Perrin learns that wolf communication is connected to the world of dreams.
Who is the main character of this series? I thought I knew the answer after reading books one and two, but now I’m not so sure because we’re still fucking stuck with Perrin.
Unable to stop thinking about Simion’s brother, Perrin seeks Moiraine’s help in understanding the nature of his affliction. She claims to know very little, but does actually reveal a new piece of information for once: wolf communication is connected to the world of dreams. Will Moiraine help keep Perrin from going full Wolfen? Mmnnnnaybe — as long as it doesn’t interfere with the battle against the Shadow! Gosh, thanks a lot, bitch. It’s nice to know you’ve got a man’s back — always ready to protect it or sink a dagger into it, as appropriate.
Next thing we know, Jordan hits us with more world of dreams bullshit. Hopper, the wolf Perrin met way back in The Eye of the World‘s Chapter 23: Wolfbrother, is there warning him of danger. He watches as a shadow murders a man, then has a run-in with Lanfear, who isn’t happy with the intrusion. Finally, he wakes up and finds the man’s blood all over him. Ew.
Cut to Rand, who is heroically… hiding from dogs and zapping them with the One Power? Oh yeah, this guy is flying over the cuckoo’s nest.
