Unsatisfied I suppose or perhaps regretful darius_sedai Send a noteboard - 24/02/2017 02:54:12 PM

After completing WoT, how did you feel? Happy, sad, relieved, angry, disappointed, satisfied.....combo of many things?

My first reaction was relieved, it's finally over and I know the end. I also had some disappointment that RJ wasn't the one to complete it, but I know that he wrote the final scene, so that was comforting.


The Sanderson books had so many problems that even though I know the basic ending of the story was as RJ had laid it out it still felt flat. Don't get me wrong, I'm glad it was completed, but I doubt the finished product will ever really feel "right" to me.

I'll post this again Tom - 25/02/2017 01:29:16 AM 793 Views
Very good post, can't argue with it. Anonymous2000 - 25/02/2017 02:40:18 AM 979 Views
I can argue with some of it Joel - 25/02/2017 09:32:17 PM 906 Views
You can say whatever you want, but you're wrong Tom - 25/02/2017 10:40:58 PM 841 Views
We are not discussing concrete facts, so objective error is impossible Joel - 26/02/2017 01:21:46 AM 967 Views
In any discussion, error is possible. In your discussions, it's a near certainty. Tom - 28/02/2017 08:24:59 PM 797 Views
On a different topic, how important do you think that stuff is? Cannoli - 03/03/2017 07:20:15 AM 911 Views
It's all about suspending disbelief, isn't it? Tom - 04/03/2017 01:13:12 AM 897 Views
That makes a lot of sense. Cannoli - 08/03/2017 10:18:56 PM 894 Views
On further reflection, I think the religion element being left out is important. Tom - 04/03/2017 04:07:53 AM 819 Views
Middle-Earth? Cannoli - 08/03/2017 09:53:45 PM 984 Views
A Elbereth Gilthoniel... Tom - 10/03/2017 04:48:50 PM 837 Views
Morning Star is actually a title of Mary, and the name of a summer camp run by nuns. Cannoli - 25/03/2017 09:59:31 PM 806 Views
Tolkien would also be familiar with Isaiah 14:12 Tom - 27/03/2017 05:09:49 PM 741 Views
Personally, "religion" in WoT makes perfect sense... For the AoL. Not so much the Third Age Dunstan - 09/03/2017 01:55:29 AM 920 Views
But did they really undeniably prove this existence? darius_sedai - 09/03/2017 04:19:43 PM 1029 Views

I think we are saying similar things darius_sedai - 12/03/2017 08:31:13 PM 922 Views
Some points Cannoli - 25/02/2017 11:54:50 PM 887 Views
Well, some THINGS anyway. Joel - 26/02/2017 01:56:29 AM 852 Views
Your recognition of irony is profound Cannoli - 26/02/2017 08:39:47 AM 811 Views
Not great, but better; what all went to Hell after ACoS, Sanderson at least returned to Purgatory Joel - 25/02/2017 03:39:58 PM 807 Views
MAYBE in the pacing, but that is it. Sanderson got absolutely nothing else right beyond the events *NM* Cannoli - 25/02/2017 11:59:06 PM 660 Views

With Demandred... That was likely at least somewhat the point. Dunstan - 28/02/2017 06:09:13 AM 797 Views

I still haven't read it. Stephen - 01/03/2017 08:03:53 PM 763 Views
Interesting, any reason why you haven't read it yet? *NM* Anonymous2000 - 01/03/2017 10:26:21 PM 474 Views
It was the end of their world as I knew it, and I felt fine. *NM* Cannoli - 02/03/2017 11:13:25 PM 503 Views
You were just happy that you-know-who died! *NM* Anonymous2000 - 03/03/2017 02:47:38 AM 512 Views
Disappointed, shocked, relieved. The Shrike - 03/03/2017 04:44:56 PM 757 Views
Curious - what were you hoping to happen to Rand at the end? *NM* Anonymous2000 - 03/03/2017 09:00:12 PM 526 Views
Me too! Delireus - 04/03/2017 10:19:21 AM 706 Views
Guess I'm in the minority, because I felt quite satisfied, all things considered. PseudoDragon - 03/03/2017 06:13:27 PM 652 Views
I cried and I was glad it was over! kazetaran - 04/03/2017 09:13:03 PM 848 Views
The Fouth Age is quite a fun little sandbox. Full of possibilities. *NM* *NM* Dunstan - 05/03/2017 07:11:30 AM 473 Views
there's just SO MUCH that could happen Delireus - 05/03/2017 09:33:26 AM 854 Views
