Like...I get that it was hinted at, but then they had Nynaeve bring it out into the open, which...is really out of character for her too, I might add. I feel like she would chide people for being woolheads , or try to steer them away from petty drama, not stir it up.
I'm actually okay with the majority of the changes, but the biggest gripe I have was the weird Perrin/Rand/Egwene love triangle argument. Even looking at this as a separate story from the books, it felt forced for a conflict.
