Agree, but... StormCrow Send a noteboard - 17/11/2009 06:04:17 PM
Bryne gets off light because he only went to protect Siuan.


...Gawyn only went to protect Egwene.


I think Eggy makes a distinction between the two. It's more of a reaction to WHY they came than the actual act of rescuing her. Since Siuan and Gawyn came to save her, against her orders, they're in trouble. She's mad because of the implication that they know better than her and need to do as they wish, instead of as she has ordered.

She lets Bryne off easy on the technicality that he came to keep Siuan safe (and she couldn't be talked out of going). She's still mad at him, just not like the other two.

I think she's wrong there, because IIRC he agreed to come to both protect Siuan AND rescue Egwene. I wouldn't correct her if I were Bryne either!

The Gawyn in this book was a lot more likeable than Gawyn in any of the others *NM* Lordling - 15/11/2009 11:31:01 AM 510 Views

I tolerated him, but he is still a shallow loser, and I'm still not impressed. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 16/11/2009 08:49:04 PM 931 Views

It explains a lot about the sheer stupidity of that individual's post regarding Mesaana, though. *NM* Tom - 16/11/2009 03:37:01 AM 409 Views

This is kind of a recurring theme in WOT, to me. StormCrow - 16/11/2009 09:56:52 PM 1012 Views

Rescuing and protecting are similar. Fanatic-Templar - 17/11/2009 07:12:02 AM 891 Views
