That Robert Jordan delivers this line from one of the driest characters in the book only makes it that much better. Overall, this book hasn't exactly proven enjoyable, but there's no disputing Jordan's way with the written word. #WoT #WheelOfTime #zinger #Randland #RobertJordan #WintersHeart #TheDragonReborn
"For it was such a badly written book filled with endless cliche and shallow characters. [Therefore] I shall welcome death when it comes."

"We have suffered from the #emigrants settling among us from different parts of the #Highlands, but more from merchants and traders from England and the North of #Scotland.
