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 1626 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 568 Views
It felt like such little payoff for staying devoted to such a terrible storyline MrFarstrider - 31/05/2017 12:33:43 AM 942 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 970 Views

Perrin, Masema, etc nossy - 30/05/2017 01:09:20 PM 877 Views
Pretty much all the female story lines. random thoughts - 30/05/2017 01:38:39 PM 1004 Views
Demandred not being Taim. Tom - 30/05/2017 02:53:40 PM 937 Views
Naw, dude, he was totally in, uh... Shara the while time. Obviously. Ghavrel - 30/05/2017 05:35:15 PM 992 Views
Totally agreed. Tom - 30/05/2017 06:52:00 PM 893 Views
Perrin rescuing Faile HyogaRott - 30/05/2017 04:11:10 PM 1032 Views
A Sanderson book, not a Jordan book, just as a point of fact Cannoli - 30/05/2017 11:55:53 PM 1079 Views
The subplot was almost the entirety of Crossroads of Twilight... *NM* HyogaRott - 01/06/2017 01:23:21 PM 579 Views
COT may have been the worst novel ever written..... *NM* Anonymous2000 - 01/06/2017 05:17:27 PM 524 Views
Have you read Vellum by Hal Duncan? It was worse. *NM* Tom - 01/06/2017 09:03:08 PM 541 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 618 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 993 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 875 Views
Anything that had to do... Jeordam - 30/05/2017 04:45:27 PM 918 Views
Yeah, but Rand being whiny did give us the best scene in the series, IMHO. Ghavrel - 30/05/2017 08:27:54 PM 936 Views
Yeah....too bad it took Jeordam - 31/05/2017 04:27:49 PM 975 Views
Anything involving the political machinations of Cannoli's favorite character damookster - 30/05/2017 06:59:31 PM 939 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 972 Views
So, you mean most of the Aes Sedai stuff? *NM* Ghavrel - 30/05/2017 08:22:05 PM 546 Views
Nah, there was plenty that wasn't about her. Legolas - 30/05/2017 09:06:49 PM 959 Views
I always thought making Egwene was a silly contrived story line random thoughts - 30/05/2017 09:27:01 PM 955 Views
Am I the only person who didn't hate Egwene? nossy - 30/05/2017 11:46:47 PM 933 Views
I didn't Cannoli - 30/05/2017 11:52:05 PM 1224 Views
What is happening? nossy - 31/05/2017 10:43:52 AM 1105 Views
I didn't mind her early on MrFarstrider - 31/05/2017 12:14:19 AM 1022 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 966 Views
That's true, but she WAS an innkeepers daughter. nossy - 31/05/2017 10:49:04 AM 888 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 550 Views
It was the direction he took her. random thoughts - 31/05/2017 03:04:21 AM 785 Views
That's almost true of every character nossy - 31/05/2017 10:52:55 AM 906 Views
That is true random thoughts - 31/05/2017 12:20:47 PM 966 Views
I kind of feel like Seanchan was setting up for the "outrigger" stories. MrFarstrider - 31/05/2017 10:46:53 PM 973 Views
that fact that you are probably right makes it worse random thoughts - 05/06/2017 03:44:23 PM 924 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 973 Views
I'm always impressed by people who can keep them straight. nossy - 31/05/2017 10:59:09 AM 913 Views
There are resources that can help with that. Cannoli - 31/05/2017 06:16:47 PM 1096 Views
Your geekery knows no bounds. nossy - 31/05/2017 06:37:42 PM 890 Views
I didn't at the start. Bergioyn - 11/06/2017 09:24:38 PM 1115 Views
Luca's circus...I mean "menagerie" Cannoli - 30/05/2017 11:53:54 PM 1091 Views
The return/rescue of Moiraine.....totally pointless in the end Anonymous2000 - 31/05/2017 12:52:27 PM 901 Views
It treated her as somekind of Wheel high priestess... And everone just went with it... Dunstan - 31/05/2017 07:12:40 PM 930 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 896 Views
The ludicrous amounts of subplots and minor characters. Bergioyn - 11/06/2017 09:32:32 PM 1184 Views
