I hated him Deadsy Send a noteboard - 31/10/2009 12:57:52 AM
Dark Halo Rand was too awesome to be annoying. Trying to stop people's hearts by bending the Pattern to his will = pure unrivaled badassery.


I liked book 4-7 Rand best. He wasn't taking any crap but he wasn't wanting everyone to be Yes-men either. He isn't infallible. Everyone should get opinions from other people, no matter how powerful they are. He went downhill from there (though I don't blame him for much of it) and this book he managed to be even less likeable. I'm pretty sure I'll like him in the last 2 books though.

But now that I know the book has a happy ending, I can probably go back and reread and see that evil-rand was kinda cool.

Except the Seanchan are not spoiled chidlren who mistake "wishful thinking" for a plan Cannoli - 31/10/2009 04:48:45 AM 699 Views
Or he could have used the Choedan Kal TheCrownless - 31/10/2009 12:21:42 PM 655 Views
What Choedan Kal? *NM* Cannoli - 31/10/2009 10:15:24 PM 254 Views
The big shiney ball thing he destroyed at the end of the book TheCrownless - 01/11/2009 07:50:15 PM 603 Views
Destroyed. My point exactly. *NM* Cannoli - 06/11/2009 04:40:16 AM 240 Views
For what? Great Lord of Chaos - 31/10/2009 12:03:57 AM 652 Views
if he was it wasn't on purpose. I think he was just actively trying to use his ta'verenness *NM* Deadsy - 31/10/2009 12:15:32 AM 262 Views
I dont think it's compulsion. TheCrownless - 31/10/2009 12:16:00 AM 593 Views
Actually, I think it's the other way around. Great Lord of Chaos - 31/10/2009 12:21:49 AM 566 Views
He did the same thing with Cady TheCrownless - 31/10/2009 12:25:51 AM 579 Views
Personally, I thought he was using the TP to do those things. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 04/11/2009 07:37:31 PM 539 Views
It wasn't Compulsion...Sanderson just sort of messed up IMO Marshall - 04/11/2009 11:38:38 PM 482 Views

I don't care for Tuon at all. I'd be okay if her and the Seanchan were obliterated. *NM* TaskmasterJack - 31/10/2009 12:44:22 AM 258 Views
And how is that any different from me with Egwene (except she & I are the same race)? *NM* Cannoli - 31/10/2009 04:51:17 AM 266 Views
Have I ever criticized you for disliking Egwene? TaskmasterJack - 31/10/2009 01:06:39 PM 564 Views
Why not Highlords in Tear? redhand - 31/10/2009 02:10:07 AM 691 Views
You dont really get it. TheCrownless - 31/10/2009 12:23:35 PM 538 Views
That is just POV trap redhand - 31/10/2009 04:20:07 PM 529 Views
Flawed Argument Bookwyrm - 31/10/2009 08:54:05 PM 526 Views
Not at all. Their position is perfectly justified by their experiences. Cannoli - 31/10/2009 04:29:25 AM 633 Views
The a'dam and leashing of channelers does not change the fact that the OP can be misued... fionwe1987 - 31/10/2009 09:17:20 AM 624 Views
Which is why people should NOT be MORE angered toward Seanchan than toward WT. redhand - 31/10/2009 06:22:13 PM 520 Views
That's complete hogwash. fionwe1987 - 31/10/2009 10:23:50 PM 571 Views
Using the word "Hogwash" is inviting flames, but I will be nice about it redhand - 01/11/2009 05:44:16 AM 592 Views

I have... fionwe1987 - 31/10/2009 11:05:20 PM 620 Views
Re: I have... Cannoli - 01/11/2009 02:27:20 AM 788 Views
Well that was rather silly. TheCrownless - 31/10/2009 12:27:03 PM 494 Views
And a generation later, the same old problem arises. New channelers, with no one to stop them. Cannoli - 31/10/2009 10:28:35 PM 525 Views
Several valid points... Legolas - 31/10/2009 05:17:09 PM 582 Views
I wonder what if Egwene happen to be a child kidnapped at Flame and sent to WT redhand - 31/10/2009 06:30:34 PM 579 Views
Your point has some validity for the actual Seanchan damane. Legolas - 31/10/2009 06:43:40 PM 604 Views
The sul'dam should be destroyed Sidious - 31/10/2009 05:14:06 AM 547 Views
The people themselves shouldn't be. Great Lord of Chaos - 31/10/2009 05:26:08 AM 526 Views

Only the Empress can remove the custom Sidious - 31/10/2009 05:48:09 AM 542 Views
Due to their conditioning. Great Lord of Chaos - 31/10/2009 06:03:32 AM 554 Views
She will (and ya, sul'dam become sul'dam from age 13-18 usually) *NM* Deadsy - 31/10/2009 06:12:48 AM 254 Views

I think the a'dam is the perfect solution for Blacks and the Shaido 'Wise Ones'. Gher - 01/11/2009 02:51:27 AM 604 Views
Yes. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 04/11/2009 06:15:08 PM 478 Views
