Egwene's character arc
So yeahhh... I was worried she would discover Rand and Lanfear together like that 🥲 I'm sorry girl
Now, I'm a bit curious about the implications for her character arc.
One of things things I found most interesting about later books is her adversity with Rand and then later figuring out a way that lets them both work together for the Last Battle.
But I'm worried that if Show Egwene has now been cheated on, that may be a big driver of why they break up (rather than it being a mutual and amicable decision, where she even happily introduces Elayne to him) and more importantly, how she acts towards Rand in the future.
I think if it's not handled carefully, her future decisions as Amyrlin can come across as her being a "bitter ex girlfriend" and cheapening her character a bit.
My hope is that she can understand Lanfear's manipulation and not hold it against Rand so they can still break up in an amicable way later.
