If we were supposed to expect much from Moiraine, why the silly storyline and countless wasted pages on saving her? She really did nothing after returning.

Brandon Sanderson. Also, it was probably supposed to be a significant character development event for Mat. Sanderson did not really develop the characters at all.

Note that aside from some hints, RJ didn't really build up Moiraine's return all that much, aside from the reveal of her letter one book before he planned to write her rescue. It was not his idea to have her rescue come six years after we read the letter, and had all that time to work ourselves into a frenzy over it.


I will reread some of the Nynaeve passages, maybe it was how it was written, but her roles was just so boring. She was just there. At least Lam got to take our Demandred. Which was another character much speculated about whose role in the LB was rather meh.

Just because there was not a lot of motion and bloodshed does not mean nothing was going on. Sanderson just isn't very good at writing anything but that.

The stuff with her early portrayal was explained (or could be understood) later on. Cannoli - 09/08/2016 11:33:53 PM 785 Views

There's even stuff that just flat out does not make sense, regardless of characterization Cannoli - 12/08/2016 11:35:25 PM 811 Views
