White true it's unfortunately not a high bar to reach since the other two are retards.
Elayne thinks she's invincible while pregnant after getting the Foretelling that her children grow up, but then proves just how pants on head retarded someone can be at misinterpreting prophecy when she is almost murdered by Darkfriends who were going to use magic to keep the children alive, and this revelation comes moments after Brigitte gets killed because of Elayne's retarded actions. She was extremely fucking lucky the Horn of Valere was blown just moments afterwards.
Aviendha however sees her own Foretelling and thinks her 4 children are going to ruin the world and all it takes to break this worry is one of the Aiel Wise Women suggesting doing something as simple as naming any of the 4 children something different. It's absurdly simple in proving how fallible the Doorway prophecies might be by addressing a very old trope of "if you see the future you change it", but Aviendha couldn't even figure that one out.
Conversely Min actually solves shit by figuring out Herid Fel's research into the Seals and what needs done to beat The Dark One.
I've forgotten so much of this. I read the first books multiple times--maybe through Lord of Chaos or Path of Daggers. I've only read the later books once, and years ago.
My overarching memory of the series is that Elayne is a dumbass.
You're right, Min is kind of bestgirl by default. She's the only one who's not a total bitch to Rand 24/7.
Nice. The "Min again but a different artist" is pretty damn close to my image of Min.
Min is bestgirl.
