I don't get the Nynaeve note Cannoli Send a noteboard - 14/11/2015 02:32:28 AM

I can't imagine why the two things of which Nynaeve is cited as being ignorant would ever apply to her. Nobody, aside from themselves and their superiors, knew that Balthamel & Aginor were resurrected, and I can't imagine why it would need to be specified that Nynaeve doesn't know. Nobody but Moiraine & the Shadow knew about Asmodean, so, again, I don't see why there was a need to specify that Nynaeve didn't know. I could see needing to specify that Rand doesn't know about Moghedian, since he saw her in a collar with Nynaeve and used the term "Chosen" with what seemed to be deliberation, and Nynaeve noted a reaction from Moghedian. At the time, I thought that was sure to come up in LoC.

Also, the bit about thinking Moghedian was still a prisoner. Nynaeve learned about her escape the same night it happened, so that's a minuscule window for which that datum is relevant.

It seems to me like a whole lot of stuff changed from his mentality when writing the cards to what went into the books.

I just can't believe he was that lazy/sloppy in editing LOC. - 14/11/2015 12:29:47 AM 1831 Views
I thought Shara was begging to be noticed as a last minute foe. - 14/11/2015 02:46:42 AM 1566 Views
So did a lot of people. But... - 14/11/2015 05:27:27 AM 1532 Views
I still tend to think Demandred in Shara was Sanderson's creation - 16/11/2015 09:07:28 PM 1688 Views
He has pretty much admitted as much publicly. - 17/11/2015 03:14:19 AM 1487 Views
Agreed. In fact.. - 17/11/2015 03:19:20 AM 1356 Views

There are a lot of inexplicable notes like this. - 14/11/2015 06:33:11 AM 1574 Views
Nynaeve was one of the few who met the original Balthamel and Aginor - 17/11/2015 08:46:43 PM 1297 Views

It's interesting that stopping Taimandred coincided with the drop in series quality. - 16/11/2015 05:02:38 AM 1933 Views
Some of this could have been interesting - 16/11/2015 04:37:00 PM 1508 Views
It would take away from Verin though - 16/11/2015 05:05:41 PM 1073 Views
That is a good point - 16/11/2015 08:52:37 PM 1153 Views
For the record my suggestion was not that he was a mole - 17/11/2015 01:56:41 AM 1286 Views
that was clear in your post - 19/11/2015 05:36:02 PM 1155 Views
Sanderson certainly did that - 20/11/2015 05:08:03 PM 1287 Views
I don't think I would have cared for that - 20/11/2015 06:05:19 PM 1262 Views
It didn't necessarily have to be "dark", just a bit less two-dimensional. - 20/11/2015 10:00:59 PM 1252 Views
I mostly agree - 21/11/2015 06:38:31 AM 1137 Views
This I can agree with - 23/11/2015 04:12:19 PM 1078 Views
I don't read a ton of fantasy anymore - 23/11/2015 04:29:47 PM 1443 Views
