Please stop - your use of logic here is sickening! BlackAdder Send a noteboard - 06/12/2009 04:43:31 AM
Semirhage's pathetic nature is explicable in light of Verin's nature. The DO doesn't want his tools to be too clever. Graendal tried that and was used as a pawn.


But why? They can never be a threat to him. The DO is as fundamental a part of the universe as the laws of physics. He has everything to gain and nothing to lose by recruiting the most talented and able people into his ranks. I've never understood that.

Even though the DO could crush all the Forsaken and DFs under the nail of his pinky, he's probably too dumb to realize it. This is in-line with the "dumb evil" motif that is rampant in WoT.

Just think... we'll probably see someone well below the DO's strength (like Sorilea - Cadsuane's Aiel doppleganger) paddle the DO and realize he's not scary after all!

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 454 Views

I disagree darius_sedai - 05/12/2009 05:11:28 PM 894 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 463 Views

Yes, the Aes Sedai need to rediscover the meaning of "servants of all" *NM* BlackAdder - 06/12/2009 05:03:19 AM 891 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 906 Views
