Brandon Sanderson / Re: The Gathering Storm - First Impressions *SPOILERS*

To be more precise, Brandon said, when asked who is his least favorite character to write, "Cadsuane." He said it quite a few times on tour, actually. There may have been others he mentioned, but this is the one that kind of jolted me because I have always liked her and wanted more of her sometimes, not less. Especially with Verin and Moiraine out of the picture for now. That is probably why RJ had lots of Cadsuane in his notes interacting in most/all of the pivotal scenes with Rand. He liked her as much as we do and I think Harriet does, too, though I chickened out when I had the chance to ask her directly, sitting right next to Brandon as she was.
I think Brandon is just being candid and honest, not unprofessional. It's not like he would have brought it up outside the context of tour questioning and I imagine her spanking episode has much to do with Brandon's dislike. It was a scene that would never have come out of his head, I think, and disturbed him, so she disturbed him. My guess.
I totally agree with you, Cyn. What is not to like?
