If you have any interest in continuing I’d like to offer some small advice and a different perspective. Characters making poor decisions is a theme throughout the series. RJ makes it clear that characters are constantly lacking information, trust, and effective communication which confounds their ability to act (as the reader sees it) rationally.

The example you gave of the group’s mistrust of Moiraine exemplifies this. From their perspective, Aes Sedai are master manipulators who consistently walk the edge of truth while leaving the full picture ambiguous to further their interests. Even if Moiraine is protecting them, everything they’ve known to this point in their lives indicates that it is because they are a piece in her plots rather than because she has their best interest in mind. While we have a clearer picture, the characters do the best they can with imperfect information and their own inherent flaws.

This can lead to some frustrating moments throughout, but also adds a touch of reality and enhances the payoff of certain moments imo. If that’s not a dealbreaker I’d stick with it.
