The aftermath - but I don't think he really showed the chaos on a battlefield that well RugbyPlayingAshaman Send a noteboard - 03/06/2011 07:19:20 PM
For example, we've seen Moiraine walk through a camp full of wounded warriors and we know that Rand personally surveyed many battlefields to count the corpses of Maidens.

I just never got the sense that the battle scenes were rendered as well as some other writers have done.

I'm basically saying that the gritty parts of a real fight weren't really the focus of how he wrote the battle scenes.

I find all of the non-channeling related combat implausible and over-dramatic RugbyPlayingAshaman - 03/06/2011 03:51:35 PM 1216 Views

That doesn't make them unrealistic... fionwe1987 - 03/06/2011 08:30:05 PM 851 Views
I think it does make them unrealistic. Stylistic choices determine how these scenes are conveyed. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 03/06/2011 09:24:21 PM 1077 Views

WoT combat scenes are highly overrated. The non-OP fight scenes aresn't even scenes at all Bookwyrm - 11/06/2011 12:59:50 AM 844 Views
