Verin is the only aei sedai I can put up with
Ok so im midway through ACOS and I cant put up with any of the aei sedai outside of the main POV characters and Verin. Ik Robert is making a long point on how the telephone game works basically with all the misinformation given to everyone but it makes most of these supposedly very knowledgeable and intelligent women look stupid. Like whenever a situation or a person of interest(Rand) comes up theyre only willing to consider the possibility they want to believe until geniunely shown in their face otherwise and even then they still fuck about. When deciding what to do about Rand they never even consider the idea of that they are under estimating him on his army or his ability to gather hundreds of male channelers in a few months. To the contrary tho Verin has to be the most chill aei sedai out there bc shes willing to wait before taking action until she has information. Or shes willing risk it all for some knowledge like in book 2 shes risk everyone's lives on the portal stone just for the plot like shes geniunely like "I just wanted to see what would happen" probably my favorite aei sedai since then
