I still like Nynaeve, but... Keira Send a noteboard - 15/09/2010 02:26:00 AM
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.

Nynaeve was ruined by Egwene's rise to authority over her. TaskmasterJack - 15/09/2010 01:04:58 AM 1109 Views
Faile's immaturity is much more annoying than Nynaeve's temper. *NM* Ava - 15/09/2010 01:53:40 AM 650 Views

Interesting thing here darius_sedai - 17/09/2010 12:57:33 PM 947 Views
Faile, love aside, has a very balanced, educated and experienced POV. More than many WoT grrls. newyorkersedai - 15/09/2010 04:06:41 AM 1136 Views
Nyn is my favorite female. Faile is my second favorite. lilltempest - 16/09/2010 06:22:01 PM 1034 Views
