That was never an issue. Fanatic-Templar Send a noteboard - 30/08/2013 05:19:43 PM

Gawyn was ever unwilling to settle on a course. If he'd just decided to join Elaida because Siuan was foolishly risking Elayne's life and to get revenge against the Dragon Reborn for murdering his mother and conquering his country, then at least I could respect him for being faithful to his cause. But the truth is, he was never that. I probably should have seen it from the beginning, what with him letting Siuan go and betraying his cause for Egwene, or his absence from the Succession War storyline, but the later books have made it bloody obvious.

He betrays his cause and his Younglings because he doesn't feel he belongs there anymore and goes of to join the Rebel Aes Sedai, then he feels he shouldn't be following their orders and goes off to save Egwene, then he decides serving Egwene isn't everything he always wanted so he runs back home to Andor - after Elayne has already resolved the crisis there - then figures 'no wait, maybe my place is with Egwene after all!' for a while before deciding, no, his place is martyring himself to kill Demandred!

Gawyn is all rash decisions and no commitment, and this is something that comes to be most obvious in the latest books.

The first rule of being a ninja is "do no harm". Unless you intend to do harm, then do lots of harm.

I read somewhere one should hope for the best but prepare for the worst. - 29/08/2013 10:18:18 AM 1205 Views
Gawyn matured? - 30/08/2013 05:05:11 AM 978 Views
Yes; he grew beyond "I can ignore the rules and everyone must obey me because I know best." - 30/08/2013 06:18:22 AM 1149 Views

Maybe death was a release from having to carry self-important harridans on their quests for power - 05/09/2013 01:10:41 AM 1126 Views

That's one opinion... - 04/09/2013 06:06:15 PM 1066 Views
Wow, you predicted a plot progression in a predictable and completely worthless series of books. - 05/09/2013 04:08:38 AM 983 Views
It is not worthless, and that particular progression was not predictable enough for anyone else. - 05/09/2013 04:34:11 AM 998 Views
I recall not caring about camps, or Jordan generally. - 05/09/2013 03:06:43 PM 950 Views
