He got the cliffhanger scene in the last book, Towers of Midnight.Been stuck onThe Path of Daggersfor like 2 years. I devoured the first 7 books in quick succession, but for some reason I've never been able to get past this one. Really wanna know how my boy Lan is doing!
I wouldn't place bets just yet on Lan's fate...He got the cliffhanger scene in the last book, Towers of Midnight.
That's not a good thing.
Rand, seriously? I thought it was like a foregone conclusion. Tons of prophecy + mins visions about him dying, although that might seem a little obvious. I don't see him living happily ever after with his harem though, especially given the vision she had of his body being tended by 3 women, Arthurian style. Not to mention the whole Rand/Jesus parallel.I think Rand/Lan dying is unlikely,
Yea I did say I remembered that prophecy and Min's viewings all say he dies, but it just seems fucking harsh if he does, and it seems too obvious. IE, so many things telling us he's going to croak, him preparing himself for and accepting death etc. There are so many women bonded to him that when/if he dies there's going to be some serious emo-ness going on. I mean, it's obviously entirely possible, I just don't know. Seems fucking brutal.Rand, seriously? I thought it was like a foregone conclusion.

I remember way back when I first read the books, back around book 4/5/6, I had a theory that Rand was going to use Callandor to summon a massive blast of balefire, channeling enough to destroy himself but blasting the Dark One out of existence so far back into the past that the events ever since the Age of Legends and War of Shadow are undone, and the entire world is altered to be like one of the alternate worlds they see through the portal stones, one where the DO was never released and the age is entirely different. He'd have died to save humanity, but then be alive again because it all never happened. Would be interesting if that did happen just to see the fan reaction, but I don't think it's a serious possibility giving all the prophecy/foreshadowing in the books since then.
Fuck, talking about this makes me wanna bunk down and read the Sanderson books in the series before AMOL comes out.
