Funny thing, about opinions. We all have em and they don't all agree.

I also disliked how Sanderson writes Mat and I REALLY dislike how he writes Perrin and do NOT get me started on how he wrote Cadsuane. <br /><br />Much like Cads (who is a really neat character who I like a great deal who has been completely and utterly savaged in Sanderson's hands, sadly), characters that Sanderson the Fan seemed to dislike suffer in their POV chapters. I think with a bit more neutral or sympathetic authorship, he could have been frustrating, illogical, but not over the top the way he was here. <br /><br />Don't get me wrong--he's done a great job with a situation that would make lesser folks faint but I think that some characters have suffered. Inevitable, for certain, but a shame. Gawyn drove me a bit nuts but this chapter and a few others have seemed a bit too much to me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4833204375789249557.post-92143691286816736022011-06-24T15:43:07.794-04:002011-06-24T15:43:07.794-04:00Asmodean isnt dead he has been commenting on damny...Asmodean isnt dead he has been commenting on damnyouautocorrect.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4833204375789249557.post-4233793736127073632011-06-24T11:49:26.265-04:002011-06-24T11:49:26.265-04:00i dont think it was that unlikely for him to suppo...i dont think it was that unlikely for him to support Elaida over Siuan. he doesnt know her or trust and has sent his sister away in secret but he has known Elaida all his life. i dont really think he likes but he would think she look out for ELayne and stop whatever stupid plans Siuan had involved her in.<br />and i dont think Mesaana needed him to stop the warders she had moved her own forces into the tower already and any blacks could kill warders that got to close and claim self defense.<br />but i could be wrong this might be the first time a forsaken has actually planned ahead.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4833204375789249557.post-26859854034822944552011-06-24T10:46:54.003-04:002011-06-24T10:46:54.003-04:00I had always thought that Gawyn was under compulsi...I had always thought that Gawyn was under compulsion when the tower split, and still is.<br /><br />His irrational hatred for Al'thor and his unlikely support of Eladia seems like the work of Mesaana. <br /><br />She could have realized that hammar and the other warders may have restored Siuan, so she got Gawyn, compulsed him to not only side with Elaida, but to kill his friends and teachers to do it. <br /><br />And she could have put a little something in that compulsion to make sure he never, ever helped Al'thor.TommyBoy52https://www.blogger.com/profile/16445878348309045269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4833204375789249557.post-53306571332456760192011-06-23T12:17:33.112-04:002011-06-23T12:17:33.112-04:00i agree with everything you wrote it just seems ha...i agree with everything you wrote it just seems harsh at the end of the day Andoran prince are raised to be little more than attack dogs for their mothers or sisters. For all the rank and power they appear to have they are just glorified servants and it shows in how Elayne acted to her brothers and in his later actions. to me he reads like a dog thats been kicked and doesn't know why or what to do next, he is arrogant but that is how he was raised to be. morgase only noticed how bad a job she did with her children when she meets galad for the first without the power of her throne to put him in his place.<br />i feel sorry for gawyn and elaida they are what i expect talented people to become when they are set on a path and spoiled because of their skills and no one bothers to make sure they are becoming good people instead just effective ones.<br />plus i still want to know what fain did to elaida when he was in the tower.<br /><br />as to his allegiance to the tower despite being someone who likes nearly all the aes sedai but the greens(they all annoy me so far) and blacks i cant stand the white tower. i cant think of a good reason why Gawyn or anyone at all should serve them as a group they are completely useless and far more arrogant than Gawyn could ever dream of being.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
