not impressed aldapelan Send a noteboard - 05/09/2009 06:24:02 PM
i wasn't very impessed with chapter 1 it sounded alot like fan fiction to me and rather childish and blunt but that could be attributed to the fact that brandon begins the book simply to help recap readers who haven't read wot for a few years.
p.s i am still eagerly awaiting the release of the prologue and the full book though.

Agreed. If anything, it's a tribute to RJ Gher - 05/09/2009 06:17:36 PM 1597 Views

And if he were to off Egwene? What would your opinion be? *NM* Ryan - 07/09/2009 05:38:36 AM 865 Views
He dislikes Sanderson's prose. Plot content is irrelevant here. *NM* Marshall - 08/09/2009 06:44:42 PM 965 Views
