I sit somewhere in the middle, she's improved, but still many flaws ajfurst Send a noteboard - 30/10/2009 11:35:47 AM
She's handled the Aes Sedai well and made the reasonable, if not best decision with what Pevara and Verin handed her on a platter (I still think the smarter would have been to tightly bind the Black sisters with Oaths and use them as a weapon - effectively damane, but ones that deserve it, not the innocent enslaved).

However the Seanchan weren't defeated. Capturing Elaida and gaining Travel they'd be doing dances of joy, even if every other raken/to'raken and their riders got hit by lighting and died on the way back. A great victory for the Seanchan that anyone thinking for a moment beyond, 'Woohoo, look at Egwene rock!!!' can see.

And her attitude to Rand stinks. She calls for the War of Law against Elaida, justifying it as in a fight you need one clear leader that people must fall in behind, yet Rand vs. the Dark One is infinitely more important, yet if Rand tries to pull a similar line on her, she'll spit chips and say Aes Sedai don't follow any man (though of course the real irony is Rand integrated with all of Lews Therin's memories after the end of the book is the only non-evil channeler with the true right to call themselves one).

Unless/Until Egwene realises Rand is the key, and she should advise him, but NOT try and guide him, the Shadow must still be rubbing their hands with glee, with the Forces of the Light run by committee.

Well Brandon Sanderson has officially killed off the last volume of the Epic Saga of the Chosen One. - 30/10/2009 02:36:19 AM 2882 Views
Life in unfair, just let Egwene have it already. - 30/10/2009 03:11:04 AM 1231 Views
I skimmed cannoli's predictable rant. I disagree. I LOVED EVERY CHAPTER! - 30/10/2009 03:29:24 AM 1176 Views
Agreed! *NM* - 30/10/2009 03:47:52 AM 696 Views

Ditto. Thought he was a breath of fresh air to the series. - 30/10/2009 03:27:43 PM 1112 Views
If renewal means someone grossly unfamiliar with the series, sure. - 30/10/2009 06:26:19 PM 1670 Views

The "Elaida's election was illegal because of Black Ajah Sitters" is really an absurd argument - 01/11/2009 12:06:32 AM 1260 Views
It wasn't absurd. Just clever... - 01/11/2009 03:33:22 AM 1207 Views
I wasn't saying the rebels had no cause for rebellion. Just that the election *was* legal. - 01/11/2009 10:38:59 AM 1210 Views
Hmm..... - 06/11/2009 04:18:14 PM 1031 Views

I see Cannoll is still going strong about Egwene... - 01/11/2009 08:40:17 PM 1122 Views
There were a few instances in the book where Egwene really bothered me. - 02/11/2009 12:54:10 AM 1083 Views
