I think BSand did a commendable job nonetheless. He only had [extensive] notes and 1/2-finished writing of Jordan's to work with. Harriet chose him to be her husband's voice, to continue telling his story, and that tells me PLENTY of BSand's talent and commitment.
As Lamia said in Stardust, "The burning golden heart of a star at peace is so much better than your frightened little heart. Even so, better than no heart at all."
Even so, BETTER THAN NO BOOK AT ALL.
