Like it or not, Sanderson is to blame for this Cynewulf Send a noteboard - 02/02/2011 10:37:14 PM
He simply does not seem to have the nose for interesting situations that RJ had. Not only does Sanderson fail to make the visions particularly interesting or entertaining, he also fails to use them as chronological markers, which RJ frequently did, instead providing completely generic scenes: Rand and Min eating, Rand sitting in a chair looking grim, and so forth.

Who would have written the end of WoT better yet still similar to RJ? *NM* Fox and Ravens - 02/02/2011 06:39:53 PM 543 Views
Let them whine. Ghavrel - 02/02/2011 08:03:13 PM 1237 Views
It's incredible that some readers actually seem to prefer Sanderson's attempts at being an author Cynewulf - 02/02/2011 10:32:31 PM 1232 Views

Because that's life A Deathwatch Guard - 02/02/2011 08:18:22 PM 1267 Views
It isn't life though. It's entertainment, and there's so much fun potential for that connection Deadsy - 02/02/2011 08:27:45 PM 1026 Views
It's definitely better when they see something interesting, or important A Deathwatch Guard - 02/02/2011 10:19:50 PM 1089 Views
I disagree Deadsy - 02/02/2011 10:30:49 PM 1060 Views

I put the blame more on Team Jordan. Gher - 03/02/2011 06:52:42 PM 1077 Views
Re: I put the blame more on Team Jordan. DomA - 04/02/2011 01:30:21 AM 982 Views
I don't think Sanderson is a good writer. I just don't think Jordan was a good writer, either. *NM* Ghavrel - 04/02/2011 02:11:28 AM 511 Views

Re: I put the blame more on Team Jordan. AGREED! *NM* alanna aes sedai - 06/02/2011 05:24:31 PM 550 Views
Best explanation of the issue thus far. HyogaRott - 03/02/2011 10:50:56 PM 1117 Views
But even then, all he saw was Mat talking/flirting with Tuon. Gher - 02/02/2011 10:37:33 PM 1214 Views
You're probably right. There was a post not long ago about the characters tinkling Deadsy - 02/02/2011 10:40:37 PM 1010 Views
Well someone's gotta be displeased! Gher - 02/02/2011 11:20:53 PM 1239 Views
Here's my question: why are there so many songs about rainbows? *NM* newyorkersedai - 04/02/2011 04:43:02 AM 608 Views
Yep. He could've used them to show their timing Lohikaarme - 07/02/2011 12:21:40 PM 1124 Views
