Pretty much. But I think significant blame should be laid at Jordan's feet for his abysmal pacing. Ghavrel Send a noteboard - 02/02/2013 10:48:06 AM
I don't doubt that Jordan would have done a significantly better job than Sanderson, but by the time aMoL was approaching, there were just too many plotlines to conclude them sufficiently (doubtlessly some of the readers here who praise Jordan as the next coming of Shakespeare will disagree, but I digress). Given the absurd amount of time wasted with, for example, Rolan and Faile, I think it would have been hard for Jordan to do the remaining story of the Black Tower. Logain's absence in the latter part of the series is inane.

So, am I the only one who kind of liked the whole Androl/Pevara plot? beetnemesis - 31/01/2013 02:30:15 PM 2156 Views
It was extremely irritating... Shannow - 31/01/2013 02:34:32 PM 1202 Views

It felt like a plot tacked on as a vanity by Sanderson Joar Nessosin - 31/01/2013 02:49:09 PM 968 Views

I kind of always thought RJ intended the minor characters to be bland darius_sedai - 03/02/2013 12:00:33 AM 824 Views
I'd say more like Mistborn than Harry Potter *NM* beetnemesis - 01/02/2013 02:53:30 PM 447 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 874 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 821 Views
No I loved it too. *NM* Dreadlord - 31/01/2013 02:43:31 PM 426 Views
I liked it. Most of the whining about is hilarious. Zeratul - 31/01/2013 03:01:10 PM 961 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 921 Views
Yep. I know what you mean, though it's hard to exactly quantify. muppet - 31/01/2013 04:49:12 PM 867 Views
I could really use an example here beetnemesis - 01/02/2013 02:56:50 PM 850 Views
I enjoyed it Ryan - 31/01/2013 04:37:42 PM 744 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 439 Views
Yeah, that's a legitimate complaint. *NM* beetnemesis - 01/02/2013 02:57:12 PM 433 Views
It was a fairly bad execution of some good ideas DomA - 31/01/2013 05:01:59 PM 1377 Views
That one line characterizes the last two books of WoT generally. *NM* Tom - 31/01/2013 08:52:06 PM 460 Views
He probably didn't have enough time to learn the characters completely Voscaia Sedai - 01/02/2013 01:45:11 PM 917 Views

Well said... I would have waited for a better end product *NM* darius_sedai - 02/02/2013 05:50:16 PM 432 Views
I 100% agree with everything you said here! *NM* darius_sedai - 01/02/2013 02:16:56 PM 416 Views

Yeah, yeah.. it's the f*cking silk washing's scene's fault DomA - 02/02/2013 05:59:30 PM 1203 Views
Damn you are on a roll ... Nicely said. *NM* darius_sedai - 03/02/2013 12:46:57 AM 522 Views
Its true, but RJ should get some blame Sidious - 05/02/2013 03:56:20 PM 940 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 818 Views
i enjoyed this subplot tacotime20 - 05/02/2013 05:41:23 PM 1182 Views
Not the only one..I really enjoyed reading their story. *NM* Simon - 01/02/2013 02:05:21 PM 502 Views
It was my favourite subplot *NM* Sidious - 01/02/2013 02:17:26 PM 692 Views
I liked it more than reading about Perrin. And seeing Mat butchered even further. *NM* Deadsy - 03/02/2013 02:28:42 AM 536 Views
I really liked this plot-line! *NM* aragornital - 03/02/2013 07:23:48 AM 405 Views
I liked it, but that's because... orius - 10/02/2013 09:14:44 AM 996 Views
