Its a sad truth... fionwe1987 Send a noteboard - 24/01/2013 07:12:27 AM
Egwene SACRIFICED her life for her beliefs! Just because you found her character irritating doesn't mean she wasn't a hero in the series.

This doesn't count for anything to those who rabidly hate Egwene. Its only more irritating to them that she died heroically. And of course, some even find ways to twist that into something negative. I've seen posts calling her arrogant for assuming she could defeat Taim, that she killed herself only because she knew she'd be burned out if she let go of the Power (completely ignoring that she overdrew by choice, not accident), and other things in that vein. Just be satisfied the character wasn't shortchanged, and those who can read the books without ridiculous biases can enjoy the progression of her arc very much.

I disagree about Cadsuane. Her entitlement issues are pretty significant. - 23/01/2013 11:29:04 PM 906 Views

Why does Egwene expect people to kneel and kiss her ring - 24/01/2013 02:08:21 AM 841 Views
