The whole "unbalefire" seems a bit silly to me, as does the name to be honest. Do you know anyhing more about how that is supposed to work. Does it actually undo balefire and people killed by it or just somehow strenghten the pattern so it won't come apart with balefired people still dead.

Egwene is sounding a bit too Mary Suish there for my liking to be honest.


She's been a Mary Sue through the entire series, so this is nothing new. It sounds to me like, for thirty-seven chapters, it's nothing but the Egwene show and ramming down our throats what an utterly perfect goddess she is. I figured that's what this book would be, but it still grates.

What grates more is that, apparently, Nyn is a non-entity and does absolutely nothing of use so Egwene and Avi can be the stars of the show. Hell, even Rand apparently figures out how to deal with the DO because of Egwene-Sue. I have yet to get a count, but apparently she repeats ad nauseum "I am the Amyrlin!" and some crap about the Amyrlin's anger. I saw someone complaining that she has endless rants about how wrong everyone else is and how she's perfect. I wouldn't doubt we get another "I'm a hero, a thing of legend!" moment again like we did when she singlehandedly conquered the Seanchan. I'm gonna need a barf bag when I read this, apparently.

Do you mean the size of the audience is more stable, they're more mentally sane, or both? *NM* - 01/01/2013 08:29:53 PM 602 Views
