The difference was a bit staggering scalius Send a noteboard - 08/09/2009 08:23:15 PM
Especially all of the chapters leading up to Rand's introduction. I really had no idea what to expect, but I nearly had to stop reading after the first 5-7 paragraphs just to let my mind take it in. My brain is screaming "that's not RJ" while my emotions are screaming "but it's WOT dammit".

I have a feeling that it will be very obvious which parts are significantly/soley BS and which RJ. I guess that will have to be OK.

As it is, I liked what I read once it got going, and I'm very happy that the story will be told.

Most of all (and I've said this before), I'm beyond happy that RJ was the one who completed the ending (and apparently a rather large part of it) of this story. I would take the ending in BS's prose just to have it, but it would never have felt right. That RJ completed it is gold IMO.



I would slave, to pave the way, to sink your ship of fools.

This is not RJ's writing. (No Spoilers) Cannoli - 05/09/2009 03:46:26 AM 1905 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 408 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 888 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 475 Views
It isn't supposed to be. Great Lord of Chaos - 05/09/2009 04:08:46 AM 998 Views

That's what I meant by absolutely not. Cannoli - 05/09/2009 04:31:26 AM 1122 Views
Could it be rough draft that Sanderson kept, and Jordan never polished? *NM* Ryan - 05/09/2009 05:14:59 AM 502 Views
I doubt it Brian - 05/09/2009 05:17:09 AM 1171 Views
Definitely Sanderson AliasRY - 05/09/2009 05:27:57 AM 1139 Views

I could tell it wasn't Jordan, but I liked what I read. Rurouni_Kenshin - 05/09/2009 04:27:44 AM 826 Views
I liked it too...new WoT material finally! *NM* Ryan - 05/09/2009 05:16:34 AM 380 Views
It bugged me at first. Gher - 05/09/2009 04:32:27 AM 918 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 929 Views
I think Sanderson had to come up with the wind scene Ryan - 05/09/2009 05:17:58 AM 934 Views

Anyone want to guess which part can be a foreshadowing? redhand - 05/09/2009 05:34:07 AM 962 Views

I've been saying that for years. Cannoli - 05/09/2009 08:55:19 AM 1002 Views
Whatever. I thought it was an improvement. Haggard - 05/09/2009 08:45:37 PM 945 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 1072 Views
Are you pre-ordering the book? AliasRY - 05/09/2009 10:48:44 AM 906 Views
I live in the U.S. now... fionwe1987 - 05/09/2009 02:59:40 PM 910 Views
I hope so, because I won't able to wait for it. *NM* AliasRY - 05/09/2009 04:45:01 PM 402 Views
I preordered it from Bookdepository.com for 15$ AgentOrange - 05/09/2009 04:47:07 PM 800 Views
I checked, they don't ship to India. *NM* AliasRY - 05/09/2009 04:50:34 PM 414 Views
Yes, I agree. It feels cold because it is an alien presence. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 09/09/2009 02:31:45 PM 805 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 1057 Views
Exactly. Haggard - 05/09/2009 08:50:08 PM 887 Views
According to him... Werthead - 05/09/2009 09:14:44 PM 869 Views

It wasn't Jordan... Rand al'Thor - 07/09/2009 04:36:11 AM 836 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 901 Views
