Huh, I picked up on that impending romance eaaaarly on my first read. I agree with some of the others that they either come out of nowhere (Moiraine and Thom) or they go from flirtation to true love commitment foreverness in 5 minutes (Elayne and Rand) or the denial/bickering goes on for 40%...
In a way I see that, because that's how it's written also, but I also think there's so much dark content, there's a lot of room to take it in a more adult direction and I'm a little disappointed if they've chosen not to. I also don't know how they're going to do things like Tylin and Mat in a...
I didn't read it that way, I thought it would be just... handled less like king solomon's concubines. LOL. Although I love the idea of Min as bi. It works for her in my head somehow. I can't really imagine Elayne as bi though. I *can* imagine Elayne having other lovers though, or a...

Elayne, Aviendha and Min are all MAJOR storyline characters. I could kind of see a way that they might be able to cut Min, since she's primarily a support character (she has less of her own arc than Elayne and Aviendha, she's more a support character supporting at various points in the story...
I don't think we get her POV until she's made gai'shain to Sevanna. She is much more likeable to me once I start seeing her perspective from first person. Jordan is pretty good at portraying that people are not the same on the inside as they appear to others. I hope she gets good development. I...
I think Faile might work out more sympathetic if we spend less time in Perrin's head. I always think we see Perrin's frustration and confusion but she also must be confused and frustrated but we don't see inside her head and Perrin never picks up on it. I hope their relationship looks a little...
