    What's up with Faile? - The Shadow Rising spoilers

    I forgot all about this thread and coming back to it after getting all the way through FoH and now halfway through LoC. My opinion has changed more in her favor as TSR went along and their wedding scene was very sweet. Learning more about who she is and her background really helped. I am looking...

    What's up with Faile? - The Shadow Rising spoilers

    I'll keep everyone updated on how my opinions change as I go along. I'm assuming it'll be rounding back to Perrin and Faile soon after everyone's had their "fun" in the waste and Rhuidean where I'm at now. Although I would like to get back to Min in Tar Valon after that cliffhanger chapter

    What's up with Faile? - The Shadow Rising spoilers

    I'm nearly 400 pages into TSR now so I have a ways to go yet and haven't yet reached learning more about her background and how she is as a person. At the moment she feels a little one dimensional but I do expect my opinion will change too

    What's up with Faile? - The Shadow Rising spoilers

    I don't think it's weak at all and if anything pretty clever in something that's simple on the surface but more complicated beneath. I've always believed that not everything in a story needs to have a big flowery explanation for why it's there and can be covered by something that takes away the...

    What's up with Faile? - The Shadow Rising spoilers

    I read someone once point out that RJ's creation of ta'veren is pretty genius because it avoids any plot holes having to be explained

    What's up with Faile? - The Shadow Rising spoilers

    That's what I was wondering too since I heard he handled writing romantic relationships in odd ways when I first started reading the books. That makes sense. It just felt oddly paced that he saw her in trouble and that she was about to die so jumped in to save her. I thought it might also be...

    What's up with Faile? - The Shadow Rising spoilers

    There is something I don't understand regarding her and Perrin and why he felt the compulsion to save her after he'd been trying resist and stay away from her in The Dragon Reborn. Then suddenly in The Shadow Rising they're together? Is this because we're just supposed to accept events that...

    What's up with Faile? - The Shadow Rising spoilers

    I'm not quite there yet but have seen how buddy buddy she is with Bain and Chiad when they entered the waygate and it hasn't yet circled back around them yet. Currently I'm right after Rand has made his plans known and just used the portal stone to get everyone to Rhuidean using the angreal...

    What's up with Faile? - The Shadow Rising spoilers

    Faile has only been around a short time still so I still want to give her a chance. Nynaeve grew on me after her introduction and when I'd gotten to know her better as a character. Moiraine has also never annoyed me :look

    What's up with Faile? - The Shadow Rising spoilers

    That's what I'm starting to get out of things is she needs to let Perrin just talk instead of expecting him to magically know what she wants or is thinking on top of taking every opportunity to debase him. I don't find Egwene and Elayne to be nearly as annoying as Faile (though they definitely...

    What's up with Faile? - The Shadow Rising spoilers

    That's what I was hoping would eventually happen regarding her that she matures and grows as the story goes along. Nynaeve grated on me at first but she's grown on me now that I've gotten this far in and I can say if I'd read these books when I was younger she would have been a character I...

    What's up with Faile? - The Shadow Rising spoilers

    I try to give every character a chance and there aren't any in particular that I loath completely until Faile showed up and has irked me more and more with every scene she's in. I hate the way she treats Perrin and speaks to him and her entire attitude. Does she change at all as the books go...
