I agree with all of that. nossy Send a noteboard - 04/12/2009 02:58:48 PM
I enjoyed reading Egwene, but I did have the uncomfortable feeling that she was being turned into a superhero. RJ meant that for her, I think, but I also think he would have aimed for it with more subtlety. Maybe not. I did really like reading the scenes though, and I don't mind much. After all, I imagine that all of the main characters are going to have their heroic moments in the time up to the Battle- how else will they become the characters of myth then the wheel does the turning?

And I got my hopes up much too far for Semi. I don't know what else they would have intended for her, but I didn't like that she was trivialized. Not fun to read.

If you plan to write that review before the last two books are out, you better get re-reading now. *NM* Insomdeon - 04/12/2009 03:20:31 PM 376 Views

I disagree darius_sedai - 05/12/2009 05:11:28 PM 749 Views
Egwene had the best mix of teachers and a desire to learn. Most believable, IMO. *NM* fionwe1987 - 04/12/2009 10:17:56 PM 399 Views

I'm re-reading the series now for the first time in years. Egwene has always been a weak character. Master Radishes - 07/12/2009 01:12:15 AM 747 Views
