I kind of feel like Seanchan was setting up for the "outrigger" stories. MrFarstrider Send a noteboard - 31/05/2017 10:46:53 PM

While nothing significant happens with the Seanchan invasion in the story we have, it feels like RJ left a lot of that story on the table intentionally.

With Mat's popularity to the reader, the potential for conflict between Randland and Seanchan, and some of the promises that were made to Rand by the Seanchan, I feel like an entire series or at least a small saga could've followed on if RJ felt like writing beyond the last WoT book.

It would take the series plot in a different direction while maintaining the WoT setting. RJ had always mentioned the possibility of him writing future outriggers based on Seanchan, I would presume in Randland and Seanchan-actual. Leaving so much Seanchan story left on the table would be a great way for him to lead into follow-on stories.

Which Part of WoT Plot Did You Dislike the Most? MrFarstrider - 30/05/2017 02:49:26 AM 1372 Views
The internecine warfare in the White Tower should have taken up about one fifth the size it did. *NM* Ghavrel - 30/05/2017 06:01:47 AM 442 Views
It felt like such little payoff for staying devoted to such a terrible storyline MrFarstrider - 31/05/2017 12:33:43 AM 663 Views
The real annoyance with the WT stuff. Is not knowing if it never meant much, or just died with RJ. Dunstan - 31/05/2017 06:36:57 PM 699 Views
Almost everything to do with the Seanchan. *NM* Mix - 30/05/2017 07:51:53 AM 888 Views

Naw, dude, he was totally in, uh... Shara the while time. Obviously. Ghavrel - 30/05/2017 05:35:15 PM 717 Views

A Sanderson book, not a Jordan book, just as a point of fact Cannoli - 30/05/2017 11:55:53 PM 800 Views
The subplot was almost the entirety of Crossroads of Twilight... *NM* HyogaRott - 01/06/2017 01:23:21 PM 463 Views
COT may have been the worst novel ever written..... *NM* Anonymous2000 - 01/06/2017 05:17:27 PM 396 Views
Have you read Vellum by Hal Duncan? It was worse. *NM* Tom - 01/06/2017 09:03:08 PM 413 Views
Ah crap. Seriously? I guess I shouldn't feel bad for having it in my to read pile for so long then. *NM* Chas - 03/06/2017 01:08:02 AM 424 Views
Nah, that "award winning" SciFi novel by sombody Adams that either Tom of Cannoli convinced me to re HyogaRott - 02/06/2017 12:56:53 PM 722 Views
There is no way I recommended a sci-fi book to someone, other than Lem's Solaris. Tom - 03/06/2017 07:25:00 PM 599 Views
Anything that had to do... Jeordam - 30/05/2017 04:45:27 PM 680 Views
Yeah, but Rand being whiny did give us the best scene in the series, IMHO. Ghavrel - 30/05/2017 08:27:54 PM 679 Views
Yeah....too bad it took Jeordam - 31/05/2017 04:27:49 PM 733 Views

Most plotlines involving Egwene after book three or so. And yeah, much of Perrin's storyline. Legolas - 30/05/2017 07:15:26 PM 707 Views
So, you mean most of the Aes Sedai stuff? *NM* Ghavrel - 30/05/2017 08:22:05 PM 430 Views
Nah, there was plenty that wasn't about her. Legolas - 30/05/2017 09:06:49 PM 685 Views
I always thought making Egwene was a silly contrived story line random thoughts - 30/05/2017 09:27:01 PM 680 Views

What is happening? nossy - 31/05/2017 10:43:52 AM 855 Views
I didn't mind her early on MrFarstrider - 31/05/2017 12:14:19 AM 745 Views
But... Her #1 goal since the very first page she is on is to NOT be "a innkeeper's daughter". Dunstan - 31/05/2017 06:14:18 AM 692 Views
That's true, but she WAS an innkeepers daughter. nossy - 31/05/2017 10:49:04 AM 635 Views
Which simply made her all the more reckless in attempting to NOT be until she wasn't. *NM* Dunstan - 31/05/2017 04:22:46 PM 427 Views
It was the direction he took her. random thoughts - 31/05/2017 03:04:21 AM 509 Views
That's almost true of every character nossy - 31/05/2017 10:52:55 AM 624 Views

that fact that you are probably right makes it worse random thoughts - 05/06/2017 03:44:23 PM 653 Views
I actively liked her until probably around PATH OF DAGGERS. Then I was just vaguely indifferent. Ghavrel - 31/05/2017 04:15:37 AM 707 Views
I'm always impressed by people who can keep them straight. nossy - 31/05/2017 10:59:09 AM 660 Views
There are resources that can help with that. Cannoli - 31/05/2017 06:16:47 PM 851 Views

Took forever to think of full on "plot" I'd go so far as to DISLIKE. Then it hit me. "Pink ribbons". Dunstan - 01/06/2017 06:28:13 AM 632 Views
The ludicrous amounts of subplots and minor characters. Bergioyn - 11/06/2017 09:32:32 PM 801 Views
