Point taken. Despite not being the target audience, I'd still like to take a look at it. StormCrow Send a noteboard - 09/12/2009 10:04:38 PM
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


I'd have to wait for it to come state side. I'm not THAT interested in seeing it that I'd import accross all that water.

Farah Mendlesohn and Edward James on RJ, Goodkind, and Martin Larry - 07/12/2009 02:48:45 AM 1708 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 1002 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 767 Views
Wow! I was completely wrong about Goodkind. Gher - 07/12/2009 04:36:28 AM 836 Views

I suppose it all depends on what the purpose of their book is. Legolas - 07/12/2009 10:04:48 AM 767 Views
Overall, a valid assessment. Tom - 07/12/2009 02:07:47 PM 804 Views
Nynaeve doesn't have red hair! She has brown hair! Ghavrel - 07/12/2009 09:29:07 PM 806 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 802 Views
I mentioned her not being a priestess in my earlier post. Ghavrel - 09/12/2009 03:23:12 AM 759 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 754 Views
Of course I do. *NM* Ghavrel - 08/01/2010 07:25:31 PM 347 Views
She's a priestess archetype, though. *NM* Ouranid - 09/12/2009 09:43:50 PM 334 Views
Why wasn't I informed about the chipmunks? Werthead - 07/12/2009 11:56:51 PM 815 Views
But... it's the sweetest scene ever. StormCrow - 08/12/2009 07:40:51 PM 810 Views
Agree for the most part. When does the book officially come out? StormCrow - 08/12/2009 07:51:39 PM 946 Views
Book's been out since the summer, in the UK anyways Larry - 09/12/2009 02:33:05 AM 772 Views
So their tone *is* out of place, then? Legolas - 09/12/2009 10:52:12 AM 761 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 745 Views
Erikson is like Martin? That's ridiculous! fionwe1987 - 09/12/2009 01:43:18 AM 1007 Views
Influenced isn't the same as 'like'. Jacob - 21/12/2009 06:04:53 PM 801 Views
So, you're right because you're right? fionwe1987 - 28/12/2009 03:25:33 AM 832 Views
Only because I'm willing to be honest even about things that I enjoy. *NM* Jacob - 07/01/2010 06:00:02 PM 312 Views
What rot... fionwe1987 - 07/01/2010 09:54:13 PM 828 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 735 Views
Actually, aSoIaF has one of the more accurate depictions of feudalism in modern fantasy. *NM* Ghavrel - 08/01/2010 07:33:22 PM 327 Views
I agree, but that wasn't the point... fionwe1987 - 09/01/2010 03:11:16 AM 761 Views
Nah... randfandom - 12/12/2009 08:05:49 AM 874 Views
