Have to agree here too. alanna aes sedai Send a noteboard - 06/02/2011 04:54:12 PM
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!

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 599 Views
Let them whine. Ghavrel - 02/02/2011 08:03:13 PM 1354 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 1338 Views

Because that's life A Deathwatch Guard - 02/02/2011 08:18:22 PM 1397 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 1168 Views
It's definitely better when they see something interesting, or important A Deathwatch Guard - 02/02/2011 10:19:50 PM 1213 Views
I disagree Deadsy - 02/02/2011 10:30:49 PM 1174 Views
Like it or not, Sanderson is to blame for this Cynewulf - 02/02/2011 10:37:14 PM 1295 Views
He's obviously responsible, but it's not a very serious offense. Gher - 02/02/2011 10:46:09 PM 1122 Views
Re: He's obviously responsible, but it's not a very serious offense. DomA - 03/02/2011 03:51:04 PM 1256 Views
Yup... fionwe1987 - 03/02/2011 04:15:23 PM 1151 Views
I put the blame more on Team Jordan. Gher - 03/02/2011 06:52:42 PM 1229 Views
Re: I put the blame more on Team Jordan. DomA - 04/02/2011 01:30:21 AM 1140 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 579 Views
I just don't think Jordan was a good writer, either. DomA - 04/02/2011 04:57:37 AM 1173 Views
Sure. Ghavrel - 04/02/2011 07:19:57 AM 1201 Views
Re: I put the blame more on Team Jordan. AGREED! *NM* alanna aes sedai - 06/02/2011 05:24:31 PM 608 Views
Best explanation of the issue thus far. HyogaRott - 03/02/2011 10:50:56 PM 1245 Views
But even then, all he saw was Mat talking/flirting with Tuon. Gher - 02/02/2011 10:37:33 PM 1361 Views
You're probably right. There was a post not long ago about the characters tinkling Deadsy - 02/02/2011 10:40:37 PM 1132 Views
Well someone's gotta be displeased! Gher - 02/02/2011 11:20:53 PM 1367 Views
Here's my question: why are there so many songs about rainbows? *NM* newyorkersedai - 04/02/2011 04:43:02 AM 673 Views
Yep. He could've used them to show their timing Lohikaarme - 07/02/2011 12:21:40 PM 1235 Views
