I’m not trying to say they are perfect. Just infuriating. Like Nynaeve and Egwene I started off loving Moraine I understood and tolerated in book 1. But as it’s gone on I find them very annoying. I will say, I finished the Fires of Heaven, and I actually love Moraine again.

So far, I’m on the end of Book 5 1. Rand 2. Perrin 3. Min 4. Mat 5. Thom 6. Lan 7. Aviendha 8. Elayne 9. Gareth Bryne 10. Nynaeve

I’m a new reader of the series, I’m almost finished with Book 5, Fires From Heaven. My question is this Am I honestly supposed to be on the Aes Sedai’s side? Or even like them? Specifically what triggered this is Nynaeve in Ghealdan. She, and many other Aes Sedai characters constantly berate and criticize men, call them stupid and untrustworthy, and then finds out she basically started a riot and war in Ghealdan. Then later in the chapter she basically just solely blames Galad for it, when she basically lit the match because she was so ignorant and arrogant at what she was doing. And the Aes Sedai are no different. The tower falling was 100% avoidable if (Soun?) wasn’t so arrogant. And in book 3 when Rand left camp to go Tear, I’d put squarely as Moraine’s fault. If she actually bothered to try to educate Rand instead of controlling him I doubt he’d have gone off on his own.
