You're forgetting one thing. Cannoli Send a noteboard - 06/09/2009 12:13:03 AM
Basically, the first thing we heard about this book, and really the only source on it up until the chapter's release, was Jason's review on Dragonmount, where the imbecile proved that he is well-suited to a technical occupation like running a website, and grotesquely unqualified for literary criticism or analysis. Call these complaints a criticism of Jason, rather than B-Sand or Harriet or Tom Doherty, if you will, but the ONLY information we had on the book was that the person who read it claimed he could not tell which parts were written by Sanderson & which by RJ.

My post that this was not RJ's writing was simply a comment on what we had been led to believe. I do not blame Sanderson for not trying to mimic RJ, or for writing in his own style, except for the fact that I do not like his style. I expressed concerns on the wotmania MB about this, and as far as I am concerned, they have proven justified.

That being said, WoT by Sanderson is still better than no more WoT.

Agreed. If anything, it's a tribute to RJ - 05/09/2009 06:17:36 PM 1774 Views

And if he were to off Egwene? What would your opinion be? *NM* - 07/09/2009 05:38:36 AM 941 Views
He dislikes Sanderson's prose. Plot content is irrelevant here. *NM* - 08/09/2009 06:44:42 PM 1036 Views
Who cares? That would have been RJs decision anyway. - 09/09/2009 06:15:16 AM 1543 Views
