Yes, it was her choice to make, and she is now responsible for the consequences. RugbyPlayingAshaman Send a noteboard - 16/11/2009 06:24:46 PM
Better, IMHO, than having the Seanchan gain the Travelling weave and use it to capture Rand, all the Aes Sedai and destroy the Ashaman.

The stakes are escalating. Egwene was in a position where it was her responsibility to make a hard decision. She took that opportunity and made her decision.

In many ways, the casualties at the White Tower were far smaller than the casualties Mat, Perrin, Rand or Elayne had been personally responsible for as leaders, and given the control over a mind that an a'dam gives, I think she made the right call.

Who performs the worst atrocity in this book: Egwene or Rand? (A good Cannoli question) Matrimony Cauthon - 13/11/2009 06:22:50 PM 2009 Views
Given the chance, Egwene would certainly have chosen death herself had she been captured Lordling - 13/11/2009 07:04:02 PM 752 Views
That doesn't make her right, it makes her a coward *NM* Cannoli - 13/11/2009 11:53:50 PM 451 Views
Your hatred and judgment of Egwene is obsessive and at times unreasonable. Like right now. *NM* lord-of-shadow - 14/11/2009 03:56:34 AM 415 Views
In this he his reasonable...I think he is mostly wrong with the statement, but it is reasonable *NM* RabidWombat - 14/11/2009 04:08:35 AM 304 Views
Wrong and unreasonable. krassos - 14/11/2009 11:07:16 PM 757 Views

Except for the fact that she never served the Dark One. She was Black Ajah in name only. krassos - 21/11/2009 04:16:48 PM 539 Views
Not true. Verin did in fact serve the DO. She admited as much darius_sedai - 12/12/2009 04:28:56 AM 597 Views
