It sounds better via the audio Isaac Send a noteboard - 05/09/2009 03:07:37 PM
It just feels wrong. Sorry. Maybe he gets better as the book goes on, but this is not the same. It's not bad, and it does not detract from the story, but it does not feel the same. I don't think it's going to matter. I still enjoyed reading the chapter, and I have every intention of reading the book the day it comes out, with not one less ounce of anticipation. But it is not RJ's writing, for those of you to whom such things matter.


I listend to the audio, Micheal Kramer reads all the male POV's in all of the books and I usually listen rather than re-read, so it sounded right to me, because he was doing it.

This is not RJ's writing. (No Spoilers) Cannoli - 05/09/2009 03:46:26 AM 1770 Views
How long is it? I kinda wanna read it now, but I'm at work, so I'm not sure if I have time. *NM* Brian - 05/09/2009 03:55:02 AM 347 Views
Bah, so am I. 4.5 pages on Microsoft Word. Single space, no margin, Arial font, size 9. Cannoli - 05/09/2009 04:02:13 AM 740 Views
Yeah, it was actually a fairly quick read..no trouble at all reading it at work. *NM* Brian - 05/09/2009 05:00:17 AM 395 Views
It isn't supposed to be. Great Lord of Chaos - 05/09/2009 04:08:46 AM 870 Views
Jason claimed it was hard to tell them apart. *NM* Cannoli - 05/09/2009 04:10:13 AM 369 Views
I take anything from that source with a pinch of salt *NM* Sidious - 05/09/2009 03:41:49 PM 335 Views

That's what I meant by absolutely not. Cannoli - 05/09/2009 04:31:26 AM 917 Views
Could it be rough draft that Sanderson kept, and Jordan never polished? *NM* Ryan - 05/09/2009 05:14:59 AM 430 Views
I doubt it Brian - 05/09/2009 05:17:09 AM 1019 Views
Definitely Sanderson AliasRY - 05/09/2009 05:27:57 AM 997 Views

I could tell it wasn't Jordan, but I liked what I read. Rurouni_Kenshin - 05/09/2009 04:27:44 AM 704 Views
I liked it too...new WoT material finally! *NM* Ryan - 05/09/2009 05:16:34 AM 314 Views
It bugged me at first. Gher - 05/09/2009 04:32:27 AM 773 Views
Yeah, I just finished reading it....and it was pretty obvious that it wasn't RJ Brian - 05/09/2009 04:55:30 AM 782 Views
I think Sanderson had to come up with the wind scene Ryan - 05/09/2009 05:17:58 AM 787 Views

agreed. I liked it, but Deadsy - 05/09/2009 05:13:18 AM 831 Views
Anyone want to guess which part can be a foreshadowing? redhand - 05/09/2009 05:34:07 AM 803 Views

I've been saying that for years. Cannoli - 05/09/2009 08:55:19 AM 871 Views
Whatever. I thought it was an improvement. Haggard - 05/09/2009 08:45:37 PM 778 Views
Agree fully. Art and paiting have rarely even been mentioned! It feels like a fan's writing... fionwe1987 - 05/09/2009 09:59:15 AM 882 Views
Are you pre-ordering the book? AliasRY - 05/09/2009 10:48:44 AM 770 Views
I live in the U.S. now... fionwe1987 - 05/09/2009 02:59:40 PM 764 Views
I hope so, because I won't able to wait for it. *NM* AliasRY - 05/09/2009 04:45:01 PM 340 Views
I preordered it from Bookdepository.com for 15$ AgentOrange - 05/09/2009 04:47:07 PM 666 Views
I checked, they don't ship to India. *NM* AliasRY - 05/09/2009 04:50:34 PM 355 Views
Yes, I agree. It feels cold because it is an alien presence. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 09/09/2009 02:31:45 PM 676 Views

No. It was never meant to be, it never could be and Sanderson never pretended otherwise. Werthead - 05/09/2009 07:40:37 PM 908 Views
Exactly. Haggard - 05/09/2009 08:50:08 PM 728 Views
According to him... Werthead - 05/09/2009 09:14:44 PM 734 Views
It sounds more like Anderson than Jordan Cannoli - 05/09/2009 11:11:58 PM 973 Views

It wasn't Jordan... Rand al'Thor - 07/09/2009 04:36:11 AM 680 Views
It isn't but I thought BS said he wasn't trying to be exactly like RJ RugbyPlayingAshaman - 08/09/2009 08:12:24 PM 773 Views
The difference was a bit staggering scalius - 08/09/2009 08:23:15 PM 757 Views
