I have to say... Fanatic-Templar Send a noteboard - 13/10/2012 09:02:32 AM
... of the many things I like to complain about regarding Egwene, the whole False Dragon/Red Ajah lie is probably one that irritates me the most, both as a development of her character and as part of the narrative.

It is difficult to accept Egwene's claims that Elaida is an Amyrlin that turns Ajah against Ajah when her entire rebellion is founded upon falsely calling the largest Ajah in the White Tower terrorist supporters. It is hard to consider her an adult when she can go through life dodging responsibility.

Of course it's also pretty terrible narratively because it's an issue that had so much buildup, was bound to be a source of irreconcilable hostility between Egwene and Elaida (whose opinion of the 'unbelievers' leaves it clear what her reaction would be) or even any other Red she encountered (Pevara flew into a rage at the discovery of someone working for the Salidar Aes Sedai, never mind the person benefitting from it all) and yet It is never brought up.

Really, I have to believe this is Sanderson's doing, I can't conceive that RJ would have allowed this to go entirely forgotten.
