Impossible for me to know aerocontrols Send a noteboard - 02/08/2021 09:13:16 PM

Having been burned by Jordan, now I wait until series are finished before starting them. (Except Dresden Files, apparently) This leaves me out of the cultural zeitgeist and spoiled for things like Game of Thrones, but 'oh well'

Something I've noticed about Jordan's younger fans is that they don't mind the slog books as much, because they can burn through them and don't have to wait years for the next one. That may result in him getting a better legacy than we would otherwise expect.

Hollywood has the best moral compass, because it has compassion.

Who has let readers down more, Robert Jordan or Georgerr Martin? Tom - 01/08/2021 05:43:47 PM 593 Views

WRONG! Book 4 and 5 are Fabulous, and the prequels are more fun as individual stories Roland00 - 02/08/2021 07:13:02 PM 275 Views

RJ not for dying, but instead for giving us books 7 to 10 (I never did 11) Roland00 - 02/08/2021 07:10:33 PM 303 Views
If Jordan had died after Book VI and the series remained unfinished, it would have been better Tom - 02/08/2021 08:02:11 PM 289 Views
We agree in a lot with this Roland00 - 02/08/2021 11:06:26 PM 217 Views
I notice you also un-corrected my corrected "Georgerr Martin" Tom - 04/08/2021 07:10:50 PM 371 Views

Very good point Tom - 04/08/2021 06:46:14 PM 330 Views
Martin has definitely frustrated his fans and tested their patience far more... Legolas - 03/08/2021 09:05:21 PM 295 Views
Remember in 2019 he said his fans can lock him up in a cabin if Book 6 was not out by mid 2020 Roland00 - 04/08/2021 02:06:24 AM 248 Views
"Not as strong of a finisher" may be the understatement of the year Tom - 04/08/2021 06:48:03 PM 309 Views
another good point damookster - 04/08/2021 06:58:32 PM 278 Views
Brazil started well against Germany for the first 10 minutes of the 2014 World Cup too Tom - 04/08/2021 07:09:11 PM 293 Views
Well, okay, so far I guess he's not a finisher at all, strong or otherwise. Legolas - 07/08/2021 06:20:39 PM 238 Views
I think Martin's problem is being a perfectionist. AgentApple - 15/08/2021 01:01:03 PM 208 Views
Maybe if he were good at writing... *NM* Ghavrel - 16/08/2021 09:15:30 AM 220 Views
