Almost everything to do with the Seanchan. *NM* Mix Send a noteboard - 30/05/2017 07:51:53 AM

The Wheel of Time is obviously a great series that many of us enjoyed reading over the years, but there were elements to the storyline that left me feeling disinterested at certain points.

What were some of the particular plot lines or story arcs that you really disliked or wish would've been out of the story all together? I don't mean characters, or RJ's writing style, etc. Specifically, what parts of the story itself.

Good news, everyone...

I've invented a faster delivery system for gossip and pornography... now hold still while I inject the internet into your skull.

Which Part of WoT Plot Did You Dislike the Most? MrFarstrider - 30/05/2017 02:49:26 AM 1588 Views
The internecine warfare in the White Tower should have taken up about one fifth the size it did. *NM* Ghavrel - 30/05/2017 06:01:47 AM 549 Views
It felt like such little payoff for staying devoted to such a terrible storyline MrFarstrider - 31/05/2017 12:33:43 AM 897 Views
The real annoyance with the WT stuff. Is not knowing if it never meant much, or just died with RJ. Dunstan - 31/05/2017 06:36:57 PM 923 Views

Perrin, Masema, etc nossy - 30/05/2017 01:09:20 PM 839 Views
Pretty much all the female story lines. random thoughts - 30/05/2017 01:38:39 PM 970 Views
Demandred not being Taim. Tom - 30/05/2017 02:53:40 PM 910 Views
Naw, dude, he was totally in, uh... Shara the while time. Obviously. Ghavrel - 30/05/2017 05:35:15 PM 955 Views
Totally agreed. Tom - 30/05/2017 06:52:00 PM 859 Views
Perrin rescuing Faile HyogaRott - 30/05/2017 04:11:10 PM 989 Views
A Sanderson book, not a Jordan book, just as a point of fact Cannoli - 30/05/2017 11:55:53 PM 1027 Views
The subplot was almost the entirety of Crossroads of Twilight... *NM* HyogaRott - 01/06/2017 01:23:21 PM 566 Views
COT may have been the worst novel ever written..... *NM* Anonymous2000 - 01/06/2017 05:17:27 PM 506 Views
Have you read Vellum by Hal Duncan? It was worse. *NM* Tom - 01/06/2017 09:03:08 PM 528 Views
Ah crap. Seriously? I guess I shouldn't feel bad for having it in my to read pile for so long then. *NM* Chas - 03/06/2017 01:08:02 AM 604 Views
Nah, that "award winning" SciFi novel by sombody Adams that either Tom of Cannoli convinced me to re HyogaRott - 02/06/2017 12:56:53 PM 948 Views
There is no way I recommended a sci-fi book to someone, other than Lem's Solaris. Tom - 03/06/2017 07:25:00 PM 827 Views
Anything that had to do... Jeordam - 30/05/2017 04:45:27 PM 884 Views
Yeah, but Rand being whiny did give us the best scene in the series, IMHO. Ghavrel - 30/05/2017 08:27:54 PM 893 Views
Yeah....too bad it took Jeordam - 31/05/2017 04:27:49 PM 937 Views
Anything involving the political machinations of Cannoli's favorite character damookster - 30/05/2017 06:59:31 PM 913 Views
Most plotlines involving Egwene after book three or so. And yeah, much of Perrin's storyline. Legolas - 30/05/2017 07:15:26 PM 930 Views
So, you mean most of the Aes Sedai stuff? *NM* Ghavrel - 30/05/2017 08:22:05 PM 535 Views
Nah, there was plenty that wasn't about her. Legolas - 30/05/2017 09:06:49 PM 911 Views
I always thought making Egwene was a silly contrived story line random thoughts - 30/05/2017 09:27:01 PM 915 Views
Am I the only person who didn't hate Egwene? nossy - 30/05/2017 11:46:47 PM 891 Views
I didn't Cannoli - 30/05/2017 11:52:05 PM 1184 Views
What is happening? nossy - 31/05/2017 10:43:52 AM 1077 Views
I didn't mind her early on MrFarstrider - 31/05/2017 12:14:19 AM 978 Views
But... Her #1 goal since the very first page she is on is to NOT be "a innkeeper's daughter". Dunstan - 31/05/2017 06:14:18 AM 927 Views
That's true, but she WAS an innkeepers daughter. nossy - 31/05/2017 10:49:04 AM 851 Views
Which simply made her all the more reckless in attempting to NOT be until she wasn't. *NM* Dunstan - 31/05/2017 04:22:46 PM 537 Views
It was the direction he took her. random thoughts - 31/05/2017 03:04:21 AM 737 Views
That's almost true of every character nossy - 31/05/2017 10:52:55 AM 850 Views
That is true random thoughts - 31/05/2017 12:20:47 PM 928 Views
I kind of feel like Seanchan was setting up for the "outrigger" stories. MrFarstrider - 31/05/2017 10:46:53 PM 940 Views
that fact that you are probably right makes it worse random thoughts - 05/06/2017 03:44:23 PM 884 Views
I actively liked her until probably around PATH OF DAGGERS. Then I was just vaguely indifferent. Ghavrel - 31/05/2017 04:15:37 AM 938 Views
I'm always impressed by people who can keep them straight. nossy - 31/05/2017 10:59:09 AM 872 Views
There are resources that can help with that. Cannoli - 31/05/2017 06:16:47 PM 1062 Views
Your geekery knows no bounds. nossy - 31/05/2017 06:37:42 PM 862 Views
I didn't at the start. Bergioyn - 11/06/2017 09:24:38 PM 1078 Views
Luca's circus...I mean "menagerie" Cannoli - 30/05/2017 11:53:54 PM 1054 Views
The return/rescue of Moiraine.....totally pointless in the end Anonymous2000 - 31/05/2017 12:52:27 PM 869 Views
It treated her as somekind of Wheel high priestess... And everone just went with it... Dunstan - 31/05/2017 07:12:40 PM 891 Views
Took forever to think of full on "plot" I'd go so far as to DISLIKE. Then it hit me. "Pink ribbons". Dunstan - 01/06/2017 06:28:13 AM 844 Views
The ludicrous amounts of subplots and minor characters. Bergioyn - 11/06/2017 09:32:32 PM 1144 Views
