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? - 01/08/2021 05:43:47 PM 596 Views

WRONG! Book 4 and 5 are Fabulous, and the prequels are more fun as individual stories - 02/08/2021 07:13:02 PM 279 Views

RJ not for dying, but instead for giving us books 7 to 10 (I never did 11) - 02/08/2021 07:10:33 PM 306 Views
If Jordan had died after Book VI and the series remained unfinished, it would have been better - 02/08/2021 08:02:11 PM 292 Views
We agree in a lot with this - 02/08/2021 11:06:26 PM 220 Views

Very good point - 04/08/2021 06:46:14 PM 331 Views
Martin has definitely frustrated his fans and tested their patience far more... - 03/08/2021 09:05:21 PM 299 Views
"Not as strong of a finisher" may be the understatement of the year - 04/08/2021 06:48:03 PM 310 Views
another good point - 04/08/2021 06:58:32 PM 279 Views
I think Martin's problem is being a perfectionist. - 15/08/2021 01:01:03 PM 211 Views
Maybe if he were good at writing... *NM* - 16/08/2021 09:15:30 AM 220 Views
