I think what I like most about what Brandon Sanderson has to say about The Shadow Rising is how he likes parts that other people don’t tend to like. He doesn’t even mention why it’s my favorite book, the breaking of the White Tower.

No, one of the things he liked about it resonates with me as well. When it comes to Perrin and Faile, I am a big fan. I agree with him about Faile being misunderstood. I mean, in a way, I sort of am Faile in many ways. Too many people loathe her. But she is my absolute favorite female character of the series. (Mat is my favorite male character.) If WoT’s new writer also likes Faile, I think that bodes well for how she is treated in A Memory of Light!
