I’m just popping in here, bumping this thread… Randomly…
I started the series over 15 years ago, stopped after Gathering Storm. I just now finished the series… like an hour ago. Still trying to process. None of my friends have read it so I had to hop back on DM…
I just needed a moment to grieve… a fictional character. 🤣 But seriously… Siuan hurt so bad… and then Egwene!
I’ve read through this thread and I understand all sentiments. I think Cadsuane will be an amazing Amyrlin. But still… all those thing Egwene had plans for. Will Cadsuane continue with the agreements with the Aeil and the sea folk?
What haunts me was her line to Tuon mere chapters before so adamant “I plan to live for centuries” ouch…
but that gives me the only clue as to why she would “Need” to die. That her justified hatred of the seanchan would hold her back from somehow finding the peace Rand wanted. (And then he just gets to ride off into the sunset with the face of a forsaken??)
I dunno… so much to process…
Anyways, I get it… I’m just mad… lol! Needed to rant somewhere where I’d be heard and get a pat on the head telling me it’s all going to be ok….
Any good fourth age fanfics out there. 🤣🤣
(Ps… forgive any spelling mistakes. I listened on audio and don’t have a paper copy anymore)
