I'm getting so tired of reading the Wheel of Time series by Robert Jordan. I've finished book 7, which is an entire book that basically nothing happens in that furthers the plot. Oh hey, there's this cool bowl that can change the weather, so we're gonna spend two whole books looking for it and then not using it when it is found, even though the drought is surely killing as many people as the Shadow is right now.

Also, I know that Rand needs help, wants us to join him, all of that, but I think I'll just go over here and do this other thing instead, even though someone else could easily have done this thing. Rand can just sit and wait for me until I'm damn good and ready to return to him and do the thing he wants me to do, the thing that only I am capable of doing in the whole world. Which might be never actually, cause I won't be bossed around. Not even by the guy who's trying to save the whole world.

Besides that, everyone uses balefire for everything, despite the fact that it completely erases the entirety of a person's life, including any instances of them coming into other people's lives. Though this can tear holes in the pattern that the wheel weaves, and is extremely dangerous, all the main magic users continue to use it on people like the Forsaken, who are very important threads in the pattern, with little to no bad consequences. I'm getting so mad about this. Like, seriously Rand, Eguwayen, Avienda, do you not realize that you could erase yourselves from existence? What happens if Rand no longer exists to fight the Shadow? Are you people stupid? Can I reach into the book and shake you?
