Book's been out since the summer, in the UK anyways Larry Send a noteboard - 09/12/2009 02:33:05 AM
It's published by Middlesex University Press, so its audience is more that of those who read critical studies and not those who read multi-volume fantasies almost exclusively

Pretty sure Nynaeve did not have red hair. Also pretty sure she wasn't a priestess. Ghavrel - 07/12/2009 02:54:23 AM 965 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 739 Views
Wow! I was completely wrong about Goodkind. Gher - 07/12/2009 04:36:28 AM 803 Views

I suppose it all depends on what the purpose of their book is. Legolas - 07/12/2009 10:04:48 AM 734 Views
Overall, a valid assessment. Tom - 07/12/2009 02:07:47 PM 770 Views
Nynaeve doesn't have red hair! She has brown hair! Ghavrel - 07/12/2009 09:29:07 PM 774 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 761 Views
I mentioned her not being a priestess in my earlier post. Ghavrel - 09/12/2009 03:23:12 AM 730 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 721 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 774 Views
But... it's the sweetest scene ever. StormCrow - 08/12/2009 07:40:51 PM 774 Views
Agree for the most part. When does the book officially come out? StormCrow - 08/12/2009 07:51:39 PM 904 Views
Book's been out since the summer, in the UK anyways Larry - 09/12/2009 02:33:05 AM 738 Views
So their tone *is* out of place, then? Legolas - 09/12/2009 10:52:12 AM 728 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 709 Views
Erikson is like Martin? That's ridiculous! fionwe1987 - 09/12/2009 01:43:18 AM 973 Views
Influenced isn't the same as 'like'. Jacob - 21/12/2009 06:04:53 PM 771 Views
So, you're right because you're right? fionwe1987 - 28/12/2009 03:25:33 AM 799 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 794 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 704 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 730 Views
Nah... randfandom - 12/12/2009 08:05:49 AM 826 Views
