IF NOT MORE SO???

I remember both characters being pretty good POV reading when I read the series the first time, but the more I reread the less I like these characters. I think Nynaeve may actually be MORE annoying than Faile. She's still entertaining me, at least.


I think there is a REAL difference between Nynaeve's POV from the first two books and the later books. For such a strong character she's got some fairly shallow, perhaps even frivolous, downsides to her character depth and development which starts in book 4 and doesn't really get out of the way until book 9 or 10?

The first POV we had from Nynaeve in EotW was really good, she was strong and confident and didn't act like a totally temperamental, shallow, and competitive idiot. She was competitive, but in a kick ass way, like how she was able to track Lan through her woodcraft (which, btw, we've never really seen her do again).

The moment she really started kicking ass again for me was when she went through the Borderlands and spread the word that Lan was coming through. The seemed more original Nynaeve to me.
