Welcome back once again to Reading The Wheel of Time! We have finally come to the climactic climax at Cairhien (how’s that for alliteration?) which means a lot of choices that people have been struggling with. Mat has to confront what his leaving Rand means for the fight. Egwene and Aviendha have to honor their commitment to using the One Power in battle, despite the rules that govern both Aes Sedai and Wise Ones. And Rand has to face the consequences at the end of the road Couladin’s usurpation attempt has led him down.
Recapping battles is very hard, as it turns out, and this battle has been the first that has felt really important for me to really recap in depth, rather than glossing over it the way I have most of the action scenes that have come before it. Also the chapters are quite long! So I’ve decided to cover Chapter 43 and the first section of Chapter 44, which is from Rand’s point of view and covers the destruction of the tower.
Welcome back to Reading the Wheel of Time! This week we’re covering Chapter 41 and 42, in which Rand is a very important man who has a tower, Lan gets sneaky, and Mat protests entirely too much. Oh, and he does some cool battle planning stuff too.
Chapter 41 opens with Rand standing on a hilltop and surveying the three camps below him. One is Tairen, while the other two are Cairhienin, separated into cavalry and infantry. They are all the Tairen and Cairhienin forces at his disposal, and too many are not actually soldiers.
The city of Cairhien itself lay little more than five miles to the west, some of the fabled “topless towers of Cairhien” visible above the intervening forest. The city sprawled across hills hard by the River Alguenya, encircled by Couladin’s Shaido and those who had joined him.
