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 2589 Views
Life in unfair, just let Egwene have it already. redhand - 30/10/2009 03:11:04 AM 974 Views
I skimmed cannoli's predictable rant. I disagree. I LOVED EVERY CHAPTER! Bookwyrm - 30/10/2009 03:29:24 AM 951 Views
Agreed! *NM* Mats imaginary friend - 30/10/2009 03:47:52 AM 567 Views
I liked her chapters. Mainly because they gave her something to do. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 30/10/2009 09:43:58 PM 856 Views
I adore Brandon Sanderson. Seriana Sedai - 30/10/2009 05:05:11 AM 959 Views

I think he meant Cannoli, not you, Seriana. *NM* Bookwyrm - 30/10/2009 05:30:17 PM 490 Views
Ahhh. Seriana Sedai - 30/10/2009 09:15:14 PM 871 Views

Ditto. Thought he was a breath of fresh air to the series. Asha'man - 30/10/2009 03:27:43 PM 845 Views
If renewal means someone grossly unfamiliar with the series, sure. Cannoli - 30/10/2009 06:26:19 PM 1375 Views

Don't agree completely but what I do want to see is Lord o' Salv - 30/10/2009 07:12:54 AM 846 Views

You want a friend like Mat TheCrownless - 30/10/2009 06:33:47 PM 864 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 514 Views
How so? What does he do that is detrimentally immature? Cannoli - 01/11/2009 08:05:07 AM 894 Views

Like others don't have flaws? Bookwyrm - 30/10/2009 02:58:08 PM 908 Views
EVERYTHING is handed to her on a platter! Cannoli - 30/10/2009 06:41:02 PM 948 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 494 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 708 Views

A personal question: Cannoli, are you threatened by a powerful woman? LTArmstrong - 30/10/2009 07:13:30 PM 962 Views

Tar Valon is a nation Sidious - 31/10/2009 09:20:43 AM 868 Views
The Aes Sedai are not. The Tower as a whole rules the polity of Tar Valon. Cannoli - 31/10/2009 11:34:42 PM 973 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 983 Views
It wasn't absurd. Just clever... fionwe1987 - 01/11/2009 03:33:22 AM 961 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 963 Views
Hmm..... Sidious - 06/11/2009 04:18:14 PM 807 Views
I take it she'll carefully avoid bringing up the war vote, then. *NM* Legolas - 08/11/2009 12:47:21 AM 382 Views
Not a problem... fionwe1987 - 08/11/2009 06:17:39 AM 883 Views

Events do seem to suggest otherwise. *NM* Legolas - 31/10/2009 04:40:42 PM 519 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 965 Views
I too wondered when exactly Elaida took an overdose of crazy pills Asha'man - 01/11/2009 06:46:16 AM 994 Views
I see Cannoll is still going strong about Egwene... Zeratul - 01/11/2009 08:40:17 PM 903 Views
There were a few instances in the book where Egwene really bothered me. Kronin al'Sulc - 02/11/2009 12:54:10 AM 862 Views
Egwene's always been a hypocrite Zeratul - 02/11/2009 02:06:58 PM 1039 Views
