I sat down and listened and nothing happened in 45 minutes. An author's challenge is to build a world that is engaging using as few words as possible. Somewhere along the way RJ lost sight of this. Lets see what happened.
1. Egwene is captured and devoted to novice in the whiter tower.
We know this already
2. Egwene is getting spanked repeatedly. This could use more description
.
3. She served Elaida dinner. Elaida is crazy. Who would have thunk it?
4. She has emotional pain at seeing the tower divided.
5. The women are all wearing dresses. The rooms are nice.
More Brandon please.

Jordan could have easily added that to her backstory after LOC. It's been at least ten years.
