That was in the series? And someone called it "heartbreaking"?
The mass suicide of the Amayar was apparently a scene that would devastate us, and when most fans expressed a cool response to the scene, the author lashed out a bit.

There's really absolutely no point to his character if he isn't Gaidal Cain.

He's EveryCairhienin; prob'ly RJ didn't call him that 'cos it hurts the eye and mouth too much.

I can deal with the "spoiled" part (more or less) but it sure doesn't make him sympathetic. *NM*

I generally liked ToM, but the Olver PoV did make me cringe a bit. *NM*
