I mean just imagine how hard it is to pick up a series of characters that someone else spent decades creating and then be expected to finish the series and without changing the characters.
I agree. He did a good job overall and the series ended about as satisfactorily as you're likely to get under the circumstances.
haha.
In other circumstances, I'd be inclined to think this hyperbole, but . . . that would actually explain a lot of things.
Yeah the whole Taim thing lol. Also, his divorce was why the gap between books 6 and 7 was very Martinesque.
Don’t watch any interviews with him, it will just lower your opinion of him. There was one I saw where he was telling everyone how to pronounce all his locations and character names and stuff and he came off like such a mega nerd douche in that I never bothered reading about him as a person much after that. His wife ruled his life and writings, it was pretty sad/pathetic.
Well I think so too but not in the way you are thinking. He wrote them that way as a “Aww women being adorable by nagging” way because the men just meekly accepted it the entire time. It’s like it was this cute nagging/men respond to nagging bullshit. These guys in the series were hardened killers for the most part yet these nagging women who had nothing to offer other than bitching 24/7 led them around by their nose. A true fantasy setting these guys would just backhand them and tell them to stfu. And then you had the Aeil wise women who ran everything and the hardest men on the planet just took it. If it were all queens and ladies doing this kind of stuff then it would have been more believable but this was nearly every woman/man relationship from farmhands to kings.
I suppose but there were generations upon generations of bumpkins that had never seen an Aes Sedai, it was all legends to them. Thinking the men felt shame for something that happened thousands of years ago?
