Review: What I feared is coming to pass. The YA dummies have taken root without any sort of emotional development other than flirting and/or righteous retribution. When not tugging on long braids in anger or blushing over hunky shirtless sword dudes, their male counterparts are playing the reluctant heroes with ever tightening brows. Even when facts hit them all right in the fukin face, they still are in denial or disbelief. So my question is, "How long can this shjt go on?". Well as long as the nights I am willing to read it.
Morraine continues to be this central figure that is more schoolmarm to the hormonal adolescents than a magic wielding tempest. The little shjts constantly decry their state of being yet willingly go on dangerous quests for no other reason than that their friend is going. Why they tend to iterate that they are fully grown men or women and will not suffer being treated less than so, I have no idea. "I have tits! I am not a baby!" wears thin after awhile.
So why keep reading when characters are obviously heading downhill? Mat. Put simply he has grown into a different sort of man with no aspirations other than to gamble and live in the moment. He is at once daring and gallant when the needs arise yet runs for his life as situations dictate. He is acerbic to the point of obnoxiousness yet doesn't cross the line into perfidy. I like the Ailemen clans and the Ogier, but that is expected. Who doesn't like a friendly and affable 10 foot tall smurf. Zarien has come into play late in the game and for some reason opens her big mouth all the time under the chastisement of the adults. More growing evidence that the author planned to add more stupidity throughout this series.
Egwene's gurl crew has come close to being erased and I wish the author had had the balls to do it. Rand is stumbling around in denial because every novel needs a Kevin Costner. So I continue on as I have nothing else to read.
