Having read the series completely once, and now at Winters Heart in my first re-read since, its interesting to see your views on the characters at the first time of meeting them.  I actually had very similar thoughts with some of those characters at first, and with out going into too much detail, I think you will be surprised at how your opinions and views change on some of them. I know with me that by the end of AMOL those characters I was excited by at TEOTW weren't necessarily those characters I could stand at the end!

​Without a doubt it is worth all the little details you are given, which at the time (and often for a good 6/7 books on!) don't really seem to have any relevance yet all of a sudden something happens and *click* it all falls into place.

​Thanks for sharing your first impressions, its often hard to remember your own initial opinions after so many years have passed!

Min closely followed by Avendha and Birgette fighting it out in second place.

I know the thread is asking purely on looks but the likes of Egwene and Elayne were driving me mad as the books wore on which meant they dropped drastically in my opinion.  Over time RJ took them from one end of the scale to the other.....quite an achievement!

Hello!

Been visiting this site for over a year without ever actually signing up, and I finally asked myself, "why haven't I?"  So here I am.

Started the books when I was about 12 and then drifted away before coming back in 2012 and reading all 13 just in time for AMoL's release (I'm still searching for something to fill the void - sadly a flame just doesnt quite cut it )

Looking forward to sharing some views/theories in the future.
