  1. Her view that "The White Tower is more important than anyone or anything ever created or known to mankind" has gotten rather annoying. I completely agreed with what Nynaeve said after she did the 100 weave test in ToM. To paraphrase, it was something like "Aes Sedai try to act like we know what's best for the world and that we need to be a part of what's happening while we separate ourselves from it at the same time." Not a very good paraphrase, but oh well, I don't have my book.

     

    Coincidentally, Nynaeve was easily my least favorite character until she and Lan got married. It's like she changed after that, whether or not her marriage was the reason or just happened at the same moment I'm not too sure on, but she has easily become one of my favorite, if not my favorite, characters of the last 3-4 books.

     

    I don't think that it was her marriage that changed her so much, as the removal of her block. Previously she had to force herself to get angry to get past her block. It was a coping mechanism that both was effective and annoying. Once she no longer had to get angry to channel, the real Nynaeve was allowed to show. People tend to do what works for themselves, getting angry with the block worked to channel, but made her very hypocritical and annoyingly funny. With the block gone, it no longer works for her so she doesn't act that way anymore.
