She lost her advantage?!? Siuan probably saved her life

by no longer being inside the Tower garnering favor over Elaida. Her back was to the wall at this point. The BA in the camp had to be eliminated before she went back or they could have easily scattered to the wind, or worse, created more chaos during a real battle!
I think a BA attack unlikely, for reasons I stated previously. But this is irrelevant because the tower would soon recognise Egwene.
Egwene's battle prep was thus irrelevant - and very nearly a CATASTROPHE. A few more minutes and she would have assaulted a Tower that was ready to give itself up!
This near-disaster was averted by luck. She made no attempt to gather intel.
Her "leadership" was crap. And her cowed advisers acted cowed.
Note that this is in response to claims of her perfection. She did ok in (her) circumstances. Doing ok is not "perfect", especially where her assumptions were shown to be wrong.
.. Oh, and surely she would have been in MORE danger from BA if in the tower? No Elaida to protect her. Mesaana on the loose. Chaos all about. Fookrooted. Kill her and she may just be a Seanchan casualty.
Siuan saved her life, I think.

The entire cast is full of Perfect Sues and Stuarts (I may have just made latter up)

If you plan to write that review before the last two books are out, you better get re-reading now. *NM*

Egwene had the best mix of teachers and a desire to learn. Most believable, IMO. *NM*

And yet Egwene is still a fool regarding Gawyn.

I'm re-reading the series now for the first time in years. Egwene has always been a weak character.

I think you'll find few people who agree with you on both of those counts...
