I have one question Sidious Send a noteboard - 01/11/2009 07:12:23 AM
The fighting was just fine, but it was what she should have been expected to do. Any sister in the Tower who failed to fight would have been a disgrace and a shame on the Tower. Fighting back when someone attacks you is not heroic. And it is NOT a great deed when you have an overwhelming advantage and win. I wouldn't give Rand props for beating a woman in a fight, and certainly not for his defeat of the Seanchan with Callandor. The triumph for him was his tactics and manuevers that forced the Seanchan to congregate and be vulnerable to an attack from Callandor. The actual blasting was no big deal, as in the case when he fought the Shaido with the Power at Cairhien, or when the Asha'man slaughtered the Shaido at Dumai's Wells. Rand gets points for starting up the BT in the first place, and Taim for his recruiting and training and the Asha'man for standing their ground when ordered, but the fight itself - no big deal.


You've said this more than once now. Why does Egwene with a sa'angreal have an overwhelming advantage over 50 damane? You do realize she was fighting a whole huge group of damane who were trying to kill and capture her.

Well Brandon Sanderson has officially killed off the last volume of the Epic Saga of the Chosen One. Cannoli - 30/10/2009 02:36:19 AM 2824 Views
Life in unfair, just let Egwene have it already. redhand - 30/10/2009 03:11:04 AM 1192 Views
I skimmed cannoli's predictable rant. I disagree. I LOVED EVERY CHAPTER! Bookwyrm - 30/10/2009 03:29:24 AM 1138 Views
Agreed! *NM* Mats imaginary friend - 30/10/2009 03:47:52 AM 674 Views
I liked her chapters. Mainly because they gave her something to do. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 30/10/2009 09:43:58 PM 1063 Views
I adore Brandon Sanderson. Seriana Sedai - 30/10/2009 05:05:11 AM 1179 Views

I think he meant Cannoli, not you, Seriana. *NM* Bookwyrm - 30/10/2009 05:30:17 PM 613 Views

Ditto. Thought he was a breath of fresh air to the series. Asha'man - 30/10/2009 03:27:43 PM 1062 Views
If renewal means someone grossly unfamiliar with the series, sure. Cannoli - 30/10/2009 06:26:19 PM 1617 Views

Yes, he will pull thru 4 u in the end, but Matt still needs to grow up. and fast *NM* Bookwyrm - 30/10/2009 07:32:28 PM 616 Views

Actually, Elaida WILL reveal Traveling. We've seen countless times AS broken easily by the Seanchan. *NM* Bookwyrm - 30/10/2009 05:28:06 PM 601 Views
More than likely, but if anyone could avoid giving it up it would be stubborn, self rightous Elaida. Seriana Sedai - 30/10/2009 09:20:31 PM 890 Views

The "Elaida's election was illegal because of Black Ajah Sitters" is really an absurd argument Legolas - 01/11/2009 12:06:32 AM 1235 Views
It wasn't absurd. Just clever... fionwe1987 - 01/11/2009 03:33:22 AM 1168 Views
I wasn't saying the rebels had no cause for rebellion. Just that the election *was* legal. Legolas - 01/11/2009 10:38:59 AM 1159 Views
Hmm..... Sidious - 06/11/2009 04:18:14 PM 1000 Views
I take it she'll carefully avoid bringing up the war vote, then. *NM* Legolas - 08/11/2009 12:47:21 AM 488 Views

Events do seem to suggest otherwise. *NM* Legolas - 31/10/2009 04:40:42 PM 623 Views
I don't agree with all of that, but yes, Egwene's successes are a little too much. Legolas - 31/10/2009 04:30:32 PM 1193 Views
