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 1372 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 443 Views
It felt like such little payoff for staying devoted to such a terrible storyline MrFarstrider - 31/05/2017 12:33:43 AM 665 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 701 Views
Almost everything to do with the Seanchan. *NM* Mix - 30/05/2017 07:51:53 AM 888 Views
Perrin, Masema, etc nossy - 30/05/2017 01:09:20 PM 615 Views
Pretty much all the female story lines. random thoughts - 30/05/2017 01:38:39 PM 763 Views
Demandred not being Taim. Tom - 30/05/2017 02:53:40 PM 682 Views
Naw, dude, he was totally in, uh... Shara the while time. Obviously. Ghavrel - 30/05/2017 05:35:15 PM 718 Views
Totally agreed. Tom - 30/05/2017 06:52:00 PM 646 Views
Perrin rescuing Faile HyogaRott - 30/05/2017 04:11:10 PM 773 Views
A Sanderson book, not a Jordan book, just as a point of fact Cannoli - 30/05/2017 11:55:53 PM 800 Views
The subplot was almost the entirety of Crossroads of Twilight... *NM* HyogaRott - 01/06/2017 01:23:21 PM 463 Views
COT may have been the worst novel ever written..... *NM* Anonymous2000 - 01/06/2017 05:17:27 PM 396 Views
Have you read Vellum by Hal Duncan? It was worse. *NM* Tom - 01/06/2017 09:03:08 PM 413 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 425 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 722 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 599 Views
Anything that had to do... Jeordam - 30/05/2017 04:45:27 PM 682 Views
Yeah, but Rand being whiny did give us the best scene in the series, IMHO. Ghavrel - 30/05/2017 08:27:54 PM 679 Views
Yeah....too bad it took Jeordam - 31/05/2017 04:27:49 PM 735 Views
Anything involving the political machinations of Cannoli's favorite character damookster - 30/05/2017 06:59:31 PM 683 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 708 Views
So, you mean most of the Aes Sedai stuff? *NM* Ghavrel - 30/05/2017 08:22:05 PM 430 Views
Nah, there was plenty that wasn't about her. Legolas - 30/05/2017 09:06:49 PM 687 Views

Am I the only person who didn't hate Egwene? nossy - 30/05/2017 11:46:47 PM 644 Views
I didn't Cannoli - 30/05/2017 11:52:05 PM 960 Views
What is happening? nossy - 31/05/2017 10:43:52 AM 857 Views
I didn't mind her early on MrFarstrider - 31/05/2017 12:14:19 AM 747 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 694 Views
That's true, but she WAS an innkeepers daughter. nossy - 31/05/2017 10:49:04 AM 635 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 427 Views
It was the direction he took her. random thoughts - 31/05/2017 03:04:21 AM 510 Views
That's almost true of every character nossy - 31/05/2017 10:52:55 AM 627 Views
That is true random thoughts - 31/05/2017 12:20:47 PM 696 Views
I kind of feel like Seanchan was setting up for the "outrigger" stories. MrFarstrider - 31/05/2017 10:46:53 PM 719 Views
that fact that you are probably right makes it worse random thoughts - 05/06/2017 03:44:23 PM 655 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 709 Views
I'm always impressed by people who can keep them straight. nossy - 31/05/2017 10:59:09 AM 660 Views
There are resources that can help with that. Cannoli - 31/05/2017 06:16:47 PM 853 Views
Your geekery knows no bounds. nossy - 31/05/2017 06:37:42 PM 636 Views
I didn't at the start. Bergioyn - 11/06/2017 09:24:38 PM 779 Views
Luca's circus...I mean "menagerie" Cannoli - 30/05/2017 11:53:54 PM 813 Views
The return/rescue of Moiraine.....totally pointless in the end Anonymous2000 - 31/05/2017 12:52:27 PM 645 Views
It treated her as somekind of Wheel high priestess... And everone just went with it... Dunstan - 31/05/2017 07:12:40 PM 661 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 634 Views
The ludicrous amounts of subplots and minor characters. Bergioyn - 11/06/2017 09:32:32 PM 803 Views
