I always thought making Egwene was a silly contrived story line random thoughts Send a noteboard - 30/05/2017 09:27:01 PM

He wasted so much time building up to that and it was so unneeded. I like her character at first but by the end like so many characters in the book I was tired of him constantly reinforcing her traits. The idea that after all the time telling us how wise and what master politicians the White Tower was and then the get tricked into making a girl who wasn't old enough to drink the most powerful women in the world? A person kings come to when they are summoned? Sorry but the book was starting to feel like some silly YA book where young 20 some things really do know as much as they think they do.

It was almost as bad as making Kirk a captain od the Starfleet flagship after he was expelled for cheating the and act of mutiny to take over the. Fantasy or Scfi is no reason to have such stupid plot lines.

Which Part of WoT Plot Did You Dislike the Most? MrFarstrider - 30/05/2017 02:49:26 AM 1455 Views
The internecine warfare in the White Tower should have taken up about one fifth the size it did. *NM* Ghavrel - 30/05/2017 06:01:47 AM 479 Views
It felt like such little payoff for staying devoted to such a terrible storyline MrFarstrider - 31/05/2017 12:33:43 AM 747 Views
The real annoyance with the WT stuff. Is not knowing if it never meant much, or just died with RJ. Dunstan - 31/05/2017 06:36:57 PM 782 Views
Almost everything to do with the Seanchan. *NM* Mix - 30/05/2017 07:51:53 AM 925 Views
Perrin, Masema, etc nossy - 30/05/2017 01:09:20 PM 708 Views
Pretty much all the female story lines. random thoughts - 30/05/2017 01:38:39 PM 851 Views
Demandred not being Taim. Tom - 30/05/2017 02:53:40 PM 762 Views
Naw, dude, he was totally in, uh... Shara the while time. Obviously. Ghavrel - 30/05/2017 05:35:15 PM 811 Views
Totally agreed. Tom - 30/05/2017 06:52:00 PM 728 Views
Perrin rescuing Faile HyogaRott - 30/05/2017 04:11:10 PM 878 Views
A Sanderson book, not a Jordan book, just as a point of fact Cannoli - 30/05/2017 11:55:53 PM 888 Views
The subplot was almost the entirety of Crossroads of Twilight... *NM* HyogaRott - 01/06/2017 01:23:21 PM 506 Views
COT may have been the worst novel ever written..... *NM* Anonymous2000 - 01/06/2017 05:17:27 PM 438 Views
Have you read Vellum by Hal Duncan? It was worse. *NM* Tom - 01/06/2017 09:03:08 PM 453 Views
Ah crap. Seriously? I guess I shouldn't feel bad for having it in my to read pile for so long then. *NM* Chas - 03/06/2017 01:08:02 AM 465 Views
Nah, that "award winning" SciFi novel by sombody Adams that either Tom of Cannoli convinced me to re HyogaRott - 02/06/2017 12:56:53 PM 809 Views
There is no way I recommended a sci-fi book to someone, other than Lem's Solaris. Tom - 03/06/2017 07:25:00 PM 689 Views
Anything that had to do... Jeordam - 30/05/2017 04:45:27 PM 762 Views
Yeah, but Rand being whiny did give us the best scene in the series, IMHO. Ghavrel - 30/05/2017 08:27:54 PM 761 Views
Yeah....too bad it took Jeordam - 31/05/2017 04:27:49 PM 809 Views
Anything involving the political machinations of Cannoli's favorite character damookster - 30/05/2017 06:59:31 PM 776 Views
Most plotlines involving Egwene after book three or so. And yeah, much of Perrin's storyline. Legolas - 30/05/2017 07:15:26 PM 798 Views
So, you mean most of the Aes Sedai stuff? *NM* Ghavrel - 30/05/2017 08:22:05 PM 468 Views
Nah, there was plenty that wasn't about her. Legolas - 30/05/2017 09:06:49 PM 784 Views

Am I the only person who didn't hate Egwene? nossy - 30/05/2017 11:46:47 PM 741 Views
I didn't Cannoli - 30/05/2017 11:52:05 PM 1047 Views
What is happening? nossy - 31/05/2017 10:43:52 AM 950 Views
I didn't mind her early on MrFarstrider - 31/05/2017 12:14:19 AM 837 Views
But... Her #1 goal since the very first page she is on is to NOT be "a innkeeper's daughter". Dunstan - 31/05/2017 06:14:18 AM 783 Views
That's true, but she WAS an innkeepers daughter. nossy - 31/05/2017 10:49:04 AM 717 Views
Which simply made her all the more reckless in attempting to NOT be until she wasn't. *NM* Dunstan - 31/05/2017 04:22:46 PM 470 Views
It was the direction he took her. random thoughts - 31/05/2017 03:04:21 AM 600 Views
That's almost true of every character nossy - 31/05/2017 10:52:55 AM 710 Views
That is true random thoughts - 31/05/2017 12:20:47 PM 791 Views
I kind of feel like Seanchan was setting up for the "outrigger" stories. MrFarstrider - 31/05/2017 10:46:53 PM 805 Views
that fact that you are probably right makes it worse random thoughts - 05/06/2017 03:44:23 PM 739 Views
I actively liked her until probably around PATH OF DAGGERS. Then I was just vaguely indifferent. Ghavrel - 31/05/2017 04:15:37 AM 798 Views
I'm always impressed by people who can keep them straight. nossy - 31/05/2017 10:59:09 AM 741 Views
There are resources that can help with that. Cannoli - 31/05/2017 06:16:47 PM 937 Views
Your geekery knows no bounds. nossy - 31/05/2017 06:37:42 PM 721 Views
I didn't at the start. Bergioyn - 11/06/2017 09:24:38 PM 863 Views
Luca's circus...I mean "menagerie" Cannoli - 30/05/2017 11:53:54 PM 915 Views
The return/rescue of Moiraine.....totally pointless in the end Anonymous2000 - 31/05/2017 12:52:27 PM 735 Views
It treated her as somekind of Wheel high priestess... And everone just went with it... Dunstan - 31/05/2017 07:12:40 PM 755 Views
Took forever to think of full on "plot" I'd go so far as to DISLIKE. Then it hit me. "Pink ribbons". Dunstan - 01/06/2017 06:28:13 AM 706 Views
The ludicrous amounts of subplots and minor characters. Bergioyn - 11/06/2017 09:32:32 PM 907 Views
