How much is that infamous COT review to blame? ajfurst Send a noteboard - 24/09/2009 05:01:29 AM
Much as I dislike disparaging someone elses review of a book, I'd imagine a majority of the people here that voted yes would have been happy for no further reviews if it weren't for the how little the TGS review from Jason can be trusted.

And that is all due to the now infamous review of Crossroads of Twilight by him. That implied the book was going to be packed with action and events, marking a return to the pace of books 1-6.

As these are going to be spoiler free reviews, I can clearly state (and I wouldn't be the only one), that my reason for wanting to see other reviews pre-release is to see just how accurate his TGS review is. Ie. is TGS REALLY as fast paced as KOD, is it that much darker? Is there a scene most will think is dramatic, etc.
