Re: And you know how RJ would've outlined the books from where? Cynewulf Send a noteboard - 29/11/2010 08:16:12 AM
it would NO WAY be a one book ending that some ppl here keep saying he would have made the book.


That is not what "ppl" are saying. "People" are well aware that this book might have been split even with RJ behind the wheel. The thing is, though, that RJ would have split the story in a way faithful to his outline. Sanderson's sin here is that he had the arrogance to completely restructure RJ's outline, which has resulted in much poorer story.


"From" a literary mind. Also, it is quite easily inferrable from comments Sanderson has made. Frankly, after TGS he had painted himself into a corner. He made a botched-job of this.

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 1136 Views

Splitting it this way was the only realistic choice Zeratul - 29/11/2010 01:58:52 PM 963 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 1149 Views
In any case you can see why RJ wanted one book ajfurst - 01/12/2010 01:41:56 AM 1034 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 1277 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 1002 Views

"Reading" TGS &ToM in audio format and just weeks apart made them work better together. *NM* Zalis - 29/11/2010 07:48:51 PM 638 Views
