Every main female character we meet is rightfully blessed with a steel backbone and an indomitable will, true to the Jordanian vision. I can't wait for the cheers from the audience falter and die as the impending wave of executive paralysis at Armageddon rears its ugly head in the later seasons.

The later books can be read as the Armageddon of ego death.

What was it Rand/Lews Therin said? Ah yes. "We were an army of generals" and that is how the Age of Legends died.

#yes this is about the Sheriam Sedai and Elayne scene #i liked it!#it gave important context for why Egwene starts to like her.#Elayne and Nynaeve's similarities are actually very important #And Egwene clicking into seeing Elayne as a Nynaeve-kin-personality is going to do a lot of the relationship building for the writing #but also. I'm so glad they're writing in the really weird Robert Jordan quirk where every woman is strong #sure of herself and defiant of authority or is the authority #And I can't wait for it to all come apart.#too much of the good becomes an evil etc #wheel of time #wot on prime #no spoilers here #if you think steely female characters are a spoiler you are not ready for wheel of time in any form.#there are so many of them it's AGGRAVATING
