  1. Sorry for Zombeing!?  When I read these all as they first released ages ago, I never thought to check online to see if OTHER people had thoughts on it. and now that I'm finally rereading them all I'm filled with emotional responses again but this time I have a google search bar and the realization other people share a fandom with me 😛.

     

    But yes in general Faile drives me crazy with her treatment and her forcing her ways on Perrin with so little appreciation for his.  In general the girl just loves to Double Standard. 

    Spoiler

    Then she comes zipping in with an army to the rescue, all afraid he'll be made she didn't leave him to die,

    and I get caught up in how much Perrin loves her and get all soft for a second and almost like her again.  Until the next book and she goes off the rails again.  

     

     Faile more than almost anyone other than Egwene and Gawain can get under my skin >_<.  This full series reread has if anything made me MORE emotionally responsive to the characters that grind my teeth. 

     

    Spoiler

    In FoH book when I had to read Egwene literally using nightmares to torture/assault Nynaeve in part so no one would expose her for being a rule breaker, then browbeating Nynaeve and Elayne so her own AWFUL rule breaking behind her teachers back wouldn't get caught...so high and mighty and such a crappy double standard...and ugh....she was well picked for head of the Tower, and that isn't meant as a compliment. >_>

     

    Anywho, thank you all for coming back to this ancient zombie topic to reply!  I'm so glad to know I'm not alone in my frustrations! 

    Spoiler

    Back to LoC, just got to trudge through everything till "Fire and Spirit" and chappies 29/30 and my favorite moment of the first like half of the series other than Dumais Well.  <3.

     

    Edited for proper "spoiler" shielding, as I just realized even 14 years later new people can be entering the fandom with the amazon series. >_<  Sorry!

  2. I find her hypocrisy at the start of LoC unbelievably stunning. 

    Spoiler

    She is sitting in judgement over two women getting into a fight over Will al Seem (of the shapely calves) and she is angry and barely restrained from slapping them at being so silly over a man.  She lectures them on how Men aren't fields or horses and can't be owned or claimed and they shouldn't fight over them. When that's all she did the last two books every time she imagined Perrin was interested in someone else (Imagined cause the boy never did). And this is all at the prologue for LoC well before Berelain pops into the book and Faile absolutely descends into the heights of infantile jealousy to put both women she judged to shame.
