She wants to control Rand at Tarmon Gai'don but at no time in this whole series is there anything to indicate that she has accumulated some kind of knowledge to guide anything or anyone; she’s been spanked plenty of times but I fail to see how this translates into having a battle plan for the final assault.

 

Yet Rand is completely relying on Min to find the answer. Wouldn't it be far better to lay out what he hopes to do and work together with the WT library to find the answer? I mean I'm sure Baerlon Community College had an excellent class on the seals but come on.

 

To your other point, I don't think anyone has ever said Egwene should take the lead. Merely that AS have been the force that has held the Shadow at bay for 3,000 years so it is only natural for the Amrylin to view things from that perspective. If Rand lays out a rational course of action at the FoM she should go along. If not than I will jump on the bandwagon as well.

Think about it for a moment; if you were going to fight a battle would you want to consult with a bunch of people that had continually demonstrated connivance against you and one another?

He has Mat Cauthon and others for military strategy and he himself has faced the Dark One's servants on many occasions so there is little that anyone in this present age can give in the way of advice.

In this battle the Dark One has his hands on his wheel, Rand has to act similarly he cannot afford to be sharing his control with anyone else or he’ll lose.

How successful a character is dependent upon believability? Is it believable that a girl of her age could have gathered sufficient knowledge and experience in the short amount of time she had in white tower too command, well command what exactly? Rand on the other hand is basically the reincarnation of Lews Therin and therefore has knowledge.

She wants to control Rand at Tarmon Gai'don but at no time in this whole series is there anything to indicate that she has accumulated some kind of knowledge to guide anything or anyone; she’s been spanked plenty of times but I fail to see how this translates into having a battle plan for the final assault. Infact what do the Aes Sedai bring to the table at all apart from spanking?

Well worth reading, in some ways he is Randesque figure, you should be able to identify with him. The world is like ‘The Wheel of Time’ set in a future where science and technology is now greatly reduced but with some other forces have emerged.

Anywhere where people weren’t constantly berating one another as if they were fools, which would probably mean I would live like Elyas Machera, the only person that seemed sane.
