Egwene is a great character! She was not the strongest channeller, but she was the best Amyrlin in centuries. She was very loyal to Rand as Egwene, but a the Amyrlin Seat , she had to keep the dignity of her position.

I am devastated that she died. Randland lost a lot with her death, even if Randland could carry on because of her willing sacrifice.

And to her haters I would like to say that they have to evaluate her journey from the Two Rivers to Tarmon Gaidon. She was not a Tavereen, but for sure could bend and repair the pattern as well as the three Tavereen could.

I did not want her to die.....
