Yeah... And then of course Rand sends her on a mission WITH PERRIN :desk

Here's the thing. There is a lot to like about Berelain to be sure. But the fact that she deliberately tries to interfere with Perrin and Faile's marriage repeatedly and over both of their objections really REALLY rubs me the wrong way. She's doing it for her own entertainment, and it drives me crazy.
Oh I don't like her very much most of the time, but I respect her eye for politics.
Katerine (Red/Black?).

What is the embassy preparing for? Why are they doing Novice exercises filled to the brim with the Power?
Why does Sam think that Rand agreed to a treaty? Was he lying to Graendal?
Egwene complains that Rand trusts no one lately, but she's done nothing to earn that trust.
until she went and spoiled it all
Yeah, he really does have good reasons for distrusting most people. I can understand the frustration on the part of Egwene/Nynaeve/Mat/Perrin, though. They've known Rand since he was a kid and so, while Rand's reasons for distrusting Egwene do make sense, I can definitely see why she's frustrated.This is something that really grates as the series goes on "Rand isn't trusting anyone, he is terrible for not trusting people" As of now it is not that bad but after the events of this book can anyone blame him for having trust issues?
LoC 35: I wonder if this loophole gets closed later, or if eventually someone decides to make someone who can't even channel into the Amyrlin.
No. I was thinking about this this morning, and I hate that Nynaeve thinks she's justified to kick Mat hard enough to make him limp. Really? And the other girls just stand there and let her get away with it. Ugh.LoC 39: Am I the only one who thinks that Mat should have kicked Nyneave back?
