You know, I'm going to come right out and say it. The resurrection bit in the Companion was cheap. Cannoli Send a noteboard - 21/11/2015 10:58:25 AM

Not to spoil this for those who have not yet read it, but it is revealed in the Companion that a character seen dead in the books, did not die after all, but survived her death scene, went home and had a couple of offspring, and lived happily ever after.

I call bullshit. Death has to mean something. I've never been on the "more good guys need to die" campaign, trusting that they would die when and if it was important to the story (and I consider the death I got im aMoL but never expected to be my cosmic reward for that). At the point in which Ingtar died, he was about as prominent a member of the main cast as Cadsuane would become for the series.

But when characters give their lives in a noble sacrifice it has to stick, or it isn't a real sacrifice. She earned it, and she deserves better. I like to think that when the Horn of Valere is blown in another age, she'll be there when the Heroes come riding up. According to the Companion, what she did to earn that didn't actually happen.

I kind of think RJ is spinning in his grave over that, assuming he had planned her death in the first place.
