Let's have a survey! Seven questions, give your opinions kHz1000 Send a noteboard - 26/12/2015 08:46:07 PM

  1. What do you think is the funniest moment or line in WoT?

  2. What was the best story arc in the series?

  3. Which character do you think was the most overrated by other characters?

  4. What were the best and worst parts of Sanderson's writing?

  5. Which culture was your favourite and why?

  6. How is it possible there were so many Black sisters? I read somewhere that it was roughly 200 persons, making the Black ajah almost as large as the Red.

  7. How do you see the future of Randland unfolding from now on (e.g. Seanchan, Aiel, Asha'man, Kin)?



-----------

And my answers.

  1. I think Mat had a lot of quietly hilarious lines. Romanda gets a mention too, for when she tried to hide the smutty romance novel from Nisao she was embarrassed about. BS had one unintentional gem, which really should make Egwene-haters giggle:
    Egwene frowned, as if trying to figure out what advantages there could be in lessened power

  2. Mat in Ebou Dar, I think. I'm not really a WOT fan anymore (I hardly even read aMoL), but I enjoy skimming the middle/late-ish books, even the parts that people usually hate (well maybe not CoT).

  3. This would be the whole Trakand family.. But Morgase is the one I'm thinking of.

  4. Worst was the way that every line was a bit off, such as a sul'dam talking about medical aid or Graendal using weird metaphors. And the parts with Mat I just have to skip, horrid stuff. Best.. Well, at least we got the books.

  5. I rather liked the Sea Folk, for some reason. Perhaps I could be reborn as a male Windfinder.

  6. I have no idea, seems pretty weird that DF's would have such a strong presence in the Tower (much more than among the general population, surely). And with those numbers, you'd think they would have taken over the Hall and everything else ages ago. Perhaps it had to do with Aes Sedai power-hungriness, Sheriam certainly only joined out of lust for power and general "naughtiness", she was hardly the most evil of persons.

  7. This I leave to you. I'm skimming through the last books and dreading Aviendha's Rhuidean visions. Depressing stuff.

Exactly. The double standard has always existed in Cannoli's rants. fionwe1987 - 31/12/2015 05:31:42 AM 1745 Views
