that Slayer, the miserable son of a bitch, killed Hopper!! He can't die soon enough for me. He needs killing. Badly.
Hopper should not have died, I don't care what thematic value it had. As much as Rolans death outraged me, this was a thousand times worse.
Hopper's death in The Eye of the World brought tears to my eyes. This second, final death simply filled me with outrage. I already hated Slayer. My hatred for him has now grown exponentially. He can't die soon enough or horribly enough.
I thought he was "all dead" the first time, so, maybe....
I'm getting a little tired of authors deliberately killing off the most noble, beloved but EXPENDABLE characters just to yank an emotional reaction out of fans though. Hoppers death was utterly unnecessary except insofar as it justifies Perrin hating Slayer even more and makes us do the same. *shrugs* Maybe it's an excuse to deal with the Second Law of Thermodynamics, a set up for a spiritual Randland where people aren't OBLIGATED to be reborn, but can go to a final joyful rest. Maybe that's just my bias though; honestly, the idea of an infinite cycle of reincarnation has always struck me as very tedious and tiring.

I retain some faint hope for some kind of return.
