I'm excited. (Here be spoilers) Seriana Sedai Send a noteboard - 06/09/2009 03:29:59 AM
Please post all your thoughts and discussions in this post regarding Chapter 1 of the new book.

Other posts will be removed from now on to remove a spoiler threat to other posters. When the new book comes out, an official spoiler policy will enter the board whereby posts can be generated normally, but for now, any ideas on this chapter must be contained in this post please.

Thoughts, reviews, ideas... what did you think?


I liked what the wind did in the beginning of the chapter, that was cool. Eerie when it was going the wrong way too. I loved hearing Lews Therin be more responsive, and that Rand finally screwed up and talked to him in front of everyone. Oops! :)
I don't care much about the style and as such didn't really pay attention to how it differs, I just enjoy the Wheel of Time stories and am looking forward to more, it sounds like things are going to get rolling.

For all of those whining about it not sounding like RJ: Narg - 05/09/2009 05:47:07 PM 2084 Views
Agreed. If anything, it's a tribute to RJ Gher - 05/09/2009 06:17:36 PM 1941 Views

And if he were to off Egwene? What would your opinion be? *NM* Ryan - 07/09/2009 05:38:36 AM 1119 Views
He dislikes Sanderson's prose. Plot content is irrelevant here. *NM* Marshall - 08/09/2009 06:44:42 PM 1117 Views
