We find our Sheriam is Black Ajah. At least I think this is when we finally find out. I've known from my first read of course, but I don't think it was exposed before now. Appranetly Halima had been torturing her, which if it wasn't confirmed before now, definitely confirms she had been the Male Forsaken in the Rebel Camp.

A female Forsaken comes to her in her tent and demands she get Egwene deposed. She also demands she steal all the angreal that let them enter the world of Dreams.

Finally Aviendha learns her lesson. The punishment was to teach her that she must stand up for what she believes in, and was the last lesson before her final test and becoming a full Wise One. I'm eagerly looking forward to her next chapter, assuming it covers in detail her trip. I don't remember exactly what happens.

I do know she's badly needed by Rand. He's heading down a dark path again. Less Emo than the last time, but far more dangerous.

I think we got a glimpse into Sheriam being black in one of the last few books but this definitely confirms it. Sad to see.

I was with the wise ones in waiting for Aviendha to figure it out. Glad we won't be getting any more scenes of her punishments.

Mat stumbling into that creepy village where the villagers turn into zombies at night and loop back to human in morning was definitely creepy reading.

Also all these things happening are they to do with dark one coming near to break loose from his prison?

Also finally Gawyn Trakand does something sensible in his life and abandons his foolish group and joins the rebel Aes Sedai.

Also he still continues to blame Rand for everything just makes him more foolish and dumb to me. I hope he does not survive the last battle and Egwene marries Galad.

Galad? Man as bad as Gawyn is, Galad is worse. He's slightly better now..but not much.

They are both awful.
