I really disliked a couple of prophecies, but I guess I might have easily missed something...
Siuan and Gareth Bryne's ending:
• Min's viewing said that one of them would die if they weren't together
• for no really good reason they weren't together during the battle
• Siuan "just died" for normal battle reasons
nothing special. No reason for Bryne not to be with her, and she died in a quite ordinary way (ordinary considering the battle, of course).
Mat and Tuon's marriage:
• Mat had to marry Tuon "or he would die"
• he married Tuon
• he didn't die
ok... and... well... why?
I mean, I would have expected a specific moment of the story which:
• would have happened regardless of Tuon's involvement
• was crystal clear that their marriage saved him
can't recall any such moment...
Did I miss something?
(disclaimer: I liked the last book very much, there are not meant to be heavy critics, it's just a couple of points which doesn't sound good to me)
Io iudico bene questo: che sia meglio essere impetuoso che respettivo, perché la fortuna è donna ed è necessario, volendola tenere sotto, batterla e urtarla.
