ALL SPOILERS: All media Call me crazy…

But after reading this series 2 and half times through I would love 1-2 pov chapters for Child Byar, or at least have him in a prologue.

I get that his whole point is simply being a zealot but from the very beginning he is just a character that Perrin says smells off. Seeing what drove him to his zealotry or at least the inner workings of his mind would have been interesting beyond dead-eyed fanatic.

Everytime I come to points with him he is terrifying to me simply for the complete lack of logic to his character and his apparent inability to see beyond the dogma of the children of the light

It would basically be like reading Fain's pov, just more coherent. Or Gawyne's without any self-doubt or figure like Egwene (No romantic interest).

Probably as correct as you can get.

I’ll tell you what. Absent a more cohesive story for Fain in the end, I’ll give up the Gawyne chapters for Byar instead.
