Thanks for that insightful response... Shannow Send a noteboard - 30/09/2012 10:37:27 PM
From what you describe, I don't think I'd enjoy Sanderson's other works either.

Sounds like a Forgotten Realms type of novel - big on clever spells and magic systems, but lacking meanighful character depth. Salvatore excluded, to an extent.

If you have to call someone "my friend" three times in a couple of minutes, he isn't. Cannoli - 28/09/2012 11:59:13 AM 6162 Views
John McCain has a similar proclivity. *NM* RandAllThor - 28/09/2012 12:26:29 PM 1350 Views

Sanderson's handling of character interractions is pathetic.... DomA - 28/09/2012 06:43:48 PM 1715 Views
Now see, here I don't fully agree, or at least think it's a matter of taste. Nate - 28/09/2012 07:21:09 PM 2417 Views
Sorry, that's just not true... fionwe1987 - 28/09/2012 11:33:59 PM 1501 Views

This is one of my biggest pet peeves as well Deadsy - 29/09/2012 04:56:53 AM 1696 Views
There are people who say that? Nate - 29/09/2012 05:16:58 AM 1566 Views
I complained about this regarding the Forsaken chapter Sidious - 28/09/2012 07:34:25 PM 1802 Views
I've long since accepted that Sanderson uses inaccurate terms like "powerful" darius_sedai - 29/09/2012 05:44:11 AM 1809 Views
To be fair, the last Moghedian PoV by RJ might have changed her a bit. Cannoli - 29/09/2012 03:27:31 PM 1487 Views
Which is the question I brought up in another thread darius_sedai - 29/09/2012 05:29:01 PM 1366 Views
Yes. The last time it happened to me it ended with the taxi driver fined by the NYPD. Tom - 29/09/2012 07:05:26 AM 1457 Views
The burning question to me, after reading all of the comments above, is this... Shannow - 29/09/2012 08:50:50 AM 1710 Views
Piggybacking on someone else's established characters and near-climax-point plot? Cannoli - 29/09/2012 03:04:03 PM 1772 Views
Both of you disgust me Dark Knight - 29/09/2012 04:13:16 PM 1641 Views
This is not jealousy, it's being upset Marshall - 29/09/2012 07:52:51 PM 1541 Views
They could have hired a ghost writer. They chose not to. *NM* Dark Knight - 29/09/2012 09:34:27 PM 10047 Views

To be fair... Sidious - 29/09/2012 04:36:52 PM 1525 Views
True ... He may not be perfect, and he certainly made some strange choices darius_sedai - 29/09/2012 05:37:29 PM 1439 Views
B-Sand is not a ghost writer Dark Knight - 29/09/2012 06:35:16 PM 2795 Views
Didn't say he should. darius_sedai - 29/09/2012 09:07:45 PM 2118 Views
I mostly agree with this. Nate - 29/09/2012 09:36:38 PM 1792 Views
What is it you want? Dark Knight - 29/09/2012 09:39:36 PM 1678 Views
We want to bitch about an inferior product. Duh. Cannoli - 29/09/2012 10:00:09 PM 8623 Views
Hmm that's true I guess. Sad though *NM* Dark Knight - 29/09/2012 10:07:25 PM 755 Views
It is what it is darius_sedai - 30/09/2012 12:52:20 AM 1288 Views
Those are not remotely the same thing Cannoli - 30/09/2012 09:14:49 PM 1573 Views
But they are the same in this instance darius_sedai - 30/09/2012 10:01:59 PM 1521 Views
You do know this isn't his series, right? Dark Knight - 29/09/2012 04:19:00 PM 1975 Views
Do you see us going to Mistborn boards to rip his series? Part of the problem is what you say. Cannoli - 29/09/2012 09:57:54 PM 2379 Views
Apologies for not being clear: I'm only referring to WoT. Haven't read any of his other work... Shannow - 30/09/2012 06:56:08 PM 1831 Views
I'd agree that I like his original works more than his WoT books beetnemesis - 01/10/2012 06:17:33 PM 1582 Views
It's fairly simple.... DomA - 30/09/2012 09:55:52 PM 1750 Views
