Re: I think the number of characters directly contributes to the situation. Sidious Send a noteboard - 04/06/2010 05:04:52 PM
Jordan (and now Sanderson) needed to employ someone to keep track of who was who, when what was happening, etc. I think that the sheer volume of characters will inherently detract from the depth of any one.

However, Sanderson has brought a bit more depth to the series. I hope the last two books give us a bit of depth. At the very least, some serious psychological issues during the Last Battle would be helpful.


Sanderson reignited several characters for - most notably Mat.

I'd think that would be a tiny chance given how diligent the Seanchan are in this regard darius_sedai - 08/06/2010 02:58:15 PM 962 Views
Remember, Seancean have no idea channeling can be "learned" beetnemesis - 02/06/2010 07:04:11 AM 918 Views
This is how Damane and Sul'Dam are determined, straight from tGH FanEditor10 - 03/06/2010 08:14:03 AM 1319 Views
That doesn't make sense. Are you sure they don't put the BRACELET on the girls, not the collar? beetnemesis - 04/06/2010 01:35:08 AM 790 Views

I just see all of that as potential plot lines for the planned follow-up Mat/Tuon in Seanchan novels darius_sedai - 08/06/2010 02:09:26 AM 930 Views

As with most things in Jordan's universe, I don't think it was thought through very seriously. Tom - 03/06/2010 08:05:04 PM 751 Views

Maybe you don't read that much serious literature? I just don't see why you are arguing this. Tom - 04/06/2010 03:47:50 PM 752 Views
I actually don't read much fiction at all to be honest darius_sedai - 04/06/2010 04:00:03 PM 780 Views
You're right about the fact that I have mostly contempt for Jordan. Tom - 04/06/2010 05:42:49 PM 750 Views
meh. I prefer non-fiction most of the time darius_sedai - 06/06/2010 03:44:38 AM 794 Views

You're absolutely right. Sanderson gets "inside" the characters a bit more. *NM* Tom - 04/06/2010 03:52:29 PM 312 Views
