I always thought making Egwene was a silly contrived story line random thoughts Send a noteboard - 30/05/2017 09:27:01 PM

He wasted so much time building up to that and it was so unneeded. I like her character at first but by the end like so many characters in the book I was tired of him constantly reinforcing her traits. The idea that after all the time telling us how wise and what master politicians the White Tower was and then the get tricked into making a girl who wasn't old enough to drink the most powerful women in the world? A person kings come to when they are summoned? Sorry but the book was starting to feel like some silly YA book where young 20 some things really do know as much as they think they do.

It was almost as bad as making Kirk a captain od the Starfleet flagship after he was expelled for cheating the and act of mutiny to take over the. Fantasy or Scfi is no reason to have such stupid plot lines.

Which Part of WoT Plot Did You Dislike the Most? MrFarstrider - 30/05/2017 02:49:26 AM 1535 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 519 Views
It felt like such little payoff for staying devoted to such a terrible storyline MrFarstrider - 31/05/2017 12:33:43 AM 842 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 872 Views
Almost everything to do with the Seanchan. *NM* Mix - 30/05/2017 07:51:53 AM 963 Views
Perrin, Masema, etc nossy - 30/05/2017 01:09:20 PM 794 Views
Pretty much all the female story lines. random thoughts - 30/05/2017 01:38:39 PM 921 Views
Demandred not being Taim. Tom - 30/05/2017 02:53:40 PM 860 Views
Naw, dude, he was totally in, uh... Shara the while time. Obviously. Ghavrel - 30/05/2017 05:35:15 PM 904 Views
Totally agreed. Tom - 30/05/2017 06:52:00 PM 810 Views
Perrin rescuing Faile HyogaRott - 30/05/2017 04:11:10 PM 937 Views
A Sanderson book, not a Jordan book, just as a point of fact Cannoli - 30/05/2017 11:55:53 PM 978 Views
The subplot was almost the entirety of Crossroads of Twilight... *NM* HyogaRott - 01/06/2017 01:23:21 PM 542 Views
COT may have been the worst novel ever written..... *NM* Anonymous2000 - 01/06/2017 05:17:27 PM 480 Views
Have you read Vellum by Hal Duncan? It was worse. *NM* Tom - 01/06/2017 09:03:08 PM 500 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 507 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 896 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 775 Views
Anything that had to do... Jeordam - 30/05/2017 04:45:27 PM 839 Views
Yeah, but Rand being whiny did give us the best scene in the series, IMHO. Ghavrel - 30/05/2017 08:27:54 PM 853 Views
Yeah....too bad it took Jeordam - 31/05/2017 04:27:49 PM 896 Views
Anything involving the political machinations of Cannoli's favorite character damookster - 30/05/2017 06:59:31 PM 866 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 885 Views
So, you mean most of the Aes Sedai stuff? *NM* Ghavrel - 30/05/2017 08:22:05 PM 509 Views
Nah, there was plenty that wasn't about her. Legolas - 30/05/2017 09:06:49 PM 864 Views

Am I the only person who didn't hate Egwene? nossy - 30/05/2017 11:46:47 PM 829 Views
I didn't Cannoli - 30/05/2017 11:52:05 PM 1134 Views
What is happening? nossy - 31/05/2017 10:43:52 AM 1026 Views
I didn't mind her early on MrFarstrider - 31/05/2017 12:14:19 AM 919 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 870 Views
That's true, but she WAS an innkeepers daughter. nossy - 31/05/2017 10:49:04 AM 803 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 512 Views
It was the direction he took her. random thoughts - 31/05/2017 03:04:21 AM 697 Views
That's almost true of every character nossy - 31/05/2017 10:52:55 AM 798 Views
That is true random thoughts - 31/05/2017 12:20:47 PM 869 Views
I kind of feel like Seanchan was setting up for the "outrigger" stories. MrFarstrider - 31/05/2017 10:46:53 PM 886 Views
that fact that you are probably right makes it worse random thoughts - 05/06/2017 03:44:23 PM 828 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 880 Views
I'm always impressed by people who can keep them straight. nossy - 31/05/2017 10:59:09 AM 824 Views
There are resources that can help with that. Cannoli - 31/05/2017 06:16:47 PM 1017 Views
Your geekery knows no bounds. nossy - 31/05/2017 06:37:42 PM 807 Views
I didn't at the start. Bergioyn - 11/06/2017 09:24:38 PM 961 Views
Luca's circus...I mean "menagerie" Cannoli - 30/05/2017 11:53:54 PM 1003 Views
The return/rescue of Moiraine.....totally pointless in the end Anonymous2000 - 31/05/2017 12:52:27 PM 822 Views
It treated her as somekind of Wheel high priestess... And everone just went with it... Dunstan - 31/05/2017 07:12:40 PM 842 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 789 Views
The ludicrous amounts of subplots and minor characters. Bergioyn - 11/06/2017 09:32:32 PM 1002 Views
