WoT Musing: The Destruction of the Empire and Tuon's non-reaction
While I've made my peace with Sanderson, really I have, I feel like it's worth something that one of the major ways I think he missed the mark with Tuon's character in the last three books was not giving her any grief or turmoil about the destruction of the Empire.
Tuon barely gives any thought to the fact that the entire Imperial Family has been wiped out, along with the half the imperial court, and the Seanchan continent plunged into chaos and anarchy. Tuon who loves the Empire and it's people more dearly then her own life, who has devoted her whole life to their well being. Tuon who finds anarchy and chaos horrifying, who justifies all of her actions on the basis of the order and stability that Empire brought, never really spares any thought for the fact that a thousand years of that order and stability have been shattered.
We never get a Tuon PoV written by Jordan between Tuon's release and her discovery of the news, yet I can't help but feel like it would have been a major part of her character development had Jordan kept writing. The very foundations of Tuon's whole world have been shaken to their core, almost literally, and yet....Sanderson never really tries to reflect on it. Never shows a crack in Tuon's confidence or a measure of self-reflection, even though Tuon demonstrates both when Jordan is writing her, for much smaller things.
Like so many other characters and ideas, Sanderson simplifies them for the sake of expediency, and while that's understandable to an extent, it also diminishes the series in the end.

Remember the Doorway to the Danger Zone? Yeah, it's time for Mr. Low-to-No Impulse Control to see what's up! The door takes Matto a strange place, weird rule of 3 thing going on, fae rules, etc. Mat falls victim to the classic blunder: the desire to ask follow up questions.
The answer he gets boils down to: "Go to Rhuidean." it's his fate.
ALL ROADS LEAD TO THE AIEL, LET'S GO.
The place starts crumbling around them and they hustle him out. He gets carried out like this:
while Mat is cursing out the doorway, Rand steps out, followed by Moiraine. Shoulda coordinated better, kids! Turns out the fae-Doorway creatures were speaking the Old Tongue. Mat understood them perfectly. No one admits to what they were told and they all go their separate ways.
Perrin is ready to GTFO. He goes to Loial - only to find Faile got there first. She made Loial swear an oath to take her to the Ways so Perrin can't leave her behind. I feel like this is a "please never get other people involved in your mess" moment. It's really shitty of Faile to put Loial in the middle. It's shitty of Perrin to decide to leave her behind "for her own good." The only good bean is Loial, who did not consent to be involved in your weird foreplay and is, in fact, uncomfortable.
Everyone else is also packing. Lan busts into their room and is like, “Hey, why’d you lead me to believe you were going back to the Tower, when you’re actually going to TARABON, PLACE OF AWFULNESS.” Nynaeve’s like “I never SAID I was going back to the Tower.” Practicing Aes Sedai trickery on Lan, which is kinda shitty. Lan's very worried about them (but mostly Nynaeve) going to Tarabon. He really really wants to go with them, but he’s bound to Moiraine. They make out in front of Elayne and Egwene, who are, in order, interested and embarrassed.
Meanwhile, Moiraine and Thom do their little dance of the Game of Houses which they are both good at & we get references that Thom probably (definitely) killed Moiraine’s half-brother who was w/ Morgase. Given that her half-brother was a bag of dicks, Moiraine doesn't care, except that it gives her some leverage over Thom - she wants him to go with Nynaeve and Elayne to Tarabon to help them. She'll give him the names of the Red sisters who Stilled his nephew in exchange. He's torn - he's been trying to help Rand stay out of Aes Sedai clutches.
Meanwhile meanwhile, Min's getting antsy in Tar Valon. Gawyn is being a little shit, nearly blowing Min's cover because he's trying to figure out where Elayne + Egwene are. Galad is reading the Book of Mormon Children of Light propaganda. Galad... no...
He's like: "It's got good stuff" → the stuff: "be as boring as possible and enjoy nothing." Min sees Logain crowned in glory & freaks out.
RIP Sahra - but it is kind of funny that there's a farm upstate for the Aes Sedai to go retire at.
The Perrin + Faile Train leaves the station w/ 3 Aiel on board. Faile's like "he's trying to keep me from my rightful place" and I'm like, girl, what the fuck. You two are definitely into each other but you’ve never actually, uhhh, talked about this. As they're leaving, the Stone rings & there's a big earthquake situation – Rand doing something. They make it into the Ways.
Elayne and Nynaeve are on a boat! The Sea Folk are cool.
OH – the various prophecies of the Dragon are giving big uh missionaria protectiva from Dune vibes. it's the heat prophecy. Turns out the Sea Folk have a prophecy that means they'll help Elayne and Nynaeve for free. Okay, sure. On one hand: v interesting to see all the different ways cultures have interpreted the Dragon Reborn. It really shows his importance across the world!
I get why people hate elaynes arc through this book but honestly I think its very interesting. Her personality is slowly being absorbed into her becoming the ruler of a country, and we mostly see elements of character in her interactions with others. It makes a lot of sense for the reality of ruling, shes so overworked and strained and it really casts an interesting light on earlier in the series
like she had such an opportunity to be a strong, independent, funny character through the earlier books. She has flawed arguments with aviendha and egwene, gets up to hijinks in tanchico, the circus pants arc, all her flirting with rand. But that was always just fun, a pause, a blip that she (maybe shouldnt have) taken.
and honestly I love watching her and egwene and rand slip into their roles of leadership even as it makes them lose their more fun, loose, relatable personalities theres just so much there in the ways they have to make decisions for everyone where they once got to make them just for themselves
