ToM. Still was better than what Jordan was writing, though. Ghavrel Send a noteboard - 25/03/2011 06:21:49 AM
In fairness, a great deal of what was good in the most recent two WoT books was probably Jordan's own writing.

Well, you're spending time on it right now. *NM* Variant - 25/03/2011 03:35:10 AM 923 Views

You, uh, just started arguing my position. Ghavrel - 26/03/2011 10:55:19 AM 1674 Views
Are you seriously that naive? MalkierKnight - 25/03/2011 01:07:39 PM 2045 Views
