Yep, somewhat Marshall Send a noteboard - 05/10/2009 10:47:07 PM
I wouldn't call all of those "arcs." A mystery about who killed Asmodean has mostly become a joke...something that RJ realized his fans were obsessed over and wanted to treat them to the excruciating wait. Similarly, Moiraine's death isn't an "arc"...it's something that happened, and she'll reappear at a key moment during the Last Battle, I'm sure. Despite her mistakes, Moiraine has dedicated her entire life to fighting the DO, finding Rand, and preparing for the Last Battle, and we can be sure we haven't seen the last of Moiraine.

Demandred, similarly, has been saved for the end. The Forsaken have been picked off one by one, for the most part, with a book or so dedicated to each--TFoH for Asmodean and Lanfear, Crown of Swords for Sammael, etc. Demandred's story hasn't been developing, but our curiosity certainly has.

As for the Perrin and Elayne storyline: I completely agree.

Another I'd like to throw in is the damn Morgase "hiding away" as a maid story arc. Seriously, hurry it up. Siuan and Leanne's similar story went much quicker!

Story arcs that take forever to conclude make *some* parts of the series boring Lanfear - 05/10/2009 07:55:44 PM 1916 Views

Perrin and Faile were definitely a major one Fantasy - 05/10/2009 11:04:20 PM 766 Views
The best love interest arc by far was Rand & Aviendha Marshall - 06/10/2009 01:47:58 AM 770 Views
Yeah. Elayne saw Rand for 15 minutes and was suddenly in love with him beetnemesis - 06/10/2009 05:50:56 AM 826 Views
That's true.... Fantasy - 07/10/2009 03:36:22 AM 683 Views
Eh, I think it's just because he's had the least interaction with her beetnemesis - 07/10/2009 03:32:33 PM 672 Views

I'd call it ironic. Fantasy - 10/10/2009 02:43:41 AM 644 Views
Totally agree. I thought this was weak writing. *NM* Bryce - 06/10/2009 12:30:03 PM 291 Views
I completely agree. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 07/10/2009 06:49:27 PM 738 Views
Nice of RJ to give us the option though Sidious - 07/10/2009 07:48:36 PM 652 Views
Agree - yet I feel RJ was damned either way ajfurst - 06/10/2009 04:31:05 AM 777 Views
Damned if you do, damned if you don't. A series this big, bound to have its problems with story arc. *NM* Bryce - 06/10/2009 12:31:55 PM 412 Views
