What will be interesting is if and how Sanderson's writing will change after having done the WoT novels. I think all authors change and grow during their careers. I wonder if we will be able to see "jordanesque" influences in Sanderson's future books.


His test-readers and editors have said that THE WAY OF KINGS reads much more 'Jordanesque' than his earlier novels, and this influence is a good thing.

This is not RJ's writing. (No Spoilers) Cannoli - 05/09/2009 03:46:26 AM 1784 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 354 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 765 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 408 Views
It isn't supposed to be. Great Lord of Chaos - 05/09/2009 04:08:46 AM 887 Views

Re: Absolutely not. bdev_03 - 05/09/2009 04:25:16 AM 984 Views
That's what I meant by absolutely not. Cannoli - 05/09/2009 04:31:26 AM 955 Views
Could it be rough draft that Sanderson kept, and Jordan never polished? *NM* Ryan - 05/09/2009 05:14:59 AM 438 Views
I doubt it Brian - 05/09/2009 05:17:09 AM 1040 Views
Definitely Sanderson AliasRY - 05/09/2009 05:27:57 AM 1008 Views

I could tell it wasn't Jordan, but I liked what I read. Rurouni_Kenshin - 05/09/2009 04:27:44 AM 722 Views
I liked it too...new WoT material finally! *NM* Ryan - 05/09/2009 05:16:34 AM 320 Views
It bugged me at first. Gher - 05/09/2009 04:32:27 AM 792 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 795 Views
I think Sanderson had to come up with the wind scene Ryan - 05/09/2009 05:17:58 AM 801 Views

agreed. I liked it, but Deadsy - 05/09/2009 05:13:18 AM 851 Views
Anyone want to guess which part can be a foreshadowing? redhand - 05/09/2009 05:34:07 AM 820 Views

Becareful of what you wish for Knightscape - 05/09/2009 08:29:52 AM 822 Views
I've been saying that for years. Cannoli - 05/09/2009 08:55:19 AM 882 Views
Whatever. I thought it was an improvement. Haggard - 05/09/2009 08:45:37 PM 797 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 908 Views
Are you pre-ordering the book? AliasRY - 05/09/2009 10:48:44 AM 792 Views
I live in the U.S. now... fionwe1987 - 05/09/2009 02:59:40 PM 774 Views
I hope so, because I won't able to wait for it. *NM* AliasRY - 05/09/2009 04:45:01 PM 343 Views
I preordered it from Bookdepository.com for 15$ AgentOrange - 05/09/2009 04:47:07 PM 676 Views
I checked, they don't ship to India. *NM* AliasRY - 05/09/2009 04:50:34 PM 362 Views
Yes, I agree. It feels cold because it is an alien presence. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 09/09/2009 02:31:45 PM 694 Views

Re: It sounds better via the audio RandAllThor - 05/09/2009 03:41:27 PM 737 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 932 Views
Exactly. Haggard - 05/09/2009 08:50:08 PM 749 Views

It wasn't Jordan... Rand al'Thor - 07/09/2009 04:36:11 AM 696 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 786 Views
The difference was a bit staggering scalius - 08/09/2009 08:23:15 PM 768 Views
