I really have to say that I have enjoyed this series immensly and that I can't wait to see how it will all unfold. The story line is great and I have to hope that this particular chapter will just lead up to an awesome WINTER'S HEART. As a Chrisitian and a firm believer in the Bible, it is funny to notice all the Biblical allusions. Just simple names like Ishmael, or to name of events or descriptions. Some are very noticable, like Satan/Shai'tan or the identical Father of Lies title given to the two. Or take Armageddon/Tarmon Gai'don. I guess, seeing as the Wheel of Time and the Bible are sweeping epics involving Prophesied saviours and the battle between good and evil Mr. Jordan would need to look at the "True Source" for some names and ideas.
