I suppose it all depends on what the purpose of their book is. Legolas Send a noteboard - 07/12/2009 10:04:48 AM
If they want tongue-in-cheek descriptions of authors and a light tone throughout the book, in order to make for easy reading and all, it seems to fit (though that makes one wonder why they seem to look down on authors whose works are not literary enough). If they want to be taken seriously, they're perhaps not going about it the right way.

Farah Mendlesohn and Edward James on RJ, Goodkind, and Martin Larry - 07/12/2009 02:48:45 AM 1668 Views
Pretty sure Nynaeve did not have red hair. Also pretty sure she wasn't a priestess. Ghavrel - 07/12/2009 02:54:23 AM 967 Views
I think it was a tongue-in-cheek reference to an archetype, but yes, there are some errors here Larry - 07/12/2009 02:56:00 AM 740 Views
Wow! I was completely wrong about Goodkind. Gher - 07/12/2009 04:36:28 AM 805 Views

Overall, a valid assessment. Tom - 07/12/2009 02:07:47 PM 771 Views
Nynaeve doesn't have red hair! She has brown hair! Ghavrel - 07/12/2009 09:29:07 PM 777 Views
She's not a priestess, either. Other than "red-haired priestess" the rest was 100% valid. Tom - 08/12/2009 12:39:07 AM 763 Views
I mentioned her not being a priestess in my earlier post. Ghavrel - 09/12/2009 03:23:12 AM 731 Views
Don't you think that, if that were corrected, the entries would be pretty much valid? Tom - 09/12/2009 09:12:55 PM 724 Views
Of course I do. *NM* Ghavrel - 08/01/2010 07:25:31 PM 335 Views
She's a priestess archetype, though. *NM* Ouranid - 09/12/2009 09:43:50 PM 319 Views
Why wasn't I informed about the chipmunks? Werthead - 07/12/2009 11:56:51 PM 776 Views
But... it's the sweetest scene ever. StormCrow - 08/12/2009 07:40:51 PM 775 Views
Agree for the most part. When does the book officially come out? StormCrow - 08/12/2009 07:51:39 PM 906 Views
Book's been out since the summer, in the UK anyways Larry - 09/12/2009 02:33:05 AM 739 Views
So their tone *is* out of place, then? Legolas - 09/12/2009 10:52:12 AM 729 Views
Point taken. Despite not being the target audience, I'd still like to take a look at it. StormCrow - 09/12/2009 10:04:38 PM 710 Views
Erikson is like Martin? That's ridiculous! fionwe1987 - 09/12/2009 01:43:18 AM 975 Views
Influenced isn't the same as 'like'. Jacob - 21/12/2009 06:04:53 PM 773 Views
So, you're right because you're right? fionwe1987 - 28/12/2009 03:25:33 AM 801 Views
Only because I'm willing to be honest even about things that I enjoy. *NM* Jacob - 07/01/2010 06:00:02 PM 300 Views
What rot... fionwe1987 - 07/01/2010 09:54:13 PM 795 Views
I think fionwe has a point - it's not some kind of literature/non-literature divide. Legolas - 08/01/2010 08:37:31 PM 706 Views
Actually, aSoIaF has one of the more accurate depictions of feudalism in modern fantasy. *NM* Ghavrel - 08/01/2010 07:33:22 PM 314 Views
I agree, but that wasn't the point... fionwe1987 - 09/01/2010 03:11:16 AM 733 Views
Nah... randfandom - 12/12/2009 08:05:49 AM 827 Views
