sufganiyot fox ✡️<p>of all the changes <a href="https://babka.social/tags/WheelOfTimeOnPrime" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WheelOfTimeOnPrime</span></a> made from the <a href="https://babka.social/tags/WheelOfTime" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WheelOfTime</span></a> books, the one I most appreciate is Rand and Egwene's relationship, and to a lesser extent, the emotional intelligence of the Emond's Fielders</p><p>in the books, it's understood that Rand and Egwene would probably have gotten married, if he wasn't the Dragon and she couldn't channel, but the way it's written, they both feel very young when the books start, and they aren't actually dating/courting, and that plus the fact that the first book is almost entirely from Rand's perspective, always made their relationship feel one-sided to me</p><p>early on, he realizes that she's been accepted as woman, and thus of marriageable age, by the women of the village, and he says something like "just bc we're of age doesn't mean we have to get married right away" and she says "or at all" like the idea of marrying Rand doesn't mean anything to her one way or another</p><p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/bookstodon" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>bookstodon</span></a></span> <a href="https://babka.social/tags/audiobookstodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>audiobookstodon</span></a> <a href="https://babka.social/tags/audiobooks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>audiobooks</span></a> <a href="https://babka.social/tags/AmReading" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AmReading</span></a> <a href="https://babka.social/tags/AmReadingFantasy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AmReadingFantasy</span></a></p>
