Why Do I Keep Doing This To Myself (A paranoid guy who seems to hate most things reading WOT REALLY slowly)

[Leyrann]

Still on the prologue... wow this thing is long.

 

I'm sad that Pedan is wrong about literally everything. He seems like a really cool guy

 

Longest prolouge (book 10 or 11) is 100 pages...

 

Who was Pedan again?

 

Honest question: How do you kill someone who's T'averen? How could a villain come up with a plan to best someone that reality is trying to keep alive?

 

How? I don't know. Noone does. Except maybe Robert Jordan (well, he DID) and everyone else involved in the writing.

[EmperorAllspice]

Not Pedan (god, I'm bad at names)

 

Pedron Niall. Leader of the COL

[Leyrann]

I must say I actually like Niall, despite the fact that he's a Whitecloak. To me, he's more reasonable than nearly all other Whitecloaks.

[EmperorAllspice]

I'm a fan of villains. So him being an antagonistic whitecloak does nothing to stop me loving him

 

Emperor Allspice's favourite characters so far!

2. Rahvin

3. Gareth Bryne

4. Asmodean

10. Nynaeve

[lolguy26]

You might end up liking mat (and hating nyaneve)

 

 

[EmperorAllspice]

I've always kinda liked Nynaeve. Especially now that the world is crapping on her and Egwene is being horrible to her.

 

I don't hate Mat (he's probably in my top 20) He's just too... whiny. and he doesn't share any nice moments with anyone. I was SUPPOSED to start loving him in book 3 too. but I hated him there

[lolguy26]

I actually liked him after I think book 7-8 (once he gets time to shine)

 

 

[EmperorAllspice]

Hmmm, interesting.

[lolguy26]

But the most annoying thing is his dislike for lords

 

(I hope it isn't a spoiler)

 

 

[Leyrann]

You might end up liking mat (and hating nyaneve)

 

And you'll either end up loving Egwene, or hating her. There seems to not be an in between at Dragonmount. I'm a bit on the loving Egwene side, but that's also a bit influenced by all the Egwene hate.

[EmperorAllspice]

I despise Egwene as she is now.

 

I don't like how arrogant and manipulative she's becoming. and apparently, that only gets worse

[Leyrann]

To me, she's leading the Aes Sedai to become what they once were (SERVANTS of all, not RULERS of all) through the only way possible for them: Manipulating.

[Leyrann]

Also, WHERE IS THIS PARANOID PART OF YOU?????

[EmperorAllspice]

The paranoid thing comes from other interests I have. I'm alwaysworried that characters in shows I love are gonna get shafted or that I'm not going to like something and such.

 

And also, I don't care what a person is doing at large, you still need to be able to bare them as an individual. Egwene is arrogant and manipulative. and so far, I don't think she's ever been treated as being in the wrong

[EmperorAllspice]

Heh, I love how Rand himself is getting tired of how much of an insufferable jerk he is XD

[Leyrann]

I must say that I can't recall many moments where she actually WAS wrong. It's some time ago though I read Wheel of Time outside the already released parts of A Memory of Light and some parts of Towers of Midnight.

[Leyrann]

Oh, Rand at more points really doesn't like what he's become.

[EmperorAllspice]

I must say that I can't recall many moments where she actually WAS wrong. It's some time ago though I read Wheel of Time outside the already released parts of A Memory of Light and some parts of Towers of Midnight.

 

and to many people (myself included) that's not a good thing. Characters (especially if they're meant to be manipulative) are meant to be fallable. To have exploitable flaws.

[Leyrann]

Well, she makes some mistakes later on. But she's also good in taking her advancement when making mistakes. For example, in the end of, I think Crossroads of Twilight, she makes like the biggest mistake she could have made (excluding mistakes that would make Aes Sedai die), but she manages to take advancement of it, and with that speeds up the reunification of the Tower a lot. Won't tell you what the mistake is, as that's a really big spoiler.

[EmperorAllspice]

I just want someone to beat her. Nynaeve is being proven wrong left, right and centre, and that's why I like her.

[Leyrann]

She's going to get beaten A LOT in future books. Literally.

[EmperorAllspice]

Who? Nynaeve? Or Egwene?

[lolguy26]

well Both

[_CLOUD]

Both of you, stop spoiling the goddamn story.

[lolguy26]

we have to help him satisfy his curiosity
