Re: but TaskmasterJack Send a noteboard - 04/12/2009 05:04:12 PM
Unfortunately the story didn't go exactly like Semirhage wanted - she expected torture and pain, but was only given humiliation and cheap interrogation, that eventually broke her. Later however, I think she fully lived up to her legend as the Lady of Pain. Rand was completely broken by her skills. She was by far more sadistic than any of the Chosen have ever been, and she even did it with saidin and physical force - imagine if she'd used her natural abilities.

If you know in your bones that you're that person, does one episode of spanking send you scrambling across the floor to retrieve the beans? I like the scene with Rand. It was exciting and tense. But I do not like the scene with Cadsuane, even though I did think it was unexpected (for me) and mildly amusing.


I agree. I liked Cadsuane's solution, but I would have been content with her simply shoving Semirhage face-first into the beans, rather than Semirhage actually breaking down and doing as Cadsuane said. Ideally, Cadsuane would get to humiliate Semirhage with the spanking and beans treatment, but Semirhage wouldn't truly be broken, only shamed and pissed.

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 416 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 434 Views
