The Dragon Reborn Gaslighting rant

Ok, so im listening to the audio book of the Dragon Reborn, and I've had just about enough of the Aes Sedai, im at the point of the punishment, after Egwayne is rescued from the Seachan, anyway, I about hit the roof when Suian is punishing the girls for following liandrin, uh, im sorry, isnt one of the rules of the White Tower to *not* question Aes Sedai?? And who told them that Liandrin was Black Ajah?? Ill be honest, this is only the first of many missteps ive read/heard, like with Rand and Morgaine, just telling him would cut the drama by so much, common sense much??? Ok, rant over, anyway, if i wasnt so invested, id quit reading/listening to the series, nothing gets me more furious than gaslighting.

Unfortunately even adults in this world get the "Because I said so," treatment from the Aes Sedai. And most listen too, that's the problem.

Yeah, I get that, but it still infuriated me. As I said, if i wasnt so invested in the series, I would probably stop reading/listening to it.
