The last few books Jordan wrote were like pulling teeth, I missed the excitement and tight writign that was in Lord of Chaos and the books before that (EoTW excluded as that was just establishing the characters and world). Sanderson has done a good job in relating the events leading up to Tarmon Gaidon in a concise manner, without putting TOO much of his own spin on the story.
Were there mistakes and errors? Yes, anyone picking up the mantle of authorship after a series is as established and in depth as this one is going to make booboos. But will he tell the story true to how the original author wanted the EVENTS related? NOt necessarily in the vein that he would have related himself, but the meat of the matter the story is finished.
Sorry but after nearly 20 years. That's all I frickin want. So Matt doesn't sound just right... so frickin what. Moiraine was finally rescued and the taveren are finally all coming together.
THAT's what I care about. And kvetching about how it is written yet still reading it and PAYING to do so? I'm sorry that's more than a little hypocritical. if you hate it so darn much? don't read it!

It's incredible that some readers actually seem to prefer Sanderson's attempts at being an author

You forgot the part where Jordan was a terrible author.

Yeah, it's mindboggling that someone may have a different taste than you

It isn't life though. It's entertainment, and there's so much fun potential for that connection

It's definitely better when they see something interesting, or important

Like it or not, Sanderson is to blame for this

He's obviously responsible, but it's not a very serious offense.

I don't think Sanderson is a good writer. I just don't think Jordan was a good writer, either.

But even then, all he saw was Mat talking/flirting with Tuon.

You're probably right. There was a post not long ago about the characters tinkling
