not to take up for the whiney bastard... but he did protect them darius_sedai Send a noteboard - 13/05/2010 03:47:24 PM
I was under the impression that he'd come to help Egwene, not serve her.

Egwene was a bit like this back in LOC - a loose cannon who didn't understand self-control and the importance of orders and rules, but she's grown up a lot lately. She's irritated Gawyn has not. Bryne, who trained him as a boy, thinks much the same of him, incidentally.


I've actually liked and defended Gawyn for the longest time, but he really annoyed me in The Gathering Storm. I think it's rather despicable how he just abandons his responsibilities and duties to the Younglings and never spares them a second thought afterwards.


He not only refused to give up their location to Bryne, but he spent time convincing Bryne that they were no danger with him gone since it was Gawyne's personal knowledge of how Bryne operates that made the unit effective. He also made a point of telling Bryne that they are little more than children.

I still hate that he abandoned them, but once he did he made at least a little effort to protect them.

Agreed, Gawyn gets on my nerves as well! *NM* Etzel - 12/05/2010 02:23:21 PM 739 Views
One of Egwene's finer moments, IMO. Heiko - 11/05/2010 09:35:49 PM 908 Views

I don't get why she is so displeased with Gawyn but Bryne got off free. Fanatic-Templar - 11/05/2010 10:13:39 PM 759 Views

He's supposed to be in tune with her feelings. She shouldn't have to tell him stuff. *NM* Gher - 12/05/2010 01:40:07 AM 323 Views
How and why? They haven't even seen one another in around a year. *NM* Fanatic-Templar - 12/05/2010 03:32:53 AM 304 Views
Oh, I wasn't being serious. Gher - 12/05/2010 04:23:51 PM 706 Views

She didn't tell him. But he did know... fionwe1987 - 12/05/2010 03:54:24 AM 754 Views

haven't considered gawyn, but he or galad could learn. nigelgoboom - 12/05/2010 05:18:26 PM 708 Views
Maybe insanity caused by the taint would explain how stupid Gawyn is. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 13/05/2010 04:04:53 PM 661 Views
He'd be free from being controlled by Egwene! RPA's right - insanity would explain the depth newyorkersedai - 25/05/2010 04:49:06 AM 708 Views
