That is a good point darius_sedai Send a noteboard - 16/11/2015 08:52:37 PM

Two moles would be ridiculous, and given that all the Forsaken had decades of atrocities behind them, the whole idea of a mole amongst them makes no sense. One of them repenting and trying to do good... maybe that could work. One of them always being good, but part of an organization that killed millions makes no sense.

And a mole would just replicate Verin's story, which was both more believable and more interesting to me anyway.


But I would say that the way Brandon wrote Demandred it was obvious that he still cared for those around him, he was just vastly more wrapped up in his hatred of LTT. It would have been a plausible story to see Demandred flip sides. But yeah, it would take away from Verin's much more compelling story of Black Ajah Mole!

There was bound to be changes of mind... DomA - 13/11/2015 10:50:39 PM 2599 Views
Hmmm... fionwe1987 - 13/11/2015 11:59:41 PM 1725 Views
I just can't believe he was that lazy/sloppy in editing LOC. Terez - 14/11/2015 12:29:47 AM 2293 Views
I thought Shara was begging to be noticed as a last minute foe. Cannoli - 14/11/2015 02:46:42 AM 2093 Views
So did a lot of people. But... Terez - 14/11/2015 05:27:27 AM 2014 Views
I still tend to think Demandred in Shara was Sanderson's creation DomA - 16/11/2015 09:07:28 PM 2184 Views
He has pretty much admitted as much publicly. Terez - 17/11/2015 03:14:19 AM 1914 Views
Agreed. In fact.. fionwe1987 - 17/11/2015 03:19:20 AM 1685 Views

One more comment on the timing Terez - 21/11/2015 04:29:02 PM 1927 Views
I don't get the Nynaeve note Cannoli - 14/11/2015 02:32:28 AM 2064 Views
There are a lot of inexplicable notes like this. Terez - 14/11/2015 06:33:11 AM 2033 Views
Nynaeve was one of the few who met the original Balthamel and Aginor beetnemesis - 17/11/2015 08:46:43 PM 1717 Views

It's interesting that stopping Taimandred coincided with the drop in series quality. Tom - 16/11/2015 05:02:38 AM 2487 Views
Some of this could have been interesting darius_sedai - 16/11/2015 04:37:00 PM 1932 Views
It would take away from Verin though fionwe1987 - 16/11/2015 05:05:41 PM 1422 Views
That is a good point darius_sedai - 16/11/2015 08:52:37 PM 1537 Views
For the record my suggestion was not that he was a mole Tom - 17/11/2015 01:56:41 AM 1717 Views
that was clear in your post darius_sedai - 19/11/2015 05:36:02 PM 1499 Views
Sanderson certainly did that Tom - 20/11/2015 05:08:03 PM 1783 Views
I don't think I would have cared for that darius_sedai - 20/11/2015 06:05:19 PM 1690 Views
It didn't necessarily have to be "dark", just a bit less two-dimensional. Tom - 20/11/2015 10:00:59 PM 1668 Views
I mostly agree gban007 - 21/11/2015 06:38:31 AM 1517 Views
This I can agree with darius_sedai - 23/11/2015 04:12:19 PM 1407 Views
I don't read a ton of fantasy anymore darius_sedai - 23/11/2015 04:29:47 PM 1811 Views
