[QUOTE="forensicbuzz, post: 854217, member: 198"] In the books, they have a very close friendship from when they were Novices (16-20 years old), then Accepted (20 - 30 years old), then as full Aes Sedai. There is a reference to "pillow talk" when they're novices, but it's in the vein of "college experimentation" not lesbian relationships. Both Moiraine and Siuan have strong male love interests throughout the series. Not only does it not stay true to the storyline developed in the novels, but it also changes the dynamic of two of the strongest female characters in the story. Ironically, this series is full of very strong female characters, many more than male characters. I also hate how they've changed the development of Nynaeve in the show. I also HATE that they keep mispronouncing the names of the various places and people. Tantor Audio sat down with Robert Jordan before they did the audiobooks and went through all of the characters' names and locations to get the pronunciation correct. Amazon has literally decided that they'll just pronounce the names and places however they want to. I absolutely HATE that. All they needed to do was listen to the audiobooks for the correct pronunciation. For anyone interested in a highly complicated world-building, like Tolkien (-lite), WOT is an intriguing series. I would also recommend most of what Brandon Sanderson has written. Much better than these shows. [/QUOTE]
