You would have to go back and fix the problems Jordan himself created Tom Send a noteboard - 30/05/2025 02:42:20 AM

It's been confirmed that Mazrim Taim was supposed to be Demandred, but Jordan threw a tantrum like a five year old because everyone figured out what he naively thought was less obvious than it was.

If you really want to do Wheel of Time justice, you have to shit can everything after Lord of Chaos, the last fairly decent book in the series, and write 3 - and only 3 - books of Lord of Chaos length that finishes the series without all the superfluous horse names, interminably long "Faile is a prisoner of the Shaido" chapters, and make Mazrim Taim Demandred. THAT would be worth reading, if the right author could be persuaded. He could take chunks of what Jordan did write and then redo the Sanderson parts.

Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.

ἡ δὲ κἀκ τριῶν τρυπημάτων ἐργαζομένη ἐνεκάλει τῇ φύσει, δυσφορουμένη, ὅτι δὴ μὴ καὶ τοὺς τιτθοὺς αὐτῇ εὐρύτερον ἢ νῦν εἰσι τρυπώη, ὅπως καὶ ἄλλην ἐνταῦθα μίξιν ἐπιτεχνᾶσθαι δυνατὴ εἴη. – Procopius

Ummaka qinnassa nīk!

You seem to have some unusual rage directed towards Sanderson Anonymous2000 - 30/05/2025 11:05:58 PM 529 Views
He's not the worst writer I've ever come across, but he's probably the most overrated. Ghavrel - 01/06/2025 12:34:12 AM 485 Views
