Re: Have some question charlene Send a noteboard - 28/11/2010 06:50:40 PM


That's exactly my point.

Brandon made very exciting and complicated story line. And most people immediately started to blame him for their own fallacy.

Basically, there were no messed up scene, it's you who have messed up the storyline in your mind, but was very quick to dump a lot of crap on Brandon.


My not remembering the scene perfectly doesn't detract from my original point nor does it make it invalid. I disagree with the OP and think the timeline and storyline are horribly mixed up between both books. It's awkwardly handled and confusing, especially to the casual reader. If I'm not supposed to blame Brandon for that then whom would you suggest I blame instead? He wrote the books.

Disagree strongly on the time line issue - TOM showed what a mistake splitting by 'clusters' was IMO ajfurst - 27/11/2010 07:24:55 AM 1106 Views

It will be better than CoT, sure, but still not good enough to appease most fans Zeratul - 30/11/2010 06:20:38 PM 1118 Views

Exactly my feeling on TGS, but I do think ToM inferior to it (though still good). Joel - 28/11/2010 02:55:53 PM 1252 Views

Right, it's good, but could be better (or it could be better, but is still good). Joel - 28/11/2010 03:12:15 PM 977 Views
