for about a year!" She had been quite furious about that, at first. But he had ways to make her forget to be furious."
"Rand started schools in case he *did* end breaking the world, in the hope of saving something."
[Gabrelle speaking about Logain] "I felt... helpless. Oh, he was gentle, but I never really thought before on how strong a man's arms are, and me unable to channel a whisker. He was ... in charge, I suppose, though that isn't quite right. Just... stronger, and I knew it. It felt... strangely exhilarating."
"Too weak, [Rand] thought bitterly, and she might well die for it, the Light burn me forever! /It will/ Lews Therin promised softly."
"The seals that hold back night shall weaken, and in the heart of winter shall winter's heart be born amid the wailing of lamentations and the gnashing of teeth, for winter's heart shall ride a black horse, and the name of it is Death. - from The Karaethon Cycle: The Prophecies of the Dragon"

Visual that shows the title of the playlist; Tel'aran'rhiod, and a short description; Ambient playlist- bleak, contemplative, haunting. There's also the cover of the playlist : a picture of a triangle-shaped and medieval-looking door carved in stone. The surrounding of the door is completely black and the only source of light is from the outside, that shows only a misty grey scenery.

Min asks Rand about Aviendha and Rand answers "I'd say she is as pretty as you, but how can you compare two sunrises?"

"The Oaths are what make us lore than simply a group of women meddling in the affairs of the world. Or seven groups. Or fifty. The Oaths hold us together, a stated set of beliefs that bind us all, a single thread running through every sister, living or dead, back to the first to lay her hands on the Oath Rod. They are what make us Aes Sedai, not saidar. Any wilder can channel. Men may look at what we say from six sides, but when a sister says, 'This is so, they know it's true, and they trust. Because of the Oaths. Because of the Oaths, no queen fears that sisters will lay waste to her cities. The worst villains knows he's safe in his life with a sister unless he tries to harm her. Oh, the Whitecloaks call them lies, and some people have strange ideas about what the Oaths entail, but there are very few places an Aes Sedai cannot go, and be listened to, because of the Oaths. The Three Oaths are what it is to be Aes Sedai, the heart of being Aes Sedai."
A picture of my edition of Book 8; The path of daggers. There are several coloured tabs on the pages.
Daniel Henney as Lan and Rosamund Pike as Moiraine, from the visions as an Amyrlin
Two envelopes, stamped with different flowery or decorative designs, as well as the message "Save the wheel of time !"
[speaking about Min] "He had to be strong, for her sake. He had to be strong, for the world."
"Min wondered where he had learned all that. He sounded a king, and one who knew what he was doing."
"I would not mind you in my head" Lews Therin said, sounding almost sane, "it you were not so clearly mad."
"Kill the whole world" Lews Therin laughed, a moan of derision. Or despair. "I killed the world, and you can too, if you try hard."
Harrold Westerling from House of the Dragon
"Rand al'Thor, The Dragon Reborn, Lord of the Morning and King of Illian!"
"Despite the men following, he felt alone. Despite the Power, he felt empty."
Meme of four men cheering
Visual that shows the title of the playlist; Lord of Chaos, and a short description; Character playlist- somber, reflective, melodic. There's also the cover of the playlist : a picture of a man's back, the colours around him are beige/yellowish. There's something melancholic about it.
