Thanks. Seriana Sedai Send a noteboard - 01/11/2009 06:32:12 AM
I think I made the original question really too vague because I was making sure it didn't sound rude, it was really more of an "okay, I get what you don't like, I'd love to know what you do".
Everything. Including the Egwene chapters, and what happened in them. I can enjoy her victory while still disliking her. In fact, I defy you to ever point out someplace where I said I hope she loses. Getting Egwene on the Amyrlin Seat is not really a victory as I see, any more than Rand being crowned King of Illian. What is important is what he or she does with their positions, and Egwene shows no sign of doing anything positive. I would love it if she actually DID become a good Amyrlin, because that would only help the characters I do like. What I doubt is her becoming such, for my value of good, even if she does become a Great Amyrlin. A Great Amyrlin helps the Tower for its own sake, which puts all those nincompoops she was constantly getting angry, frustrated or exasperated at in this book, in a better position. A Great Amyrlin is hailed as such by the Tower and admired by the sisters. I don't want anyone that pack of twits would revere and admire weilding influence on the world during the most crucial period in its history.

I don't know why the question stuck in my head in the first place and then we had to get the actual question cleared up, but thanks for bearing with me.
I like reading your posts, I guess I just don't know how to respond sometimes because I don't know where not to take things with you like I do with so many others.
Thanks!

Well Brandon Sanderson has officially killed off the last volume of the Epic Saga of the Chosen One. Cannoli - 30/10/2009 02:36:19 AM 2444 Views
Life in unfair, just let Egwene have it already. redhand - 30/10/2009 03:11:04 AM 849 Views
I skimmed cannoli's predictable rant. I disagree. I LOVED EVERY CHAPTER! Bookwyrm - 30/10/2009 03:29:24 AM 803 Views
Agreed! *NM* Mats imaginary friend - 30/10/2009 03:47:52 AM 504 Views
I liked her chapters. Mainly because they gave her something to do. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 30/10/2009 09:43:58 PM 721 Views

Ditto. Thought he was a breath of fresh air to the series. Asha'man - 30/10/2009 03:27:43 PM 718 Views
If renewal means someone grossly unfamiliar with the series, sure. Cannoli - 30/10/2009 06:26:19 PM 1242 Views

You want a friend like Mat TheCrownless - 30/10/2009 06:33:47 PM 735 Views
Yes, he will pull thru 4 u in the end, but Matt still needs to grow up. and fast *NM* Bookwyrm - 30/10/2009 07:32:28 PM 449 Views

Actually, Elaida WILL reveal Traveling. We've seen countless times AS broken easily by the Seanchan. *NM* Bookwyrm - 30/10/2009 05:28:06 PM 417 Views
More than likely, but if anyone could avoid giving it up it would be stubborn, self rightous Elaida. Seriana Sedai - 30/10/2009 09:20:31 PM 609 Views

Tar Valon is a nation Sidious - 31/10/2009 09:20:43 AM 732 Views
The Aes Sedai are not. The Tower as a whole rules the polity of Tar Valon. Cannoli - 31/10/2009 11:34:42 PM 836 Views
The "Elaida's election was illegal because of Black Ajah Sitters" is really an absurd argument Legolas - 01/11/2009 12:06:32 AM 798 Views
It wasn't absurd. Just clever... fionwe1987 - 01/11/2009 03:33:22 AM 820 Views
I wasn't saying the rebels had no cause for rebellion. Just that the election *was* legal. Legolas - 01/11/2009 10:38:59 AM 824 Views
Hmm..... Sidious - 06/11/2009 04:18:14 PM 674 Views
I take it she'll carefully avoid bringing up the war vote, then. *NM* Legolas - 08/11/2009 12:47:21 AM 315 Views
Not a problem... fionwe1987 - 08/11/2009 06:17:39 AM 741 Views

Events do seem to suggest otherwise. *NM* Legolas - 31/10/2009 04:40:42 PM 448 Views
I don't agree with all of that, but yes, Egwene's successes are a little too much. Legolas - 31/10/2009 04:30:32 PM 821 Views
