Nynaeve is going to be extremely annoying and will insist on tagging along.

Nynaeve? Annoying? Never...  :D

I don't read spoilers.  They annoy me.  I'm just good at guessing.  I am usually right about what will happen in a book about half way through it.  I haven't decided if the foreshadowing makes the book good, or a completely unpredictable ending is what is good. :\  Depends on my mood I guess.

Right, a witch, got it! :P

Everyone take notice that I did not say this. Though the prediction was 1000% accurate...

I'm bouncy kangaroo and I'm from far away.  I like to hop hop hop all day.

xDDD  I couldn't help myself. 

EDIT:  I'm putting this on hold until I get caught up in school.  It should only take a week or so. . . . I hope. :\

Hey Miyabi, glad your enjoying WoT: tEotW :)

I'll just add that I like Min too.

Come on guys Nynaeve isn't all that bad, there are far worse women in the books. Far worse.

She is certainly not evil–she's just very, very, very annoying (and whiny).

I'm currently doing a WoT reread to prepare for the 12th book in November and I loved reading your first impressions! I know it's been a month but I hope you continue with it! :)

I haven't really commented on miyabi's comments, but if he renews his commenting, I shall begin mine. I like listening to people's thoughts on WOT.

Nynaeve = Satan. I hate her. A lot. Like with a burning fiery passion. And her braid.

but in 15 years she will be at Lanfear level

And look what happened to Lanfear! I guess I have something to look forward to though, when Nynaeve gets destroyed by other people who are much more awesomer than she is.

Mostly I just hate her because her mannerisms and personality annoy me. And because every time I read something about her, she just seems whiny. And because every time I read something about her, I think something along the lines of, "Wow, Nynaeve is pretty much useless right now. Despite being stronger in the power than pretty much all of the other Wondergirls, she has been outdone by all of them. And she still hasn't really done much that was all that productive that couldn't have been done by others. I wish she would die. Or get eaten by a trolloc, which tends to involve dying. And she just distracts from the other, much cooler, much less annoying, and much more useful characters." So yeah. Those are my general feelings on the matter. It's like other people feel about Faile (which I never really got. I like her fine, although I'll occasionally will still pronounce her name as FAIL just for the fun of it), or Elayne (which I also never really got). Not necessarily rational, but my extreme hatred is there nonetheless. I like most everyone else though.

I've just had an epiphany. The reason I don't like nynaeve is (on top of all those other things) that she pretends to be a lot more smart and/or mature than she really is. I hate people that do this in real life, and one of my greatest pleasures is making people who think that they know what they are talking about sound like total idiots. True, I occasionally think things that aren't right, or even guess at what may be the case, but when I do, I don't state it as fact. It's people that do state it as fact that annoy me. So there's the other reason. I guess. I think. Yes.
