oooooohhhhhhh wot posts again.
first, yes RJ dragged book 10 way the fuck out. I think it pacing is perfect due to its shock it puts on readers. however, book ten needed some snipping and I think the first 200 or so pages should had been in book 9.
second) RJ doesn't make women bitches, to me. he gives them the power, power warps people. the Aes Sedia and Wise Ones have to be very harsh like a drill instructor so no one dies. however, i'd personally love to slap all of them and teach them manners.
3) i will not be shocked if taim is or is not demandred. my mind aches in confusion.
and wasn't Flynn seperated by a large time frame from the other Ashamons? i think i remember him being away from taim all together for a very long time and then be moved up in rank.... thus shocking demmy.
i could be wrong.
