Re: but nossy Send a noteboard - 04/12/2009 03:46:00 PM
To be fair, they couldn't stretch the spanking thing out longer than this. It would mean days and weeks of spanking to find a crack and then break her. As it is, BS actually spent a large part of the book showing various Aes Sedai interrogating her. Semirhage has about five or six chapters, which is enormous for any Forsaken.

For me, it's not so much that it was a small part, but that it seems unlikely. She's not someone who PRETENDS to be the most awesome ever, she actually is. The psychology of it doesn't work for me, but I could be wrong. Oh noes, don't spank me! You'll just prove that I've been right to call you mindless barbarians. I also think that spanking Caddy would get you an Unbreakable Grudge, not so much a crying Caddy. *shrugs* Or possibly a crying Caddy, but not one who will tell you anything she hadn't already planned to.

I also think that Brandon did go into it quite well - Cadsuane's dilemma : how can she break the unbreakable woman. I found it very similar to Rand. I thought he'd spend half the book trying to figure out how to beat Graendal, and but whoosh, it was all over in a blinding light. I'll bet Graendal was in the bath when it happened smiling at how stupid Rand is.

I was surprised (and slightly underwhelmed) by Graendal's lack of screen-time, but I was impressed with Rand there. Bad balefire, but well, effective plan. *nods*

If you plan to write that review before the last two books are out, you better get re-reading now. *NM* Insomdeon - 04/12/2009 03:20:31 PM 565 Views

I disagree darius_sedai - 05/12/2009 05:11:28 PM 1114 Views
Egwene had the best mix of teachers and a desire to learn. Most believable, IMO. *NM* fionwe1987 - 04/12/2009 10:17:56 PM 581 Views

Yes, the Aes Sedai need to rediscover the meaning of "servants of all" *NM* BlackAdder - 06/12/2009 05:03:19 AM 1174 Views
I'm re-reading the series now for the first time in years. Egwene has always been a weak character. Master Radishes - 07/12/2009 01:12:15 AM 1114 Views
