Is there a character whose development in the course of the series was surprising to you?
Most surprising, honestly—and this is a minor character—was probably Gawyn. I remember as a kid reading the books and expecting, “Oh, Gawyn, he’s obviously going to be this super cool main character.” I felt all sorts of things about him, and then they just never materialized. Which is not unexpected if you look at the literary roots that Robert Jordan was using for Gawyn’s character, but it was surprising to me as a young kid because you read certain tropes in fiction and you expect them to be used always the same way. You know, the young, handsome, charming prince doesn’t usually turn into what Gawyn turned into.
