When you consider that important plot lines like moiraines return, and rand getting the seancan on his side were treated in a half dozen paragraphs, it seems an extravagant one.

The "clever" uses of gateways were tiring in my opinion.

Sandersons constant resort to a light character figuring a novel way to use a function of the power that already had well defined limits was reminiscent of the Harry Potter series.


It was like a poke in the eye each time it happened again and again.

The relationship stuff between Androl and Pevara I have no problem with. But the fact that Androl has effectively booted longstanding characters like Flinn, Narishma, Grady, Neald and even Logain to the sidelines was problematic.

Vanity by the new author is a good way to describe it.

So, am I the only one who kind of liked the whole Androl/Pevara plot? beetnemesis - 31/01/2013 02:30:15 PM 2813 Views

It felt like a plot tacked on as a vanity by Sanderson Joar Nessosin - 31/01/2013 02:49:09 PM 1663 Views

I kind of always thought RJ intended the minor characters to be bland darius_sedai - 03/02/2013 12:00:33 AM 1539 Views
I'd say more like Mistborn than Harry Potter *NM* beetnemesis - 01/02/2013 02:53:30 PM 802 Views
I feel the same about Mat's luck powers. You talk about plot armor, his is a plot bulldozer. Bookwyrm - 01/02/2013 12:53:58 AM 1551 Views
You're not the only one who liked it. I thought the mind meld was cool. *NM* Evil_Monkey - 31/01/2013 02:39:48 PM 1169 Views
No I loved it too. *NM* Dreadlord - 31/01/2013 02:43:31 PM 789 Views
I liked it. Most of the whining about is hilarious. Zeratul - 31/01/2013 03:01:10 PM 1610 Views
I hated it because it reeked of sanderson pandering to "internet humour" for lack of a better term. ImmanuelXavier - 31/01/2013 04:47:54 PM 1599 Views
Yep. I know what you mean, though it's hard to exactly quantify. muppet - 31/01/2013 04:49:12 PM 1554 Views
I could really use an example here beetnemesis - 01/02/2013 02:56:50 PM 1520 Views
I enjoyed it Ryan - 31/01/2013 04:37:42 PM 1428 Views
It wasn't bad. However, it took away time from characters that readers were more invested in. *NM* Tom - 31/01/2013 04:52:25 PM 815 Views
Yeah, that's a legitimate complaint. *NM* beetnemesis - 01/02/2013 02:57:12 PM 785 Views
It was a fairly bad execution of some good ideas DomA - 31/01/2013 05:01:59 PM 2102 Views
That one line characterizes the last two books of WoT generally. *NM* Tom - 31/01/2013 08:52:06 PM 823 Views
He probably didn't have enough time to learn the characters completely Voscaia Sedai - 01/02/2013 01:45:11 PM 1577 Views

Well said... I would have waited for a better end product *NM* darius_sedai - 02/02/2013 05:50:16 PM 791 Views
I 100% agree with everything you said here! *NM* darius_sedai - 01/02/2013 02:16:56 PM 782 Views
Pretty much. But I think significant blame should be laid at Jordan's feet for his abysmal pacing. Ghavrel - 02/02/2013 10:48:06 AM 1611 Views
Yeah, yeah.. it's the f*cking silk washing's scene's fault DomA - 02/02/2013 05:59:30 PM 1885 Views
Damn you are on a roll ... Nicely said. *NM* darius_sedai - 03/02/2013 12:46:57 AM 876 Views
Its true, but RJ should get some blame Sidious - 05/02/2013 03:56:20 PM 1617 Views
Certainly RJ deserves some of the blame. But pacing issues were not the only issue with AMOL darius_sedai - 10/02/2013 02:45:02 PM 1538 Views
i enjoyed this subplot tacotime20 - 05/02/2013 05:41:23 PM 1863 Views
Not the only one..I really enjoyed reading their story. *NM* Simon - 01/02/2013 02:05:21 PM 832 Views
It was my favourite subplot *NM* Sidious - 01/02/2013 02:17:26 PM 1086 Views
I liked it more than reading about Perrin. And seeing Mat butchered even further. *NM* Deadsy - 03/02/2013 02:28:42 AM 918 Views
I really liked this plot-line! *NM* aragornital - 03/02/2013 07:23:48 AM 757 Views
I liked it, but that's because... orius - 10/02/2013 09:14:44 AM 1723 Views
