but I'll go on record now that if they frick up Androl I will be pissed.


It is highly, highly unlikely he will even exist. He was purely a creation of Sanderson with no basis in any RJ notes or anything else, because he couldn't get a feel for Logain and wanted to create "some new magic" with a new character.

Its likely someone like Logain will just take on that role.

I agree. My understanding is Androl was Sanderson's opportunity to make at least a small part of the story his own. He was extremely well developed, and his magical skill set was important in how the last battle played out, though anyone who ever played the videogame Portal knows that there were many overlooked opportunities to take advantage of that skill. His interaction with Pevara in the final couple of books was beautifully done, showing the sea change that would be expected in the future as the stigma of male channeling fell away.

The resolution of the black tower difficulties can definitely be done with logain and a host of unnamed lackeys

Loggains beefed up role is going to be awesome.

SPOILERS BELOW

Thought he was chosen one spurred on by corrupt aes sedai / world ruling magic organization, captured, freed, helps take down same organization, becomes the most important disciple of the chosen one, now has to lead a fight against the corrupt half of the new big magic organization into final battle.

Getting more pov and insight into this story arc is going to be great.

I kind of feel like Jordan didnt know what he was working with in terms of logain at the beginning, how great of a story he created.

The world is so big there are several very interesting characters and substorys that we didnt have time to get in to.
