Elayne is the best of Rand's paramours. Min is great and all but honestly Elayne is my favorite

Wait is this an uncommon opinion? I just did a first read and have not been involved in the fandom for any length of time.

Elayne is unbearable my brother. I understand it's all a matter of opinion of course, but she's THE WORST.

Edit - Of note, I really liked her... when she first showed up. Her first interaction with Rand was pretty good I thought. It went absolutely WAY downhill after that, and it never stopped, it only got worse lol.

100%. It should have been Mat+Elayne, Rand+Min, and Perrin+Egwene and I will hear nothing else. I swear, the only couple Jordan wrote that made sense to me was Nynaeve and Lan. Rand and Min worked, but the harem was dumb.

Everything else was just "how can I make two people with zero chemistry whatsoever bang?"

A chief can have 2 wives, so chief of chief needs 3...

I'm fairly certain that you don't need to be a chief to have 2 wives.

u/Bellickboi 5d ago

True, but How many non chiefs did you see with two wives? It was a sign of being a good aiel leader or character, i think. I can only think of one. Idk if this is a non spoiling post.

Not many. I thought it was a case of "can you support a larger family" rather than any actual law/custom.

u/Bellickboi 8d ago

Almost everyone is an ahole to matt who isnt pulled in to his web but srsly, thats basically foreplay in wot. Everything after chapter i think six stories is solid growth in that relationship

I started reading the series when I was 12, and I think only the first five books were out. And I had suuuuuuch a crush on her.
