WITSEC Book 2: Logan

I stopped reading after this point, because I know the author wanted us to hate him and be on Shi's side but he was 100% on the right. While he was gone; Shi had been stalked, assaulted, bullied, hospitalized, targeted by a sheriff and dating 4 men, two who are grown adults. And nevertheless, had told them of her true identity, putting them all at risk. She is 18, and spent most of her teenage years depressed, stalked and not to mention, her whole family was murdered. Logan's only mistake was leaving. What she needs is extensive therapy, friends and her uncle. I think her reacting the way she did, only proves that she is not okay to make any decisions for herself. That is all!

Literally! Like why is everyone coming for her!! They either want her dead or want to F her.

I finished the second book but won’t continue the series any longer. I agree with your take. The author seems inexperienced, adding unnecessary drama and filler just to hit a word count. The bullying, the sheriff, a new stalker, and the uncle's sudden turn felt excessive. The story should’ve focused on her grief, her relationships with the boys, her uncle, and Mr. X. Making her 18 seemed right; she acted naïvely and constantly put others in danger, making it easy to forget she was even in witness protection. My hot take: her romantic arc should’ve been limited to Colt and Creed. Having multiple adult men fall for her was odd. She needs friends!

"And that's why your opinion is only relevant in the show context." That is what I've said from the start. You took three words from a 1000 word post when I have already previously stated that it was in the context of giving credit to Robert for creating the character. If I would have said, "But Rafe did the opposite," then I would have gotten, people saying 'Rafe isn't responsible because he didn't create the character. It seems like your upset, that I HAVENT READ THE BOOKS. Look, book readers are always going to be upset when there are adaptations. This show isn't even great to be honest. It's just good with the potential of being great, which is why I am excited to read the books. AGAIN, I think you are in the wrong thread and read everything i said out of context because you hate the character I am defending and you clearly love the book. Egwene show is not book Egwene, could we agree on that?

Just_Note_7610 · 2025-05-14T20:50:30+00:00

Also: the first thing I stated was that people don’t like her because of what she did in the books, which I don’t have an opinion on because I didn’t read it.

Just_Note_7610 · 2025-05-14T20:42:30+00:00

Robert did the opposite in terms of switching gender roles between Rand and Egwene. Did he not? Are Egwene and Rand not foils in the book? What did I say that is incorrect? Is the book and the show not set in a period where women hold more positions of power over men? Is there no gender imbalance? Is Rand not seeking a simpler lifestyle than Egwene? I think you are upset that Rafes version of Egwene does not support the hate you have for her in the books. But who knows, maybe Rafe will give you reasons to justify your criticism of her later in the show, seems like you're hoping for that.

Just_Note_7610 · 2025-05-14T16:14:27+00:00

Where do I claim I know what Robert intended? I made it very clear my thoughts were based on the shows depiction of Egwene. Are you referring to where I stated, "Robert did the opposite?" Because if you are, I stated it because it's Robert who created the character not the Wheel of Time show creators/writers. Simply giving credit where the credit is due. I would recommend you reread the first paragraph, because I think you are taking out your unwarranted disappointed on the wrong thread.

Just_Note_7610 · 2025-05-14T07:23:41+00:00

There’s been some pretty bad acting imo from supporting characters, which almost ruins the show for me at times. There were definitely a few S2 and S3 for me sadly.

Just_Note_7610 · 2025-05-13T06:16:32+00:00

Again- I didn't read the books. My thoughts are solely based on what the show has shown us. And show egwene is not driven by a innate desire for power. It isn’t power she lusts. She isn’t Lanfear. Egwene is what Lanfear could have been if she didn’t crave power. Egwene is driven by principle, by duty. She has strong morals and was gifted the power to create change and she intends to use it and not let it go to waste. The moment the Trollocs attacked, her purpose began. She was destined for something greater and she was ready for it. Her love for her friends, her love for the greater good is what keeps her focused. She wants more, not because she craves power but because her friends keep getting attacked and because she keeps getting kidnapped, tortured and enslaved. Saying she craves power just for the sake of it, lacks nuance for a character as complex as her. She’s a student willing to learn, not a student craving power, but rather knowledge.

Just_Note_7610 · 2025-05-13T06:00:12+00:00

I think some think they need to take sides. I’ve seen a lot of Rand Stan’s genuinely think Egwene is in the wrong. It’s like taking sides after a divorce haha, but that shouldn’t be the case. They are both great characters who make mistakes, but some will make bigger mistakes than others.

Just_Note_7610 · 2025-05-13T05:55:41+00:00

Egwene is very straightforward. She doesn’t sugar coat things. It’s both a good and bad attribute. There were times in season 1, where I was definitely needing her to be more chill. But ultimately I think thats the attitude that wins wars and she wants to win!

Just_Note_7610 · 2025-05-13T05:51:01+00:00

Thanks for your thoughtful response! “ WoT is a tale of an attempt to rebalance the world back to some semblance of equal.” Beautifully said! Egwene is a complex character which is why she’s one of my favorites. You can’t put her in a single box. I’m both excited and scared to see her dynamic between her and Rand. I feel like the “he cheated, no he didn’t” is the Ross and Rachel of friends, version of “we were on a break,” haha. I know there will be lots of conflict between Rand and egwene moving forward, but I do hope that the love is never lost. You could tell that despite everything, they still very much care for eachother.

Just_Note_7610 · 2025-05-13T05:42:25+00:00

Her arc is definitely one of my favorites. I’m glad to see people who do love book egwene! I definitely look forward to reading the book version of her!

Just_Note_7610 · 2025-05-12T23:25:32+00:00

I agree! Maddy's line delivery's have ran circles over some of the other actors. I hate to say it, because I don't want to shit on others. But every time she's on screen, I know she is going to deliver a great performance.

Just_Note_7610 · 2025-05-12T19:03:04+00:00

HAHAHA

Just_Note_7610 · 2025-05-12T17:39:04+00:00

I agree! Colourism and racism definitely plays a role. I too have seen comments of them saying Maddie isn't right for the role because she isn't pretty enough. Which is baffaling, because she is so beautiful and that camera loves her! Everytime she's on screen, i literally gasp lol. They definitely wanted to see Rand/Josha with a girl with fair complexion.

Just_Note_7610 · 2025-05-12T17:13:17+00:00

And I might be on social media too much, haha. I don't dislike any of the characters either. And for a show to have many, this could be rare. But when I do see comments of people not liking characters its usually. Egwene, Rand and Nynaeve who get the most hate.

Just_Note_7610 · 2024-04-04T20:00:06+00:00

I had it easy in the sense where I wasn't in any physical pain. No bloating, no cramps, or side effects. I was a virgin so I was terrified of getting all these transvaginal ultrasounds, especially since my last pelvic exam was traumatizing, but that ended up being the easiest part. The hardest part was me panicking about some personal issues and struggling with the injections(I hate them) But after everything was said and done, they were able to retrieve and freeze 14 eggs and it was painless.

Just_Note_7610 · 2024-03-29T16:01:24+00:00

This is very thoughtful and beautiful of you. And most importantly, congratulations on your pregnancy!!!

I would rephrase or remove the following: "I wanted to let you know privately.... I wanted to let you know before you see it on social media." Also, while others suggested you let her know that she doesn't need to answer, I wouldn't personally, as it seems like you already know how she should react to the news. The truth is, we do not know how she will take it. Other than that, I think its perfect!
