View original postThe characterization was all wrong. The editing was terrible. Plotlines that should have been resolved were ignored.
Since when is Mat illiterate?!? I remember being SO angry at that!
View original posttGS was decent, but apparently over half of that book was actually written by RJ.
I've never heard that RJ wrote THAT much of TGS.
View original postToM was just, just awful. Seriously, I've listened to it twice, and both times(and my initial readthrough) have been painful experiences, and if I wasn't obsessed with this series I don't think I could do it.
Sigh
View original postaMoL was... decent. I enjoyed the initial chapters, and I enjoyed the scenes with Rand. Beyond that, I may have enjoyed one or two scenes dealing with Mat's actual planning and execution of the war. But for the most part, the actual people, the threads in the Pattern, were ignored so we could get hundreds of pages of some fanboi saying 'ohmygosh you guys there's so many trollocs and HEY LOOK THE GOOD GUYS ARE KILLIN' EM!'
Very similar feelings here. I did enjoy seeing Rand finally getting his shit together, but so much was just lost. Lost with the loss of RJ.
View original postIt did not read at all as the final book in this series should have.
If I had only 3 wishes, I would give serious consideration to using one to wish RJ had been able to finish this series.
View original postI will give you that the last couple RJ books were a pain to read through, but that was because he had soooo much groundwork to lay for the finale. Crossroads is painful, and yeah, he fluffed it a good bit, but KoD really started picking up, especially in the second half, and everything was in place to really have a fast paced and enjoyable finale.
Quite so, quite so.
View original postI'll echo Cannoli's sentiment in his post earlier today; amyloidosis really sucks.
So very sad.
