Do you guys literally have nothing else to read? Variant Send a noteboard - 24/03/2011 06:40:51 AM
Seriously, do you have nothing else to do? It's not like the genre is sparse in terms of Epic Fantasy.

Actually, that's the difference. We love the series but not the author. Kind of weird to not like the author of a series you highly praise but his attitude toward everything is: "I finish it on my own terms and screw everyone who actually likes my work. I'll sit here and dilly dally, leading everyone along for years without handing them anything of substance. AND if I die before I finish, I'll give a big middle finger to everyone and destroy all my notes so none of you will ever know what happened." I feel like that's a terrible, terrible attitude to have. I still do love the books, however.


Really, that's his attitude? What a prick.
