where are you in Song of Ice & Fire?  I read through book 4.

Wheel of Time has had violence up to where you are; mostly towards fictional creatures and mostly in battle.

I do not recall Galad claiming any character stupid/wrong either in thought or in speech.

Galad to me seems to think things through before saying/doing anything.

about Egwene; she does not seem to be a know-it-all to me either.

Elaida seemed like-able (at least partly) until Shadow Rising.

and her treachery/cowardliness seemed to start long before the Sanderson books.  treachery, I think deposing Siuan; cowardliness, I think mostly her commands in books 5 through 11 and into the Sanderson books (she never attempted to do any of those things herself).

 

actually, each reader's reason/reasons could be different.  and I recall some readers that seemed to dislike him after his first POV; if I recall correctly, those were around books 10 & 11.

from what I recall of the first books, he seemed to change quite a bit before his first POV; so his thoughts could have been different in his earlier scenes.

 

Books 10&11?

 

Mat's first PoV is chapter 19 of The Dragon Reborn when he wakes up.

Up till that point we had only seen Mat though someone else's eyes and, except for a handful of chapters in the beginning, a tainted Matt at that.

 

was referring to the things the readers disliked about Mat; not Mat's first POV.

shall edit the post.

Elmindreda; the girly-girl phase of Min? I can see how that would be hate-able (or dislike-able).

Lini; main reason for a reader to hate/dislike her I would guess would be her various sayings. or possibly her trying to hitch Morgase & Tallanvor.

by the way, I do not hate any of those characters/actions.

about whitecloak hate; my impression was (and is) that the attack gave reason to hate that group.  not necessarily more reason to hate Aes Sedia in general.

more reason to suspect; it seems to me that the attack did not change whitecloak's level of suspicion.

about Egwene being jealous; from what I recall of those scenes, she did not express any jealousy in thought or speech or action.  I recall only concern in those scenes towards Rand.  and I do not recall Min being mentioned within any character's thought or speech in those scenes.

only told where the info would be; not the info itself.  like other posts of mine in this thread; and the original poster seemed to not think of "too much" being revealed with those posts.

Noam; the last books reveal stuff about him.

your question about Perrin's future; part of the answer is revealed in the same set of chapters.  the rest, in the last books.

I'll try to be more careful from now on.

next time we see Egwene and Nynaeve I think is several chapters from where you are at.

Min's next on-screen appearance is in next book.

next time Min & Egwene are together I think is in the last book; though only for short periods of time.

Masema is spelled right.

from going through the scene, it seems to me that Perrin did not summon the wolves at that time.  but he will in later books.

Leya; it seems to me that there was not much Perrin (or anyone) could have done.  and it seems to me that Perrin did try to step up but was too late.

the original poster has told in several posts to not be provided specifics.

also, anyone's understanding about anything can be influenced.

from what I recall of this book, Rand's POVs in this book occur in between 2 other "main" characters; until the end of the book.

Sorry. Been sick with stomach flu. Haven't done much reading.

I think sickness would be a good time for reading; for anyone.

edit::  anyone able to read.

As I learned from Ingtar, you never know who can be trusted so I'll be having a weary eye towards any new characters from here on.  

a better basis for judging any character ("new" or "old") would be their actions.

the identity of Bors is revealed in book 4.

Ingtar was at the Darkfriend gathering.

I recall several book series that have more than 1 author.  James Bond; Left Behind (though it was co-authored); Infinity Ring; Dr Who.  and maybe Sherlock Homes.

some chance of Robert Jordan's ghostwritten book not published by Tor/Forge; especially if any of his other books (under any name) were published by different company/companies.

to the original poster::  could you provide the link of the Wikipedia page?

wiki sites; I would trust mainly the stuff they tell the source of.  also the stuff other sources repeat.

not much beyond those.

the 4 month portal stone trip; the books do not explicitly tell the visions of the others, but we get hints of one other character's towards the end of the book.

Liandrin; several things are revealed about her in about several chapters from where you are at.  and more in upcoming books.

Fain's next on-screen appearance I think is within several chapters; but I do not quite remember.

you are not wrong about Black Ajah; their first on-screen appearance I think was in Great Hunt's Prologue.

edit::  the identities of some of that chapter's characters and the identities of various Black Ajah characters are revealed throughout the series.

the paperback release of New Spring (novel) was in 2004; which was between Crossroads of Twilight (2003) and Knife of Dreams (2005).  those are books 10 & 11 respectively.

my first time through the prequel was at the start of my second time through the series.

trollocs; found the scene last night.

do not recall it happening to any human character.

love/hate/like/dislike/etc can differ between different readers and between different times through.

me; I pretty much liked both Perrin and Mat in all my times through.

first on-screen appearance of Rand's 3rd lover I think is in book 3.  later books give more clues.

some later scene in book 2 gives an indicator of her; chapter 37.

about Nynaeve's hatred of Moiraine; scenes you already read kind of give Nynaeve's reasons.  Moiraine taking the boys and Egwene out of Two Rivers; and Nynaeve feeling responsible for the safety of those 4 (she was their Wisdom).  Nynaeve's arrival at Baerlon and her discussion right after Shadar Logoth are the scenes I am referring to.

Selene; book 4 confirms several things about her.

from my understanding, the Companion is based on what was originally intended.  I recall another thread mentioning some differences between Companion and books; one being Bela's fate.

edit::

from re-reading the scene, fire came out of Aginor's mouth and eyes.  not sure if Rand could have caused that at any time; or any channeler.

as far as I recall; Fire always started outside of its victims.
