He did not... fionwe1987 Send a noteboard - 16/11/2009 10:21:15 PM
He relied much too heavily on his thumbnail characterizations to fill out nearly every scene. The idea that Siuan came from a fisher family, and used sayings and wisdom from that background, is a good character piece. Jordan used it to death though.

A little confused here. Yes, Siuan's language is filled with fisherman's slang. But that is not the sum total of her language, nor is the wisdom of fishermen the sum total of her own wisdom.
