I, too, am upset at the choice of BS. I think there are probably dozens of writers, even those not in the fantasy genre, who would have been a much better pick. I agree with Cannoli entirely that BS does not have proper skills that should have been required to finish WoT. You don't need much creativity, because the story is there. The bit of creative you do need--filling in the holes--requires more skill of seamlessly weaving the already existing characters, with already existing personalities, into an already existing plot.
He's fine at coming up with plots, but his writing is severely lacking.

If you have to call someone "my friend" three times in a couple of minutes, he isn't.

The only people I've ever heard say "my friend" are foreign street vendors

Sanderson's handling of character interractions is pathetic....

Now see, here I don't fully agree, or at least think it's a matter of taste.

I've long since accepted that Sanderson uses inaccurate terms like "powerful"

To be fair, the last Moghedian PoV by RJ might have changed her a bit.

Yes. The last time it happened to me it ended with the taxi driver fined by the NYPD.

Piggybacking on someone else's established characters and near-climax-point plot?

Do you see us going to Mistborn boards to rip his series? Part of the problem is what you say.
