Arc Fatigue: Sets in around the eighth book and doesn't let up until the eleventh.
Is she needlessly self-centered and hypocritical, or was she the capable and self-confident woman the Pattern needed to make the tower whole before the Last Battle? Did she truly always love Gawyn, or was she suddenly infatuated with him after being drawn unwillingly into his Erotic Dream of her? Was her icy reception of Tuon a reasonable response to someone responsible for the horrors of damane slavery, something she herself suffered, or a rash and unwise action that nearly fractured the Forces of the Light right before the last battle?
Egwene's character has many debated points as well.
Was she a Well-Intentioned Extremist doing what she felt had to be done to save the world, undermined by the Black Ajah and Driven to Villainy in the process? Or was she always an egotistical madwoman who leapt at the chance to take over as Amyrlin, sealing her fate through her own follies?
Elaida, despite becoming something of a Hate Sink, is a divisive character.
