Cannoli, I want to ask a legitimate question that can sound bitchy in just the printed text. I truly don't mean it that way, so please take it in the spirit it is intended. I am curious why you read these books. I am genuinely interested to know what you find positive about them. It shouldn't make me wonder so much about someone else, but all we hear is the negative. I mean hey, post what you feel, but whenever I read it I can't help but wonder.
You can tell me to keep my questions to myself if you want, but I don't ask it the mean way it could be read.

I am not saying that Sanderson did a bad job here, and the post was a comment on Egwene, not the writing. I have issues with the writing, but tGS was good enough. I am not offended in the least by your question, but I confess to ignorance as to the thought process that inspires it. You appear to be asking why I would read a series when I seem to have hated this book (which is a colossally stupid question since a different person wrote all the others, so I will assume you are not asking this), or why I would read a book with a character I despise so thoroughly. I cannot believe everyone but me only reads books with characters they like, so again, I cannot see why you would ask this.
You assume correctly. I must not have been clear.
I was asking about WoT as a series. I understand your arguments against Egwene and while I don't agree on many points I still understand and respect your position. I don't honestly know why I wonder because it really only affects you, but it sounds like you continue to read a series you have a strong dislike for. I can't imagine that is the case as it would be a colossal waste of your time, so my curiosity has been piqued.
Well Brandon Sanderson has officially killed off the last volume of the Epic Saga of the Chosen One.

More than likely, but if anyone could avoid giving it up it would be stubborn, self rightous Elaida.
