Wow, it really got rolling. Especially in book three a lot happens and there are so many things to speculate about, I can't remember all of them.

I can see why people drop out and I'm slower with this than I usually am, but I find it quite rewarding, so I continue.

Eriksson's extensive world building allows what I loved most about WoT: speculating and theory building.
I guess reading this book a second time will make you notice so much you oversaw (or couldn't comprehend) the first time...
Oh, and I liked the Darujhistan part a lot. It wasn't as dark as the rest and somehow easier (means faster) too read. Great characters here. Well, most of Eriksson's are.
And I find it refreshing how active and meddling the gods are. I just have the feeling that believing in them/worshiping them won't help you at all...
Interesting how Crokus is in the middle of all these key players.
And Paran will join him. They're both connected to the coin.
Also curious what has truly happened to Tattersail, how she will reemerge.
Exactly, all this talking about Elderling sorcery and the first warren... Really curious! And if she will be Tattersail, or a mixture of the three mages or something completely else...
Also when Paran was talking to Toc about Tattersail's death
Only she didn’t die easily, she never took the easy path in anything.
I couldn't help but think how quickly he can judge how Tattersail would always/normally act do they really know each other that well? have they had the time or chance?
Yep, wondered that myself. And I found the scene where he bedded Tattersail a bit strange and coming out of nowhere.
The introduction of, "Tool," and his tales were what really interested me. Now what I didn't get here is how nonchalantly the introduction of a member of an ancient and powerful race was introduced here. In the description he is a huge lumbering sort of skeleton lord. He is full of wisdom and his power is clearly great, yet he just seems to show up and act as escort for Lorn. It all seemed a little out of the blue for me.
Yes, he's great. I like how he has a sense of humor and doesn't seem to take himself seriously. That's a trait we see much to seldom in 300,000 year old skeleton lords/mages (something like a Lich, but not evil?).

Who do you think the Eel is? Kruppe too obvious to be the Eel maybe Coil not seen much of him and being drunk would be a good disguise could be anyone
I think Coil is Lady Simtal's cast off husband. No idea who the Eel is or if we have met him/her already...
