* Лан и неговите драми;
* Перин с неговото вечно мрънкане за Файле и как не ще да е лорд, и как не иска да е вълк и т.н. дълбоки размисли;
* Грендал с елементи на поява на Ранд - ето това си струва четенето, за разлика от горните две... следва голям спойлър и един от Отстъпниците си взима окончателно
* Галад, който е все така досаден в праволинейната си заблуда
* Падан Фейн (или каквото там е нещото, което носеше това име) - все така луд
* Malenarin Rai, кандорец, или е ново име, или не си спомням за него

- Okay, you knew they were coming! Did you really think you could get away with not answering at least one WoT question!?! And no, you can't RAFO us! THE GATHERING STORM impressed through its tight thematic focus on Rand and Egwene's tribulations and what they went through to resolve them. You've said that TOWERS OF MIDNIGHT has been a tougher book to write due to its more expansive nature and larger cast. For you (and avoiding spoilers!), what was the biggest difference in the writing process for the two books, and the biggest challenge?

The biggest difference is that in THE GATHERING STORM I took two tight narratives and built them both to an enormous crescendo. In TOWERS OF MIDNIGHT I had to make each chapter have more of an impact. In TOWERS OF MIDNIGHT is there are these amazing scenes, chapter after chapter--BAM BAM BAM , this incredible scene you’ve been waiting for, this other incredible scene you’ve been waiting for, this majestic scene you’ve been waiting for--but at the same time we’re showing the scope around the world. Now, the book has one of those tight narratives that builds to an enormous crescendo that I’m very pleased with. But a lot of the rest of the book is this sequence and that sequence and this sequence and that sequence, so it’s a very different book. Book twelve felt more like books one, two, and three to me. Book thirteen feels like books four, five, and six. This expands the vision and goes back to places we’ve been before.

It was a wonderful process. I actually think that TOWERS OF MIDNIGHT is a better Wheel of Time book than THE GATHERING STORM was. But it made for a much more difficult write, because tying all of these elements together was a big challenge. Tying two narratives together is challenging, but then suddenly when you have eight narratives and have to make sure that they thematically work together, and all of that, is that much more of a challenge.

We’ll see what readers think. In these books I am particularly beholden to the Wheel of Time fans. I feel these books are for them. So I won’t really know if I’ve been successful until they read it. But I feel very pleased with the book.

- As the overall story arc is nearing its conclusion and a panoply of plotlines are approaching their culmination in TOWERS OF MIDNIGHT, is there added pressure for you as A MEMORY OF LIGHT draws nearer and you need to close the show with a bang?

Yes. You phrased that very well. I don’t know if I can add anything more to that; you’ve got it. Now, the nice thing to keep in mind is that I don’t have to write the ending. The BANG has already been written by Robert Jordan, and as a reader I found it extremely satisfying when I reached it. And so I feel very confident that the ending of the next book is going to be what everyone has been hoping for and wanting--without being exactly what they expect. I think the ending that Robert Jordan is just wonderful. So at least I don’t have to worry about that. But I do have to make this the best book that I can possibly write, and it’s going to be a challenge. It’s part of why I’ve decided that I have to slow down, as I said earlier, and just take my time on this one.

не тя си го отнася мощно в предната книга а друг от Отстъпниците, нещо което беше тъй или иначе пределно ясно, тъй като тя е може би единствения персонаж който все още наистина кефи в тая поредица.
