I’ve always wondered if it’d be viable when traveling the Ways to leave night, sleep in a random location outside, and go back in.
Maybe time in the Ways is compressed as well as distance? I can’t recall if we have enough detail to say.
We have plenty of evidence that time is compressed. People seem to move slower when looking out from inside.
Good point. So then it depends on how big of a hurry you are in, I suppose.
I always feel that the chapters Egwene spends as a damane will last longer than they do. The pain feels like a full book’s worth.
Another example of RJ’s excellent use of foreshadowing is how he depicts Ingtar all through The Great Hunt . This often impresses me.
Climbing the wall to escape: “Ingtar cursed when Mat tossed the Horn of Valere…Mat snatched it up,’it isn’t even scratched.’”
Yes, I have finished The Great Hunt . I’m spending a little time outlining now. Lots of work to do there.
